Black Rose Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Re: A New Look at Martial Arts Rummaging through the crud-pile that is my room, I came across (among other things that don't relate) my list of "all" the maneuvers. I say "all" because at the time I didn't realize that some of the martial art styles had slightly tweaked versions from the ones listed at the front of the book. Also, this was 4th Ed, but I don't think there were enough changes to the maneuvers to matter. Regardless, in this list I included my 0-point maneuvers to fill out the slots that seemed to just appear on the Martial Arts Maneuvers list. Without further ado... Ear Clap....1/2.....0.....-1.....-1.....1d6 Hearing Group Flash Eye Jab.....1/2.....0.....-1.....-1.....1d6 Sight Group Flash Trip........1/2.....0.....-1.....-1.....v/5; Target Falls I also have a list of someone's House Rules for getting the Elements out of the Optional Maneuvers listed in reFREd; pretty elegant solution, I thought, looking at the maneuvers as an algebraic equation and figuring out what everything you can define is worth, leaving the unknown.

zornwil Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Re: A New Look at Martial Arts Very interesting, Gary, will have to give it more thought. Can't rep you today (used my rep up) but in the meantime, bump! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Re: A New Look at Martial Arts Since I didn't want to reply to myself, I thought I would throw this in seperately. The idea occured to me as a neat little way to justify a cost break to martial art "tricks". Let the value of the maneuvers (or the value divided by 2) you've purchased (plus Extra DCs and/or CSLs, if you want) count as an EC base. I've noticed a lot of "martial artists" actually only buy about 30 points or less of maneuvers. So long as you limit the things that can be called martial arts tricks carefully, you shouldn't get overwhelmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
