clsage Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 (Apologies for the minimal detail in this post but it's a quickie as I head off to work...) So.....I'm thinking about building a clan of Ninja who are, as the title of this post implies, monkeys. (And yes, I do owe an inspirational debt to the animated series "Kim Possible" ). Obviously, they would be built using the Monkey template from the Hero System Beastiary (pages 171 and 172) and a combo of Monkey style Kung Fu and Ninjitsu (potentially Takagi Yoshin Ryu school) from The Ultimate Martial Artist. From there I'm a bit stuck on potential skills, etc. Suggestions anyone ? Thanks. -Carl- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzMike Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Re: "Monkey Ninjas...ATTACK !!!" Sneaky skills. Ninjas are sneaky. And the ability to wail on guitars. See here to explore the real secrets of ninja. Because ninjas are awesome. And monkey ninjas are awesomer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Johnston Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Re: "Monkey Ninjas...ATTACK !!!" It's impressive enough that you train monkeys to be ninjas. Apart from the minimal stealth and climbing skills required to be monkey ninjas they shouldn't have anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Re: "Monkey Ninjas...ATTACK !!!" There's an issue of Digital Hero which writes up the martial-artist monkey warriors that John Wa the Monkey King (from Ninja HERO) can Summon. That might be a good place to start. I'll see if I can find them, assuming Susano doesn't pop in first with the data. EDIT: Ah, here we go, from DH #30. And whaddaya know, their writeup is a Free Sample: http://www.herogames.com/digitalHero/Samples/dh30monkies.jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Frisbee Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: "Monkey Ninjas...ATTACK !!!" Gawd, my mind just malfunctioned trying to wrap itself around the concept of ninja monkeys. The flying ones in The Wizard of Oz gave me childhood nightmares... Matt "In-search-of-Tylenol" Frisbee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGhee Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: "Monkey Ninjas...ATTACK !!!" You and me Frisbee, I digress, a story back in 1985 in our first champions game (ran a decade and still survives) my character A DEMI BRICK help the rest of the team come back from a pocket dimension. I got an after action report. so what was it like, it was the wizard of OZ, you mean like gold roads. . . no the wizard of Oz really no kidding, what happen to Empath. she went all dark on us, we had to leave her there. Man should we not try to recuse her? Nope not going back. (I never got the full story of that run that I missed.) well our game master never leaving a good plot thread lie had been running a side bar with the quote"Dark Empath" player. Our team found out about this when one night. Gm: there is a loud explosion in the Hall. Me: I wake up and enter the hall to see what is going on. Gm there is a portal on the wall and Flying monkey are coming out . . . You mean like Oz Gm yes except these have machine pistols and helmets with SS on them. I abort and dive for cover into my room, gm: good thing as the Monkey open up bad thing a couple of grenades follow you in. and you here the roar of a flame thrower down the hall. so you tell me our base has been invaded by machine pistol packen, strormtroopen train flying monkeys from OZ Gm looks that way. me looking at the rest of the group: I told you all that we should have gone back for Empath. Group: Dark Empath- she was scary. Gm: one more thing well two actually. me : what Gm Boom, Boom it was a great fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
