JmOz Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 So working on a speedster for a 6th edition game I am going to be running. It is what I am calling a Urban Champions game, meaning that the heroe are very similar to what is called Dark Champions: Animated adventures, but a little more super heroish. Anyways, so I am working on one of the characters, and noticed that the MA available is limited (No MA book yet) so I am wondering...should i just use 5th edition MA (From UMA), what are the advantages/pitfalls? and how different will 6th be from 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NestorDRod Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Re: 5th edition to 6th edition problem (Martial Arts) Wait. You're telling me that after inflating the rules into two books, they didn't at least put the MA maneuvers in there? Jeez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Re: 5th edition to 6th edition problem (Martial Arts) the prices in 6E1 look to be the same as what is in 5th ed so at least for now till a 6th ed version of the UMA is done 5th ed UMA will do unless it is some chi powers that you may want to do that might have changed would need to be redone under the 6E rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the expanded/extended list that can be found in the Ultimate Martial Artist book was not included. I think it's safe to assume that the upcoming 6e martial arts book will include them, and possibly many more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without having to be specific, is the list in 6E the same as in 5E? Were any maneuvers removed/added? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealfoxbat Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Re: 5th edition to 6th edition problem (Martial Arts) Take a look at 6E1 82 and 6E2 90-94... If that doesn't work, you'll have to either grandfather MA maneuvers from 5E or wait for 6E UMA to come out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Re: 5th edition to 6th edition problem (Martial Arts) the list of maneuvers in 5th ed and 6th ed are the same price and effects till a 6th ed UMA or what ever they will call it I'd say UMA is still valid till new rules come out for it Take a look at 6E1 82 and 6E2 90-94...

Yansuf Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Re: 5th edition to 6th edition problem (Martial Arts) While I didn't notice any changes between 5th and 6th edition basic martial arts, I couldn't find the cost for "+1 DC" in the 6th, although the rules for it are there. Did anyone see the cost? If so, what is it, and where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jye42 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Re: 5th edition to 6th edition problem (Martial Arts) i like to built my own martial arts using a multipower pool. say a 30pt pool. e.g. Offensive Strike, +4D6 Damage, +2 OCV Nerve Strike, 3D6 NND Flying Kick, +4 OCV (to compensate for move-through penalties), 10pd instant(-1/2) (to reduce damage taken to self) that kind of thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy 5 maneuvers, your multi-power is now 30+5(3)=45 points. You can buy almost all the maneuvers for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapsedgamer Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Re: 5th edition to 6th edition problem (Martial Arts) I know it's too late for this concern as the change is upon us, but this is the kind of thing I was worried about with the switch from 5th to 6th. I really hope you are able to do what you want without having to wait for a new book to come out. I for one do not intend to buy everything all over again. Good luck.
