Ninja-Bear 1,214 Report post Posted March 29 I just watched the Legendary Weapons of China. It was a weird movie with some magic and martial arts. However it had a cool opening scene with several unique Chinese weapons. Also the final fight scene had a cool scene with Butterfly sword (they translated differently) and SHIELD! How often do you see a shield in a martial arts movie? And why are they never stated up in the martial arts game books? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I think a lot of the weapons are in the HSEG. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ninja-Bear 1,214 Report post Posted April 3 I finished watching Clan of Amazons. This was interesting because it was a investigation movie. Note the AmazonA weren’t traditional ones. The main villain was the Embroidery Bandit. He blinded his foes with embroidery needles. There was some cool traps too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just use the buy ability of Ninja Hero, Ultimate Martial Artist, Hero System Martial Arts. The ballance was done for me via how many points it is required to buy a single maneuver.

I'm not 100% sure about using an Endurance Reserve for the powered-up attacks. A friend of mine used skill rolls at difficulty for players to use their powered-up attacks and I was satisfied how it worked. What would you recommend? What about budgeting for powers, skills/perks/talents and powers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Note that Jumping Attack was ment to simulate all those rushing special attacks, both ground and air based. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhostDancer 454 Report post Posted April 7 Here's wishing the happiest of birthdays to the always entertaining Jackie Chan, born this date in 1954. The Hong Kong actor and martial artist is like a fun action comic book come to life. I love the guy. - Tony Isabella 2 Spence and Ninja-Bear reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
