Martial Arts Additional Rules
by Juri Memmert
Updated: September, 15th, 1997
The table shown below is the combination of the Martial Arts rules in Character Law (Section 13.31), Arms Law (Section 10.3) and RMC VII (Section 4.1). Furthermore I changed the values for OB and # of skill ranks to better suit the results of using the Unified Skill System (RMC VI).
Multiple Opponents or Multiple Attacks
- -20 for each foe over 1 engaged in any given round
- -30 for each attack over 1 in any given round against any one foe
- -20 Weapon Kata
- -30 TWC Weapon Kata
- -30 Two - handed Weapon Kata
These modifications are only partly cumulative:
All attack modifications are sorted as follows:
- Reduce the overall OB by the number of opponents attacked
- Reduce each individual OB by the number of attacks upon this very target.
Example: A Martial Artist, who attacks two foes receives -20 on each OB (1 opponent more than normal). The same Martial Artist could attack one opponent twice at -30 to his OB. Upon attacking two opponents twice each, he receives (-20-30) = -50 to each attack. Should he decide to attack one opponent twice and the other thrice, then his OB modification would be -50 for opponent 1 and -80 for opponent 2, not -80 for both attacks !
Additional Weapon Katas
Upon gaining a new Weapon Kata, the (N)PC must choose to:
- raise the severity of the weapon Critical to one of equal serverity,
- learn a new One - hand - Weapon Kata at -20,
- learn a new Two Weapon Combo Weapon Kata at -30,
- learn a new Two - handed - Weapon Kata at -30,
- reduce one previous Weapon Kata penalty by 10 up to a total of -0.
Upon achieving either a number of skill ranks or a certain OB (with items, stats, etc.) , the (N)PC receives the following MA abilities:
