RECRUITING - Weapons of the Gods: Bei Clan Tournament

pulling it out of the backround, what do you mean?

Ah! alright lets say I use a level 3 light foot, would I be able to take two of X chi type and 1 one Y chi type or must it all be from the same type?

No, pull the code tags off the top (so word wrap works).

And yes, you can even use type X, Y, and Z.

Also, note, you can't learn beyond Level 3 in any of the Common Martial arts to start.

Good, good, I think I have base premise down, one last thing could you touch on skill specialization?

When you specialize, 2 specializations cost 1 skill point. Example specializations (Ones my character, Darring Pengu has)

Initiative: Dramatic Entrance
Melee: Sabre
Inspire: Style
Athletics: In Combat

He has them all at 1, so he adds 1 die when rolling those skills in that situation after other modifiers.

You roll 1 die per skill rank, plus 1 if the attribute is not lower than the skill, plus specialization if you have it.

BTW, Style roles are making those dramatic/impressive poses, and is done using the inspire skill.

And if you don't belive my character is a fun tongue in cheek character by now knowing what I've said about him, I don't know what will (And no, I won't be playing him here). Origionaly based off of a character that I played in a different system named "The Magnificent Weasel", who is legendary in out gaming group dispite only being played once.

The dice mechanic is strange, but works fairly well, and allows for cool power ups (AKA Dragonball Z) as you get higher in levels.

So my ligt skill right now, thanks to specialazation, would net me 10 dice?

No, 6. You only get a bonus of 1 die if you skill is less than or equal too your attribute.

What is Oxes Strength as a specialization?

FYI, Fight generaly is used for Brutal styles, Melee for Artful, and Ranged for, well, ranged.

I don't know, there was a specazion box, it asked for a skill, a name, and an amount of points

So I choose Lift, it was an empty box for name, and I put the counter up to 5, it took Destiny points to use this option

Ooh, I didn't notice you pumped it up. You can't specialize beyond 1 rank to start. Otherwise, yes, you would get 10.

However, it's a situation or use of the skill. Oxes Strengh isn't exactly a use for the skill. Lift: People, Lift: Overhead, Lift: Face (well, maybe not) are good examples.

2 specializations at 1 cost 1 destiny.
