Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vigilance" data-source="post: 816192" data-attributes="member: 4275">You read my mind on Aikido.  Having martial artists come from the Dedicated hero had a lot more to do with my decision to make the BAB prerequisite of the Master +2 than anything to do with the Fast Hero.Capoeira I'd agree with Speed.Thai Kickboxing, I have to disagree and go with tough hero. The training for Thai kickboxing is so brutal (if done in the traditional style) that many fighters are too injured to compete because of things they endure in training.  Due to the brutality of the sport's roots I see Thai Kickboxers coming from the Tough/Strong tree.Well, I am not a big one for creating feats just cause.  My other d20 Modern book (slated to debut in days, DAYS I say!) has a few feats, but nothing overly extensive.  Especially considering the game has some new magic rules in it.Well that idea is what started me off writing this book to begin with <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I think using real world styles that I can put a name to is more fun for me and my players than Combat Martial Arts.  My experience in playtesting this game is that characters with CMA tend to roll their dice and their damage.  Whereas characters with Karate and Aikido roll play those feat choices differently, even if their combat actions are very similar.I have yet to take any of the comments made in this discussion as hostile.  Quite the opposite in fact.  If I didn't want to listen, I wouldn't have jumped in <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />In fact, the comments here are being discussed, diced, and fought over in my playtest sessions.I take these things seriously, so the book will be more fun when it debuts. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
