Message: <blockquote data-quote="sppeterson" data-source="post: 64894" data-attributes="member: 404">Second World Simulations has shuffled its release schedule a bit, making the Masters of Arms book its initial release.Masters of Arms96 page SoftcoverProduct Number: 2WS1100ISBN: 0-9718397-0-0SRP: $18.95Release: June 2002Over thirty prestige classes and 300 special maneuvers devoted to the use of weapons whose names you can’t pronounce! Special maneuvers such as the “Three-fold Strike” and “Stick a Fork in Him, He’s Done” help distinguish the glaive from the ranseur.Masters of Arms focuses on unusual weapons and those who master them. Combination maneuvers give you lots of different ways to devastate things while defensive maneuvers give you something to do while the monsters try to eat you. All the classes are designed with maximum flexibility and customizability in mind and most of their special abilities can double as new feats, so that those who don’t wish to specialize in a prestige class can still expand their library of actions. For gamemasters the Alpha Beast provides a convenient way to upgrade a monster for close in fighting, whether using claws or teeth or tentacles. And the telekinesis master can make fighting demons a very different experience.Here’s a list of the masters of arms included in the book:Alpha BeastAxe Power Fighting MasterBashing MasterBlinking MasterBow MasterCloak Fighting MasterClub MasterCrossbow MasterDagger MasterDouble-Pick MasterDual Sai MasterDual Swords MasterFlail MasterGlaive MasterGreatsword MasterImmovable Rod MasterImprovised Weapon MasterKusarigama MasterLongspear MasterNet MasterPrecision Sword MasterQuarterstaff MasterRanseur MasterRapier MasterRod of Lordly Might MasterScimitar MasterScythe MasterSpiked Chain MasterSword and Dagger MasterSword and Shield MasterTelekinesis MasterTensile Mercury Weapon MasterThree Piece Staff MasterThrowing Hammer MasterTrident MasterTwo Axe Fighting MasterNames left generic and descriptive for clarity (and because I used up all my ideas naming the maneuvers).Depending on space constraints some classes may be removed or swapped out for other classes. Any class from the above list not in the published version will be available as a preview/free download from the <a href="http://www.Second-World-Simulations.com" target="_blank">Second World Simulations</a> website.</blockquote>
