Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ace" data-source="post: 1881363" data-attributes="member: 944">Weird weapons?I don't really have an Asia in the game world -- there is Orena which is a polyglot of all  parts of Asia thrust into a countty the size of India and mixed heavily In theory any kung fu movie weapon is allowedIn practice the new version of my game world limits odd ball weapons The list includes Swordbreaker -- this is basically a Jitte/Sai thing Ropesticks -- Nunchaku basically Bolas --  Dueling Swords -- not a rapier but more of a cut and thrust sword like the spanish espada civil -- stats as rapier does cut or thrust damage Kel -- this is throwing weapon like the kleeat from Fridays Child (TOS) -- it is carried as a second weapon in numbers from 1-5 (depending on BAB odd enough) is an Exotic weapon with twice the range of a hand axe and does 1d8 Shang -- another thrown weapon. Its an exotic weapon  varient of the Hunga Munga does 1d8 --  stats as a Hand Axe otherwise Star Blades -- Shuriken Bladestaff--  A counter weighted short glaive -- like the Naginata -- also called a Swordstaff and can be used with a special style as a double weapon getting a 1d6 blunt attack and using staff related feats Rith -- A fighting chain analgous to the manriki gusari There are a few exotic weapons out there as well -- repeating and hand crossbows, bastard axe (aka Dwarven war Axe) pole axe and mancatchers As for martial arts -- there are a lot of them. A few were published as PRC's in D20 weekly -- currentversion are feat chains with the entry feat a renamed version of an old feat -- sometimes upgraded here are the basic ones The Hala: Systematic unarmed/armed fighting. Kind of like a mix of combatives, tai chi, krav maga and arnis/escrima 5 Elements Fighting: Mostly sword and shield work based around the elemental philosphy that pervades my game world Baraka Stick Dance: Flashy unarmed/stick form that is disguised as a dance. A little like Jo-Jitsu and Wu-Shu and Capoeira blended 12 fold path swordmanship: Kind of like a westernized Kenjutsu or that Heron Mark stuff from Jordans work. The practitioners are known for their excellent swords with the dodecahedral pommel nuts Baan Speed fighting: Mostly knife and hand work. Basically hit them fast hard and often. Fast of defense too. The art is very draining though Initiate of the Litany :This is really a meditative form although most of the pratictioners are warrior types. I use the "Exercises of Arndt" feat from Dragon for this one Knife Way (also Knife wrestling) Ths is similar to European dagger fighting techinques combined with wrestling and hand blows Longshooter Method --Formalized Longbow training with a hint of Zen Slaver Style --This is a grappling and subduing method a little like modern police training only with mancatchers and bolas added in Dreamblade --This is based on a real martial art aimed at mystics. I haven't stated this out but its what fighter/mage types use Disipline of the Forms --This is rather like the magic circle fencing of the 16th century -- lots of emphasis on paterns and mystic repitition and great secrets and the like</blockquote>
