[P7] Martial Arts

[P7.1] Martial Arts Basic Rules (CF=1)

At CF=1, Martial Arts has no styles or maneuvers. Instead, you get a simple set of bonuses, as follows: AC +LVL (get +4 more if you wear non-bulky armor) Unarmed number of attacks = 2/1 (doesn't stack with Punching proficiency); then +1/2 more every 6 levels Unarmed damage +LVL By default, these bonuses are lost at CF=2 and up in favor of styles and maneuvers. If you wish to use this system at CF=2 and up (and ignore the styles and maneuvers rules), feel free to do so.

[P7.2] Martial Arts Basic Rules (CF=2)

Each martial arts style costs 1 kit slot or 4 nonweapon proficiencies. You must also have "Ability to take Martial Arts" which is itself 1 kit slot. All powers are psionic in nature (of frequency 0), and are resisted using aWR (anti-Weapon Resistance). Normally you must have a style before you can pick maneuvers, however, some classes give maneuvers without a style.   Open-hand attacks use both hands, not just one. Exception: you may use a shield in one of the hands. If you are somehow forced to attack open-handed with only 1 hand, #Att = 1/1 and you cannot use any special maneuvers. Natural Fighting still uses one hand, so you can use a weapon in the off-hand.   Martial Arts To Hit, Damage, and # Attacks bonuses do not combine with Weapon Specialization. If you somehow have both, use only set of bonuses at a time.   How to read the [P7.1] Martial Arts Styles table:   Att: Lists the number of attacks in unarmed combat. It may be applied to weapons only if the "Increase Weapon Attack" power is gained. This is done by taking the "Att" number on the table, subtracting 1, and applying it as a bonus; e.g. a rate of "3/2" above would give +1/2 on number of attacks for weapons.   dmg: Lists the die type adjustment in unarmed combat or when using a grafted weapon. It may be applied to other weapons (including missile weapons) only if the "Increase Weapon Damage" power is gained.   AT: The character's new base AT. If the character already has another source of AT better than +0, take the best of all sources and add 1 for each additional source; i.e. having ACs of +7, +6, and +3 yields an AT of +9.   Type: Lists "h" for "hard", "h/s" for "hard/soft", and "s" for "soft". Number of martial arts maneuver slots (weapon slots) to learn a maneuver is as follows:

Maneuver's Type Style's Type h h/s s ALL h ½ 1 1½ ½ h/s 1 ½ 1 ½ s 1½ 1 ½ ½

Requirements: How many powers of each method you must learn before being able to take additional maneuvers. You may break this rule by 1 power per level by spending double cost on it (in terms of proficiencies).   *: This style requires 2 kit slots instead of 1 to learn. **: This style requires 3 kit slots and "Ability to take Martial Arts" 4 times.

[P7.3] Martial Arts Second Tier

In order to take a Second Tier Martial Arts maneuver, you must first have fulfilled all the requirements of all of your Martial Arts styles. You may then pick Second Tier Martial Arts in the following order: 1. Pick (from among your styles) maneuvers that have a "16" requirement, if any. (Note: There won't be any of these unless you have Sinanju or a large custom style). Do this until you have 1 or more 2nd tier maneuver for each requirement. 2. Repeat above for "19", "18", "17", "16", and so on all the way down to "1". 3. Now fill your requirements in any order you like. 4. You may now pick any maneuvers anywhere.   # of Martial Arts Picks (may use Weapon Proficiencies) for Second Tier maneuvers is below. Note there are new types (Extra Soft and Extra Hard).

Maneuver's Type Style's Type h h/s s ALL xh 6 8 10 6 h 4 6 8 4 h/s 7 4 7 4 s 8 6 4 4 xs 10 8 6 6

In the maneuvers, "*" in the actions means you use all actions of that type. "#" means ypu can borrow from future, but only 1 of each power per segment per time taken.

[P7.8] Multiple Martial Arts Styles

Multiple styles do not have cumulative To Hit / Damage / #Attacks bonuses ; you must switch between them. You can't use more than 1 style per full segment. The requirements for all your styles add, so if you have a 2 and 3 in MP, you must take 5 before you fulfill that requirement. You may use maneuvers from any style you have, regardless of what style you're in.

[P7.9] Custom Martial Arts Style

Choose the following:   A = Base AT. Base ATs better than +10 cost 2 per 1 point above +10; e.g. "AT +12" has A = 14. D = Die type mod. Mods better than "d+8" cost 2 per 1 point above d+8; e.g. "d+9" has D = 12. N = Bonus Number of Attacks (beyond the standard 1/1) times 8. For example, "3/2" has N = 4.   You cannot choose a base AT worse than AT +0, a negative die type mod, or a number of attacks worse than N=-4.   Compute A+D+N. If the total is 12 or less, the style is legal as 1 kit slot. If A+D+N is from 13 to 20, the style counts as * (2 kit slots to learn). If A+D+N is from 21 to 28, the style counts as ** (3 kit slots and 4x ability to learn). If A+D+N is 29 or over, the style is invalid.   Pick a type (hard, soft, or hard/soft) for your style. ** styles can be "ALL". Pick a total of (A+D+N+4)/2 in requirements (round down) for your style.
