trechriron Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Only had a chance to skim so far (just bought the PDF) but I am impressed with how you did powers. Reference the big gold book as needed interspersed with your new stuff. Brilliant! Also, on one book shelf (OBS), your product is classified as Runequest for system. Wouldn't you want it to come up in BRP and Basic Roleplaying searches? I would see if you can't add more categories or have the books primary category changed. With the monographs available on OBS now, being in the BRP category should be an advantage IMHO.

reueld60 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Thanks Charles for your answer. Actually, as i want to use the air dragon style where punch and kick are within it, i can keep brawl in a way. But still i can put points in Head Butt, cause if i'm grappeled, a heah hit can be usefull.......... I'm going to play my "new" monk next week and i guess it's gonna be really fun. By the way, congrats for creating "Nimble Jumping Dodge" and "Skyward Leap".... I was dreaming doing such things during games! Merci encore, Charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reueld60 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Second question: If we take a style in Dragon Line, this style merge with all aspects of the monk definition within the classic fantasy? Thanks in advance for your reply Charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Green Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Second question: If we take a style in Dragon Line, this style merge with all aspects of the monk definition within the classic fantasy? Thanks in advance for your reply Charles That is something I wouldn't even be able to comment on. While a Dragon Lines style doesn't give you anything you can't get under normal circumstances, there is no telling how it would interact with the Monk profession in Classic Fantasy. It might not be an actual issue during play, but things could get out of hand quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jegergryte Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Question about the "Throw Target" skill. If the target of this has a higher Acrobatis skill, can it be used instead of the Agility characteristic? I'm wondering because I'm a little confused as to how acrobatics is actually supposed to be used in the game… Quote "What about the future...?

I'm wondering because I'm a little confused as to how acrobatics is actually supposed to be used in the game… Hmmm... Not sure I understand your question. "Throw target" is supposed to be used in a combat context. Acrobatics has a wider field of application -- which I would allow a PC to use in lieu of an Agility roll.

Jegergryte Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Sorry for clumsy wording. When someone is thrown by use of the throw target skill, they can roll agility to not end up prone… if they have a higher acrobatics skill than agility characteristic, could they roll that instead? Additionally, would you let acrobatics replace agility in instances where agility is usually rolled, if context would reasonably allow? What exactly is acorbatics used for, that is not covered by already existing skills and characteristics? Quote "What about the future...?

GianniVacca Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 What exactly is acrobatics used for, that is not covered by already existing skills and characteristics? Well I did not write Dragon Lines, but judging by the wording: "Commonly held by circus performers and strange martial artists..." I would say that Acrobatics has been added for flavour Quote 「天朝大國」，https://rpggeek.com/rpgitem/92874/celestial-empire 很有意思: http://celestialempire.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankcam Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I like the Martial Arts styles, its good to have access to various techniques, skills, wuxia powers etc. One query regarding Martial Arts - does the Techniques replace the pre-existing Martial Arts mechanics, or compliment them? Does the martial artist still get to roll damage twice in addition to choosing a Technique, or does the Technique chosen replace the Martial Arts damage rule as listed in the BGB?

Jegergryte Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Look on the side of page 58. You get techniques and double damage. Beardy. Quote "What about the future...?

Jegergryte Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Question: The Jeweled Courtesan Style… the third technique witty repartee -> nimble defence [fast talk or etiquette] … can I use fast talk or etiquette as defensive skills now? I wonder what the intention behind this technique is, because frankly I have issues understanding what its good for… or is there some stuff in DL or BRP I have overlooked when it comes to social skills? Quote "What about the future...? We only hope, we cannot however account for the minutiae of the quanta, as all accidents in an infinite space are inevitable."

Charles Green Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I agree that it could be phrased in a clearer fashion. A Nimble Defence is one that you can use more than once in a combat round, at full skill level, no matter how many times you've already used it. In this instance, the power is meant to allow you to always have a comeback when attacked socially by characters, using either the Fast Talk or Etiquette skill. I saw it as being useful if the Jeweled Courtesan is trying to do something like convince a magistrate to let you go, and both the Chief Prefect and a local Nobleman are trying to arrange a hasty imprisonment. In this instance, you'd be able to defend yourself socially against both of them, being able to come up with a witty response to whatever damning evidence they have against you. Mainly, though, it's a color-and-flavor ability to reflect a character who is so adept at social situations that anyone trying to get the better of them can't even get an advantage by dog-piling them in a debate. It's in no way intended to be used as a combat ability, but I can see how you might read it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Hey all, there are three of us on the RPGnet forums that are interested in playing a martial arts game using Basic Roleplaying, possibly with the Celestial Empire and / or Dragon Lines supplements. Some pretty interesting discussion at this thread (including wuxia in spa-a-ace!): http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?608305-Interest-BRP-based-Oriental-Martial-Arts-Game If you might be interested in playing, and especially if you'd consider GMing, please check it out!
