Pathfinder: Be A Martial Artist, Paint With Punches – New Handbook Out Now
Add some martial arts to your adventuring craft. Explore your options for melee combat while adding new and exciting character options to your games of Pathfinder.
Martial arts can add complexity to martial characters. Whether unarmed combat, or cool martial arts that involve specialized weapons, martial arts systems in RPGs add a little something to characters looking to do more than just say “I power attack with my Greatsword” every round. One of the big things martial arts can add to a game is variety. Whether unarmed combat that blends grace and ki to try and power complicated maneuvers, or forms and stances that build off of one another, or just different techniques you can pick up as you go, there are multiple ways to approach them. It’s basically adding some of the same flexibility of spells to martial characters. You might see some martial arts that help hone the mind, or others that use a dancers’ grace to see that they are always in position. In the Martial Arts Handbook, you’ll find a number of examples of how to expand your own martial arts character.
