Trained by a Master - Unarmed only
HI, I READ IN VARIOUS PLACES ABOUT TRAINED BY A MASTER - UNARMED. INCLUDING THIS FORUM BUT I DID NOT FIND ANY OFFICIAL MATERIAL THAT HAS THIS LIMITATION. I LOOKED IN THE BASIC, THE MARCIAL ARTS AND POWERS. SOMEONE KNOWS TO INFORM ME WHERE THIS LIMITATION IS AND WHAT IS ITS VALUE?

As a house rule, if I were going to interpret it quite strictly (i.e. is *wouldn't* allow you to learn Invisibility Art at all etc.) I might be persuaded to allow -20% or so, by analogy to the cost break you get for a "medium" class of weapons for Weapon Master.

Re: Trained by a Master - Unarmed only
It's one of PK's houserules. Not official, but as far as houserules goes it's pretty close.

Re: Trained by a Master - Unarmed only
One possible reference point might be Evasion from Action 3, which seems more limiting to me than Unarmed Only, and is pegged at -50%.
(Also, you probably shouldn't make posts in all-caps. It gives off the wrong tone to your message.) |

Re: Trained by a Master - Unarmed only
All of the cinematic skills and techniques for Trained by a Master are unarmed. If you want cinematic skills and techniques for weapons, take Weapon Master.

As another data point Mundane Background for -10 pts prevents all use of all Cinematic Skills. As a Limitation on TBAM (30pts) that would be -33% so giving up just 2 Skills out of 20 is much smaller. IMHO this is starting to look like "-xx% for not being able to do these things I wasn't interested in anyway".

I wanted to say that the skills I listed can be used either unarmed or armed (with the obvious exception of throwing and zen archery) ! The question of taking TBAM(unarmed only) usually arise when you buy both TBAM and weapon Master (all). you then have TBAM (unarmed) TBAM (armed) : basically useless, everything is covered by WM WM(all) |
