Topic: Combat Companion: Combat Styles based on Real Life

[dutch206]

Inspired by Dark Mistress in another thread:

Something I would love to see is a web enhancement either by fans or ICE of a host of sample styles based on real life styles and fantasy based ones.

So, what do you think?  What real-world combat maneuvers would make a good fantasy combat style?

[dutch206]

My personal favorites:

Style name:  Pimp Slap
Style Focus:  Martial Arts
Maneuvers:
-Basic Pimp Slap (0 points) Tier I Strike max damage
-Pimp Slap from Beyond (4 points)  Tier II Strike max damage

Style name:  Oh, no he di'nt!
Style focus:  Directed Spell attack
Maneuvers:
-basic spell (0 points)  "you don't love me any more" Force(mental)
-Black Channel I (5 points) "Oh, no you di'nt!" Save vs a 10th level channeling attck, or half of your gold, property, and magic items disappear forever. 

This combat style is a direct response to pimp slap (see above).

By the way....this is April first.  April Fool!

A laugh point from me for this worthy effort !

You should check out the 0one games website. Their April Fools' gag was priceless: A press release announcing 0one's hostile takeover of WotC and the impending release of D&D 5th edition.

And what fuels all these editions?

The, "Oh my gawd man, this sucks even worse!  I cant wait till the do the next edition dude."

And that aint no April Fools joke.  What the collectable hobby aspect of RPG's has become.
