Publisher: Fantasy CoreFantasy Core BUJUTSU - Art Of War
BUJUTSU - Art Of War is an official sourcebook for the Fantasy Core system. You will need a copy of the Fantasy Core Rulebook in order to play BUJUTSU - Art Of War. You can find the Fantasy Core Rulebook here on DriveThruRPG.
BUJUTSU is full of off-the-top-rope, flying side kick, no-holds-barred action! When you use this supplement, every melee combat is unique thanks to added customization. Your heroes are no longer limited to the Unarmed Combat skill. Instead, your heroes can become light-fingered masters of the Deft Touch School. They can confuse and befuddle opponents as masters of Drunken Fighting. Or they can launch powerful, lightning-fast kicks as masters of the Northern Leg School.
The goal of BUJUTSU is to give characters plenty of opportunities to acquire the Talents necessary to build a master of the martial arts without sacrificing character balance. By acquiring specific combinations of Talents and skills (most of which exist in the Fantasy Core Roleplaying Game), heroes can qualify for additional benefits, in the form of “free” special abilities. The abilities a hero gains depends on which school, or schools, the hero qualifies for. In short, BUJUTSU rewards characters for following a particular martial arts path.
Where other game products simulate martial arts with hundreds of new Talents, we chose to create only the necessary minimum. This allows heroes to choose only the martial arts Talents they need, and to use the rest of their character and experience points to become more well-rounded characters. But joining a martial arts school requires that the character make specific Talent and Skill choices, so the benefits of mastery aren’t entirely free.
