And in real life when a rifleman shoots one of those martial artists in the head, they die.
This isn't real life.

Thats true this isnt real life, lets go ahead and get rid of gravity, oh and physics, screw physics we dont need any of that because this is a video game.

Now i'm a martial artist in real life, and so far tka is in no way realistic. First off, we should not have vk's, unarmed means exactly that. Secondly, our damage against unarmored opponents should be god-like. There are so many places on the human body that react quite violently when hit hard, and by violently i mean you die. Good martial artists can kill people inone strike, and in more than a few ways. Secondly, good martial artists are almost un-hittable. Watching two 5th tier martial artists fight is an amazing experience. A blur of motion for 5 minutes straight, and both fighters are untouched. Third, there are styles of martial arts that are based ENTIRELY off of counterattack, can we say aikido anyone? And third, there are martial artists you could come at with a sword, knife, 8 foot stick, gun, whatever, it doesnt matter, because they will disarm and destroy you. I know, because we tried that on our sensei once, not one person hit him with anything, including a pellet gun. Fourth, what is with 100 resists to kinetic? I know a guy who can put 250 pounds of force into a 2 inch square box, consistently. repeatedly, on command. now are you telling me that someone could put that into an npc's larnyx with NO effect? give me a break. And finally, there are martial artists who can hit a stack of bricks that is 7 bricks tall, and ONLY break the BOTTOM brick. Now if that isnt armor peircing I dont know what is. Teras kasi should take more skill points, and it should be a great proffession against players.
Ug another one of these...
Our damage against someone without armor is god like duel a guildee without armor buffed and unbuffed..
Everyone knows TKA dodge isnt what it needs to be except you apparently
Get TKM if you dont have it already and duel another TKM buffed no armor or even a fencer and tell me that the fight doesnt take a few minutes....
Things that are 100% Kineticlike Elders are force sensitive just tank it and have a rifleman/cm with you..
YOu claim your a martial artist in real life, well this isnt real life bud learn your profession

TKM is very powerful, its just that armor makes it much more difficult.

Since you are trying to be realistic here, we need the VK. It's our way of penetrating armor, I think some form of gloves would be a little cooler and slightly more realistic but.......

Not to mention how would you miss witha constant stream of napalm, and if it hit you, how would you calmly put it out with a blanket.
If you got shot in daddy berries (Low Blow)would you ever get up?
How would someone chuck disease with no risk to themselves?
If someone shoots me in the eyses (Blinding shot) would I still see?
Would anyone ever dodge a bullet?
How do Torturs come out of a lair the size of their little toe?
I could go on forever, but you see, there is a lot of things that are fantasy (ie NOT REAL) in this game and Teras Kasi not being as powerful is not one of em. Like what others have said, use it without armor on either of you and it looks about right, a rifle will kill you and if it misses, youd kill them. Against another brawler it will last a while cause after all, karate, kung fu, etc are not the only martial arts in the world just because its hand to hand. There are still weapon diciplines out there. Also consider you are out there getting beat on by some huge nasty beasts. Ask any martial artist if they want to fist fight a tiger and see what they say.
Just curious though, where is the one hit death touch?

I hate when "specialists" try to apply real life to game.
This isalmost worsethan the geeks who actually work out how many gigatons of power or whatever the Death Star fires.
Slapjack, just play the damn game. If TKA still bugs you then, don't play as a TKA. If you're not a TKA and it still bugs you that much, ignore them. If you simply can't ignore TKA's, and they begin to appear in your dreams and on your cereal box, cancel your subscription.
Jesus.

I think that TKA should require master Brawler
Given the facts on the EU, it should be a powerful proffesion.
But I actually think that weapons are cool for TKA.
I would like to see a TKA, like a mix of all of it.
maybe wielding two small sticks(batons?) for dual wield, or a little vibro knife, that is turned the other way around like an assasin knife.
Also i would love to see some kind of healing abillities on others - Maybe a very slow healing of others wounds(nothing that will compete with a doc) if they watched the TKA doing full meditation(should be a master tka skill)!It would be Monk kind of a thingy!

Why does it have to be one extreme or the other? Why be 100% total realism or else 0% realism? Let's see our options here.
100% realism
- Your martial artist rules and can do the death palm
- You get shot in the head, you die 98% of the time and create a new character.
- You have to spend 1/3 of your in-game time sleeping.
- You also have to eat and use the bathroom.
- Oh yeah....no hyperspace or laser guns. I guess the whole game would take place on Earth, too.
0% realism
- No gravity!
- No physics!
Happy blend of realism and fantasy
- Every video game ever

I think you maybe taking that a bit far. SWG is supposed to be similar to RL but guided by different rules. Do you see any Jahovis whitnesses with the ability to shoot lightning from there finger's?
