Tera Kasi Artist Masters are suppose to be the kung fu masters correct? So we would assume that these guys would be top physical condition considering the harsh environment and all the training...olympic level if you will. So they should be faster, stronger, more balanced, etc. correct? So will we get modifiers to speed of attack, running stamina etc? will posture changes affect us less?


I have been in martial arts myself but am far from master nut i have friends that are way up in kung fu. they claim that in real life a master can take on 8 otherdecently trained fighters and win.


I also know that I at my ealry level of traing in real life learned how to attack a person while moving and how to close distance efficiently and effectively.


I also know this isn't real life and you have to balance the game the way that works best so I am trying to understand the future for this class.


considering it isn't real life and has "fantasy" elements a real life idea like "chi" a minor version of the force i guess (i am not saying give tka masters the force) should be implementable to explain how a master might do the extraordinary by channeling endorphins/adrenalin/emotion and mental focus so large bounds, exceptional speed, massive strength, multitasking (running and attacking), etc. are feasible.


I know you have said pistoleer is over powered but my friends are even pistoleers yet just have some pistol skill and i have nearly mastered unarmed and they at level 2 pistol in marksman are way outclassing me and pressuring me to pick up the pistol to be useful. they end up getting the massive xp as i suffer much smaller amounts due to not being able to do much damage.


just let us know the plans and role of this proffesion so we can make informed decisions. thank you

These must be young friends full of piss and vinegar who have been watching too many Kung Fu movies.


You show me a man who can beat 8 other men at once in hand to hand combat and I'll show you one decent opponent and7 passed out drunks.

I like to think I am young at 31 but probably not young as you mean and my friends are of similar age. I have actually seen a Karate sensei take out 4 students before so its not out of the realm of possibility. only a few people can actively attack a person if no weapons are involved without utterly being in each others way. Using them against each other you can gain blocking by putting them in each others way and toss/throw them into each other. Not saying that the 8 thing is true but i have heard more than one person claim to have seen this. At any rate that point is far from the important one in my post...the kung fu movies should be more of a reference for the game than real life anyway as jedi's, creature handlers, and the like are fashioned from movie references.
