Depends on how your GM does it, but it is meant as both start as first level. I could be wrong though in my interpretation. As for Dedicated Martial Artist, clear it with the GM if he/she is using 1st edition N&SS or Revised (1st edition, they could take 3 forms total, 1 exclusive, 2 non-exclusive, or 3 non-exclusive, etc.).

Taking two, non-exclusive MA forms
DMA: Starting age + years to learn MA form #1, +years to learn MA form #2= starting age & @ L1 in both MA forms.

Taking a exclusive MA form
DMA: Starting age + years to learn MA form= starting age & @ L1 in the MA forms.

Ancient Masters
three forms: 1 primary @ L10 & 2 secondary @ L3
or... its two non-exclusive at L15
or ...its one exclusive @ L15
or is it the non-exclusive @ L3 or L1
or is it the exclusive @ L1 or L10....
(there is a lot of unclearness in the conversion text)
your GM will have to come up with his own ruling, I for one use the 3 MAF with the Prim @ L10 and the two secondaries @ L3. Why...it's an Ancient :crane: Master and it's suppose to be kick @$$.

It means you get the true Martial Art Forms rather than the "quickie" (Hand-to-Hand Combat) forms. Both styles will start at the same level as the character.
There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles of trials with smiles. It riles
them to believe that you perceive the web they weave
and keep on thinking free.

Level on in each.


The DMA as Anchent Master for HU1, the max start level for a MA form is level 7.
