Best martial arts for spies

Unread post by RockJock »

Ninjustu and Leopard Style Kung Fu are the most used, but what other styles do you use for the sneaky spy/thief/assassin types?

Ninjitus is still the best because not only does it give you stealth abilities and killing abilities, it also gives you disguise skills.

Anything that can easily and quickly incapacitate a foe while unarmed is a good choice.

If you're talking about ninjutsu, it's also unavailable to spies, costing two martial art styles.

There's always Moo Gi Gong.

There really aren't many martial arts with Arts of Invisability other then Leopard Style Kunk Fu which are non-exclusive.

I was just wondering if there was a better option out there that I wasn't aware of.

Check Mystic China. Failing that, there's always Palladium Martial Arts Netbook

I took a quick scan of the netbook, and some of the forms seem well balenced, especially the quickie forms as replacements for the traditional MA skill, but many seem over powered. I have a couple to as the GM about anyway. It isn't my fault if he lets it into the game:)

I've always been a fan of Sankukai Karate, Yu Sool, and Mien Chuan.
Monkey Style could also be interesting for a spy.
And let's not forget Moo Gi Gong.
