It definitely is different. I'd play it


the only thing I'd have a problem with is the mass destruction thingy...

Have you got a version for Librarians?

The Mother Superior Elite....

But seriously, I know feel , if not challenged, encouraged to look into specific martial arts styles evolved by unlikely professions...Nothing definite(least of all the name) but consider what your own job might evolve as a martial arts if taken to the extreme...

Feel free to offer up ideas, suggestions, or steal this whole thing from me...


Librarians---Style evolved for fighting in close quarters, using book shelves and other obstacles to crowd and herd attackers into inferior positions...Chi-based attacks allow books and sheets of paper to become superior cutting blades(paper cut of death) and parrying shields...Pen is Mightier Than Sword pen-dart attack...strong emphasis on mental discipline.



Janitors---Strong staff attacks and katas.....Strong mental disciplines when facing ungodly messes...improvizational combat similar to Moo Gi Gong...especially blinding attacks with thrown water and detergents.

Nurses---Close quarters style based on subduing unruly/insane patients with minimal contact....grapples on extermities and pressure point attacks, Parrying skills with clipboards and dart attacks with loaded syringes...Strong interpersonal skills and techniques such as the 'Calming Angel' Technique(boosts ME and MA to appear optimistic and calming in the most dire of circumstances. Possible holistic medicine cultural skills?

Convenience Clerk---Emphasis on fast dodges and strikes from seemingly total paralysis, close-quarters grappling, locks, holds, and disarms...Strong emphasis on using opponent's strength(often superior) against them...Minor skills in improvized weapons(mops, bubblegum, cigerette cartons)...Evolved from long nights of watching kung fu movies between being repeatedly held up.

Why should nuns have all the fun?

Have you seen the Anime Read Or Die (R.O.D for short)?

Yep(heard of it, but not seen it...though the Paper's abilities are better addressed under Superpowers)...I'm also very fond of the theory of libraries in Terry Pratchet's Discworld(and the melding of orangutan combat skills with the use of reference tomes....Hah, Wookies can only tear your arms off; librarians can make you one with your hat-size!)

darkmax wrote:And the environmental engineer style, the elite ability to use a broom and watering pipe to their utmost capacities!

Ah, and the Crawlspace Kata, which allows you to use your feet and arms to best effect while trapped inside a vent!

and don't forget Iron Lung body hardening..hours and days of breathing dust from the AC system...you either get black lung, Legionaire's Disease, or you come out with x3 breath holding ability, +1d4 PE, and +5 save versus inhaled toxins/gases.

Yipes.

keep in mind there are no martial arts powers what so ever

Divinus Ultio Ultionis - my Latin sucks and my dictionary is a small one - is that something like "Ultimate Divine Vengeance?"
