When playing Ninjas & Superspies, the "2 for living" is ignored.

in NSS & MC the number of attacks listed in the form are what you get while using that MA form.

Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

Yep, that's the way it's supposed to work, but since I combine N&SS with other games, I ignore the rule about ignoring the two for living. Which makes Zanji really badass.

There is an interesting thing I should bring up.

This Information Comes from N&SS(Not the Revised edition either) I have a 1st edition
Printing of it. The Book says that you can Combine Har-wang Do and Moo Gi Gong
into a single complete form. That Means you add all the attacks, maneuvers, dodges,
and bonuses togethor in order to get complete form superior to the 2 seperate forms.

It might have been altered or changed in the revised printing which i do not have.

If someone is acting outside their martial art form, I give them two actions per melee; shoot and dodge, for example.

That's how it is. He'll have the bonuses from the W.P.'s, however.
