well I'd like them todo the much easier task of convering the H2H skills from mystic china and N&SS first

in addittion to allowing for mutiple H2H skills

I also wished they'd teak the combat rules a little. As an army man you know as well as I that being a gun expert does not translate into being a melee expert and presuambly not a magic expert either.
I remember days like this when my father took me to the forest and we ate wild blueberries. More than 20 years ago. I was just a boy of four or five. The leaves were so dark and green then. The grass smelled sweet with the spring wind...For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm.

I'd like the current HtH styles to make sense, period. Look at Basic and Expert for instance; they are the same skill with such a minor difference in bonuses that it is never worth trading an other skill to get Expert.
That and HtH Martial Arts is completely lack-lustre - especially in comparison to the real-world MMA format that has swept the globe.

Krav Mahga was also in Rifter #7.

I would love to see Krav Maga. I've been training in this for 6 years and love every second of it. I've been practicing wrestling, boxing, bjj, muay thai, sambo and various mma styles for about 16 years and, imo, none of them compare to Krav Maga in physical and mental training.

For those that don't know it was developed in Israel and has since become one of the most taught martial art forms to military and law enforcement agencies worldwide.



It was made in the Rifter #7, and while unoffical is one of the few rifters I like :)

But to point out, the degree of physical/mental training depends more on the teacher than the art style. With the right teacher ANY artform is physically and mentally challanging as any other.

The argument over which is better/more useful, I shan't touch with a ten foot pole :D
