Green Ronin does it again
Sun, Sep 27, 2009, 01:11 AM

I have enjoyed Green Ronin's D20 Modern products in the past, and this one is no exception. I enjoyed the interpretations of Martial Art styles within the book, and thought it was everything popular fiction depicts Martial Arts to be. A martial arts style is similar to a feat; you must meet the prerequisites to take a martial arts style, and it gives you some sort of combat ability. In addition to styles that exist in the real world, they also have a Gun-Kata style (like in the movie Equilibrium) and a Psionic based style.
I have to say, it's a balanced system if all your players use it (as well as your NPCs) but it isn't well balanced if, for example, a PC has a martial arts style and your NPCs don't; they will easily beat said NPCs.

I can not speak of this rule book's dedication to the original source material if the source material is non-fictional, but I think it is great for interpreting every martial arts movie and TV show I've ever seen.
