1) Hwarang-Do Karate, Mien-Ch'uan Cotton Fist Kung Fu, and Yu-Sool have Death Blow listed as a special attack but not in the Level Advancement Bonuses.
2) Jujutsu does not have Death Blow as a special attack but gets it at 6th level.

Anyone know whether these martial arts should get Death Blow or not?


Hmmm. . . a tough question

Welcom to the Forum anyway.

As it's written it seems that, Hwarang-Do Karate for instance will get the ability during the creation of the character. Becuase it's not listed/ or they don't get it becuase its not listed in the advancement of the Martial Art. I would go with the first becuase it's listed-

With Jujutsu I would say it's available at 6th level not before-becuase of how it's written out.

These are just my thoughts-

and again welcome to the forums!


I'd have to agree.

Hey psyronin, which book version and printing do you have? Maybe someone has a book that has that missing info...

Comment: If you have something to say, back it up with thoughts and reasons. Simply posting to agree or disagree tends to be a waste.

Mien Ch'uan has at lvl 4 a crit on nat 18+. Could choose to go with that?
