quozaxx Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I am trying to come up with Martial Arts that one dragon can use against another dragon in hand-to-hand (or is it talon-to-talon) combat.. I would like to have about 5 or 6 maneuvers and know which (from first to last) the order in which they would learn them. Martial Arts is not my forte, and if you'd like you can add more maneuvers for more advanced dragon martial arts. If you'd like, you could incorporate their tails in the combat maneuvers, but not their breath weapon. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesguy Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Ok I know you are being serious and I will give a serious answer in a moment but the images I have in my head are old Godzilla movies where Godzilla does some funky little "fight/martial art" moves in the movies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iym8TVQH7hA But seriously you might want to go and look at the Martial Arts book and HD prefab pack.

Lucius Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 If dragon changes to human form, would they need another separated Weapon Element to use these maneuvers? Lucius Alexander Weapon Element: Palindromedary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius Alexander Weapon Element: Palindromedary Well to use martial maneuvers in a giant robot you do. So I would think yes. One point element-Humanoid should work.

TheDarkness Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Randomly putting this out there in case you find it useful. I like Lucius' build. I don't care for the dragon style kung fu template in the ultimate martial artist book, but that's because I'm nitpicky and have done a fair bit of dragon style. That said, I also don't like the touch of cotton balls, so I'm obviously odd. Anyway, in case it's useful. Actual dragon style kung fu has seizing, throwing, striking, and raking attacks. There are also kicks referred to as relating to the dragon's tail. All of those tend to work by working the entirety of your body against only a segment of your opponents. Now, I must go. If I stay too long in one place, the cotton balls will find me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I'd love to see a sinuous dragon use drunken monkey kung fu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Beastiary has a " Red in tooth and claw" martial art for critters...I think it would do just fine. If dragons can shape shift, buy usable in form "X" just like a weapon familiarity.

Manic Typist Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Well, I imagine they would have a couple of maneuvers related to aerial combat and fighting aerial opponents- suck as tricks for disabling opponents' wings, for instance.

Maneuvers depend on if dragons have wings or not too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Typist Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 True- but wouldn't a dragon without wings just be a huge fire breathing dinosaur? (or ice, or acid, or no breath weapon at all, etc.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
