Fundamentals

Martial Arts • Technique

Root • Physical • Routine • Practice


The Fundamentals of Martial Arts are a daily practice to keep sharp. When we’re young and don’t know better, the basics don’t seem to make for much fun, but as we get older and find ourselves with more practical experience, we find the fundamentals either make or break.


Routine Practice: 1 Routine Path

When we practice our Fundamentals we gain a Toughness against damage we take when fighting weaponless.

The Toughness is equal to 100% of our Strength Score and lasts 24 Hours. Performing Fundamentals while you already have Toughness replaces the previous stack.

This Toughness may be spent as the Vitality Cost to activate Weaponless Actions.

If you stumbled here by accident, that’s all gravy. We use these pages in our archives as templates, style guides, reference content, and reusable assets. I’m also getting to write the FAQ, which is fun.
