TheGloriousStrategist Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Brutes and Tanks are about raw strength. They shouldn't be using martial arts or any kind of fancy karate moves. Everywhere I see, everyone is rolling a Brute. This is making a mockery of things. It's even hurting the integrity of characters people make. Bruce Lee was not a brute, he was a scrapper. Period. Brute is a villain thing. 1 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabola Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I would agree that bruce lee probably was a scrapper but bruce lee does not represent the entirety of martial arts concepts. That larger bloke in enter the dragon (the bad guys champion) could be described as a brute simply on size alone. It's not for any of us to say what concepts are correct or not for anyone else.

Bill Z Bubba Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Watching granite armor with rooted enabled whilst kicking people in the face forces me to disagree with the OP. I still get the point... once upon a time the flavor of an AT was incorporated into the attack sets it was allowed... but then brutes got claws which forced me to say "proliferate ALL the things!" 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not agree with mass proliferation- I think it took away from ATs, but alas we are here so whatever just do it. :3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could have produced enough powersets that each AT could have it's own suite of powersets then that might have been ok but given how much work that would have been I think we are better off where we are. Besides I find it interesting how the same set plays differently on different AT's. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparition Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Martial Arts was ported to Tankers by Paragon Studios back in Issue 21. The only melee AT it was missing from at sunset was Brutes. SCoRE simply filled in the gap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yomo Kimyata Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) Well, I really hope I like Marital Arts as a set, since I just created three tankers: Dark Lee, Biologic Lee, and Radioactive Lee. I guess I'm making a mockery of things... EDIT: this has not been the first time I've mixed up "martial" and "marital"... I apologize, especially to my spouse...

In fairness, the line between "marital" and "martial" can be as confoundingly vague as it is infintesimally narrow. Which isn't always a bad thing. 😉 You see a mousetrap?
