Yeah that was one of those oddball Unarmed Combat / HtH rule is it did 1
skill per weapon.<br>
We argued over that with Richard but as he always says you make hte
rules. Nothing in pnp is set in stone .<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Well, the way the rules are
written in the original rule book MA only applies to unarmed combat, but

like the one given is unarmed only.<br><br>
<br><br>
Moreover it says it's learning specialty strikes with those weapons. I
don't think it's meant to apply to missile weapons, as written. <br><br>
<br><br>
That being said, Assassin applies to all weapons. It's limited when not
ambushing, but it helps.<br><br>

Subject: Re: [PnP] Martial Arts EL bonus - Does it apply to missile
weapons?<br><br>
<br>
I am not familiar with a specific skill called Martial Arts. But all
martial skills apply their EL bonus to use of the specific weapon. Some,
like Assassin, apply to all combat rolls regardless of weapon type. If
one has house ruled a generic 'Martial Artist' skill and I were the GM I
would rule that the EL would apply to any weapon the 'Martial Artist'
skill applies to, but only using the greater of the Assassin and Martial
Artist bonus rather than cumulative effect if the character has
both.<br>

<dd>Yes, I do know it's my campaign, but I would like to get a sense of
how others handle it. My current thinking is that it doesn't, but there
is also Zen archery, and I remember David Carradine throwing spears
around on the TV series, Kung Fu so maybe it should. <br>

<dd>Yes, I'm that old. <br><br>
