The Gaming Outpost

The buckle probably is not removable. They make belts with snap fasteners and interchangeable buckles (I used to have quite a collection of buckles including both originals and copies of American Watch Company, […]

Yes, that is a correct understanding. Straight stabbing implements would be ideal for the style.

The belt buckle is attached. I don’t see a way to remove it, without disassembling the belt. Though that […]

I’m not sure if there is a category for this, but how about improvised weapons?

That actually falls under several different categories, but in this particular case it would almost certainly be a B7@6 Improvise […]

Happy indeed. Everything looks fine. Though, while I said I can kick, it isn’t so much a part of the style, as an extension of my options. Footwork is important. I can get behind someone, which gives me […]

From what you tell me of the stances, they are not that important to the mechanics of the style from a game perspective; you move between them adopting the one that gives you the best advantages, but beyond the […]

There are 3 different stances which each have their advantages. A high, medium and low stance. Low stance is good when fighting people that are taller than me. Or needing to attack a lower target. This is a […]

O.K., I’ve listed these skills:

1@5 Juijitsu B7@1 fast defensive weapon-adverse +0 Att SM -20 Def SM Attx2
2@1 Wrist Grab B7@2 use one hand to grab attacking limb and shift to expose rear, sacrifice initiative, […]

–This to me makes it sound as if it is primarily defensive: you only attack as an afterthought, focusing primarily on avoiding being hit.

Well, allow me to clarify this. I am a defensive person. Given an […]

Divert or avoid the first attack, and counter attack. Or, divert / avoid the first 100 attacks, and counter attack.

This to me makes it sound as if it is primarily defensive: you only attack as an […]

For me, it’s aggressive counter-attacking. Divert or avoid the first attack, and counter attack. Or, divert / avoid the first 100 attacks, and counter attack. It’s, in my opinion, defensive aggression. I […]

That’s very informative, but I’m having difficulty parsing it into something helpful.

Let’s separate the two styles for the moment and work on the first. We’ll call it Jiujitsu, to avoid any […]

Alright, to start with, I have no idea how to throw someone. Well, I know what *should* happen, but I don’t know how to initiate that. I mix and combine unarmed combat styles to suit the situation, I don’t know […]

O.K., let’s talk about your martial arts.

You’ve had several classes in Jiu-jitsu, with some supplemental input, but I take it you would consider yourself a low-level amateur. I have a version of a martial […]

First, I need to know if you have any skills at all at which you would be considered professional or expert. Professional means that you could be paid for work doing that, and expert means that professionals would […]

Excellent; I’ve got that together without any questions (which the others here will tell you is pretty rare).

You’ll find the next instruction post for the skills section here, I believe (if the link works […]

Oh, no, nothing specific. More a matter of, she would see something in the marketplace and melt over it, I would sneakily buy it and hide it till Yule, that kind of thing. So yeah, assorted jewelry is fine.

Ah, but she was raised in the merchant class, and one way they manage to make themselves wealthy is by being frugal, so she would think it better to save your money than to spend it. Besides, better for you to […]

Oh, she would have whatever she pleases. I get paid more than enough as a fire chief to afford to spoil her. She probably has a few thousand diktar worth of her taste in shinies.
