Whimsy: Bat Fu

A digression on the forums about using Sports skills for combat led me to pen the following:

Bat Fu

The roar of the crowd. Reflexes of lightning. The power of earthbound gods. All of these are part of the legacy of the martial art known as Bat Fu.

Founded by the legendary Kei Si after unsuccessfully competing at a major competition in the town of Ní chéng, it’s practitioners study one weapon, and one weapon only: a balanced club known as the Lùyìsī wéi’ěr bàngqiú.

It is primarily a defensive style in essence. Practitioners begin – always – with a Wait maneuver, and then lash out at the exact moment with crushing force. If caught off guard, parries are Aggressive, and Parry Missile Weapons is a primary skill. Very little thought is given to defense, and most attacks are All-Out or Committed as well as Telegraphic.
