(Readjusting my outlines. Making room for a new style.)

The title is a place-holder for a later, grander name, for my first Martial Arts tree. Feel free to jump in to harrangue, comment, suggest, or otherwise provide feedback. In fact, I'll likely need all the help I can get. ;)
 
  
I'll post this to the proper place in the MA area once I have a concrete title. No need creating future dead links.

When these get more fully fleshed, I will submit them to the wiki MA section. Until then, they are considered incomplete and unworthy.
  
The focus of the style is that of the smithy: the fire, metal, tools (hammer, tongs, vise, anvil), and man. I've tried to demonstrate some of this in the tree by going three routes after the form charm: defense, offense against live targets, offense against equipment.

Hammers are treated as unarmed for use with this style. I'm considering allowing bracers as the only armor.

=== Comments ===
 
 
 
Random idea, for the Form: Soak Lethal with full Bashing soak, Gain Lethal Soak as hardness vs Heat and Fire effects (including environmental, and Fire aspect DB animas, that Dragon Vortex Charm, etc). - [[Nikink]] <i>Nice outline btw! </i>
 
 
 
*** Thanks, Nikink! I hadn't even thought about environmental soak against heat and fire. Duh on me. I'll look to include that. There are some pieces that I still feel are missing, but I can't pin down what they are, exactly. Hopefully I'll get some real wording and fluff in here in the next week or so. - [[HorsemanDeath]]
