Talk:Eight-Legged Harvest Promenade
---MOVED FROM GRASS SPIDERS FRONT PAGE---
I've given this style some thought - it's based on the jumping attacks of the Grass Spider, so it will be highly acrobatic and surprise attack based. Form weapons are based on the spiders' main forms of attack - its web (rope, fighting chain, chain daiklaves, kusarigama), its fangs (short daiklaves held in a reverse grip, kama, daggers), and its hairs, which are thrown as a form of self-defense (darts, throwing knives). Things you'd see a ninja frequently wielding are also comfortably in-form for the style (nunchaku, shurikens). Improvised weaponry (bar stools, garroting wire, yeddim carcasses, wagon wheels with bombs strapped to them, grand pianos, angry villagers, and a corrupt justice system, to name a few) is encouraged enough by the instructors of the style that most of it is probably in-form too. So long as its over-the-top, extremely cool, or both, I'm probably going to let it fly. Things that are straight Melee weapons (axes, daiklaves, tetsubo, goremaul, etc.) that aren't explicitly mentioned above are probably going to stay Melee weapons, though.
It is a Terrestrial Martial Art, and does not permit the use of armor. For what it's worth, practitioners require Athletics 2 and Stealth 2, but this requirement is already fulfilled by the minimum Grass Spider abilities. In the unlikely event that a non-Grass Spider were learning the style, they would need Athletics 2 and Stealth 2.
