Martial Arts Profession

(quick note, did a search didn't find anything)

Over the last few weeks I've been having an urge to have a weaponless character that can really get up close and Rip my foes a new one. I then discovered you cannot attack without a weapon. As silly as it is for a Vet like myself to be so ignorant to this little issue, I found myself wanting to help make a Martial Arts Profession.

Ideas:
The Martial Arts Profession would probably go by another name to fit in better with the Name Scheme, i'll referr to it as MA for now.
Basic weapons for Martial Arts would be some sort for handless Attribute system. Seeing how all the Professions now have their own special Attribute, (strength, Divine, Soul Reaping etc.) The MA could have a dmg related Attribute called Aggression or something more fitting.(MA would also focus more on Adrenaline like Warrior does)
Aggression could work like: For each attribute point assigned to Aggression, MA hit for +2 and adds +2% chance for a critical hit (some Skills are affected by Aggression)
Rush is an Attribute based on speed of attacks.
Some skills could be based on speed of hit Ex. 25% faster or maybe a skill that boosts adrenaline per hit succession when attacking faster with lowered accuracy.
Chain Hit would be another main focus for MA. I would like to see it similar to what assassin have, do this skill to unlock usage of that skill, but its different than that. It would work more like ...
Fists of fury (2 Adrenaline) Hit (x) times with decreased accuracy> it unlocks use of < Blinding Jab (4 Adrenaline) +20 dmg Attack Blinds and has (4%)[multipy 4 by amt of Attribute} of inturrupting enemy

This is quite a rough idea and suggestions would be great!

Edit: weps could be weilded like nunchuku, and maybe would work with other attributes or knuckle spikes or etc.

Yeah.... Guru has a really really really poor fourm search engine..... (damn that blue dog)

Its rough. Would recomand take a look at the concept class sub fourm to see what other do, polish up more, and post a new draft there.

And welcome to the fourm.

Check out my Pwari, it is basically what you are talking about.

as well as my dwarvern battlerager, and several others i've seen, but since you didn't post in the concept classes place originally, i can see how you missed it.

Weaponless, but use the weapons slot for another set of gloves/gauntlets, though it was written up more from/for a DnD sort of archetype, more creative, less actual #'s(or atleast less concrete #'s) than most proposed ideas.

I don't search for any of my posts half the time, because mostly the search yields too many results, often not even pertaining to what i'm posting about at all.

I see where the similarities are but i'm talking about a full fledge Martial arts character, not a Gauntlet fighter or something like that. I mean Throwing a few slugs and switching to a sword for a combo isn't the same as going bruce lee on a Hydra. (heh odd thought)

Going bruce lee on a hydra would be suicide.
