El Ciendo Rock – A Martial Art for Normads
Author: Gryphon
[The article deals with a fictional martial arts style for the normads in RTG’s Cyberpunk 2020 roleplaying game.]
So here is a contribution worked up by me with the assistance of Sharps, one of my players. This “Form” was developed by Nomad culture as an outgrowth of the Warrior sub-culture. It is a distilation of the techniques used by the Warriors of a tribe in situations like bars, vehicles, and town alleyways. This is a Close-in Combat Form. Its availability is pretty good for Nomads, not so good for everyone else.
| Stat | Colume | Random Notes/Explanations |
| Multiplier: | 3 | -1 for any true Nomad |
| Strike: | 2 | Knives,Bottles,Chairs,Etc |
| Punch: | 2 | Elbow,Headbutt,Etc |
| Kick: | 1 | Knee,Heel Kick,Etc |
| Disarm: | – | Take his Weapon? Why? |
| Sweep: | – | Too many chairs in bars. |
| Block: | 1 | |
| Dodge: | – | Close in Form,Not Mobile |
| Grapple: | 1 | Grab the Gonk by his Nads |
| Throw: | 1 | Pick him up and toss him |
| Hold: | 1 | |
| Choke: | 1 | Or the throat works too |
| Escape: | 1 | Defense against above |

Breakfall works like Block or Dodge vs. Throw, succeed for no damage,fail for MA rank less damage.
