Sorry to sound so eager. I rarely hear anyone refer to silat, so when you did I just figured you probably had done some. It is a great love of mine, and you are right that it deserves some RPG attention. Kung fu and karate get all the love.

One of the things I love about the Martial Arts System in BASH is that you can build just about any martial art with different combinations of styles and a few powers.

True. However, Kung Fu and Karate really aren't as easy to port over to H+I, since the fighting styles are based on weapons. That's why (along with the fact I was going with a region the arts come from) Eskrima and Silat

Also true.

True. Although, FYI, the silat that I do involves on one weapon - the knife. It is however in everything we do, whether you are wielding a knife or not.

Well, I'm not sure which version of armed Silat I might do. I've seen a version that uses two curved rattan sticks (which if I had the money, I wouldn't have gotten to use with my Kali training). Eskrima will likely be first though, as I actually know a little bit about it
