MOO GI GONG Redux
By Mephisto
Entrance Requirements: No Attribute or Alignment restrictions.
Skill Cost: 10 Years (6 years as a secondary martial art)

The description of this style is the same as that found in Ninjas and Superspies. If you don't own it then buy the damn book!

Important Note: Although this character may have more weapon skills than other characters, the character will not be as skilled in certain weapons as one with more specific weapon proficiencies. For this reason, W.P. Weapon Improvisation will not have bonuses as impressive as other W.P. skills, but it is more encompassing. Another important reminder is that if the character knows other W.P. skills or other martial arts that provide Weapon Kata's then those bonuses do not apply to the abilities presented below. The only bonuses that apply to the weapon abilities below are part of the Hwang-Do martial art.

Costume: Same as Ninjas and Superspies.
Stance: Same as Ninjas and Superspies.
