Violent Action Suppressor and Deterrent
By Sinestus

An interesting style developed for diplomats, lawyers, and similar business oriented professions. Fairly modern in its Moo Gi Gong approach to weapon choices, VASAD focuses on using a combination of briefcase/shield and stabbing with small knives (or high quality pens), but still teaches the methods of ancient philosophy and meditative techniques similar to Tai Chi and Yoga.
Ideally the fighter will either chase off his opponent with wide swings of the briefcase (if combat is to be avoided) or place their opponent in a lock and kill through multiple, vicious puncture wounds (don't forget about bleeding penalties...)

Briefcase Crunch - a quick, jab-like attack aimed for the groin. Deals only 1D6 damage (NO P.S.), but requires the target to make a save vs. pain. Each successive Crunch imposes a cumulative -1 penalty to the save. (can only be done once per melee, requires a natural strike of 12+ unless done to someone in a wrist lock.)

Briefcase Swing - slow but powerful move, defenders are +3 to parry, but will take damage to their parrying limb. Deals 2D4 damage normally, but critical if done to a victim in a lock.

Quick-lock - the martial artist offers to shake hands at the beginning of combat, and quickly shifts to a wrist lock. Those who accept the handshake are -3 to defend/pull away from the lock attempt.

Pen Stab - a quick draw-strike using a pen from an inside suit pocket or shirt pocket. Deals one point of damage direct to Hit Points (or 1D4 if a fountain pen) (half P.S. Bonus). Other strikes with the pen (after this initial one) only deal 1D4 damage normally.

Pen Throw - For long range attacks only, max range of 15 feet. Deals one point of damage to H.P.. No P.S. bonus.
