Well its not a dimension book per se, but Manhunter does have an odd ball hand to hand in it. Its one of the Alien races, but I can't recall off the top of my head.

Actually that's the Martial Dragon OCC. Humans, Kirn, Chiropti and Ular all have signature martial art styles.

The Talus from Skrapers have a unique martial art form that incorporates their tail.

After the Bomb has a martial art style for quadrapeds(sp?).

Need to see some Kreegor Martial arts, that would be cool. Or better yet one of those tenticle things with like 6 attacks just for living(I know what it's called just not even gonna try to spell it off the top of my head. reminds me of Sebulba but weirder)

Ya I guess the Kreegor would use something like expert or assain but under a different name. THe Suljk(SP?) has a tail, can't remember if it's prehensile or not, so he could probably take that one the Talus use. But some of the more warrior enclined races(Wolfen, Noro) would probably have their own styles that are different enough from the standard stuff to warrent them getting a new type of hand to hand

the only one I'm aware of are the Oni Ninja and the Manhunter ones.

There's prolly a bunch in the various Rifters...


The Oni Ninja just have HTH Assassin. But the have the psi-ninja powers.

Read it again. It says a GM could let you take a specific MA rather than assassin...

Alright. But then they still don't fit this post, as they have no original Oni MA form.

The Talus from Skraypers have their own HTH combat skill. And the Tarlok seem to have a combat technique of their own as well.
