Avatar and the Legend of Korra

[cassius335]

Much of this writeup was done by Brawndo of the rpg.net forums, but I've rewritten fair chunks of it for my own game stuff. One of the primary additions is a d6 Specialty in a new category: Athletics. This is supposed to represent Korra's familiarity with pro-bending as well as her general physicality.

What's the difference between Atheletics and the existing Acrobatics Speciality?

Acrobatics is pretty specifically agility and gymnastics-type stuff, while I'm viewing Athletics as more strength-based or directly competitive sports. You would use the Athletics Specialty for strength stunts and to generate assets and resources based on getting sports endorsements. (An example of this would be Mako getting the Sato family to support their entry fee to the pro-bending tournament.)

Here's my standard response for people trying to add new Specialties: "Eh, it sounds more like a distinction to me."

See, I take the tack that it's important to add new Specialties for non-standard settings. But to each his own. There's plenty of room for both of our views. ^_^
