FU SCHTICKS FOR THE HERO System

PATH OF THE HANDS OF LIGHT

This Path—as well as the Path of the Sharpened Scales—is directly concerned with hitting and putting down an opponent. It is a good Path for bruisers, enforcers, and tough guys—both good and bad.

DIM MAK

Effect: HA +6d6, Indirect
Target: One character
Duration: Instant
Range: Touch
