FU SCHTICKS FOR THE HERO System

PATH OF THE SHARPENED SCALES

Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon

This Path—as well as the Path of the Hands of Light—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. As a side note, Bruce Lee was known as "The Little Dragon" making this a good Path for those players (and characters) who are fans of Bruce and Jeet Kune Do.
