02-14-06, 09:56 AM I am doing some legwork for my DM here. Has anyone come up with or know of a usable boxing or prowrestling system that works well in D&D?

Thanks!

While just using feats and normal combat rules works well, we were interested to see if someone has come up with a specific system that adds in such things as crowd support effects, bleeding effects, or flashy moves and holds. Anything to bring more flavor to the fights.

All of that can be accomplished through feats.

Check out Oriental Adventures for some juicy hand to hand combat feats, like Great Throw etc.

02-14-06, 03:31 PM Complete Warrior has rules on gladiatorial contests (covering things like xp gain, crowd participation, flashy moves [they describe it as a type of Perform skill, which makes sense because impressing a crowd SHOULD be Charisma based])... and what, really, is a wrestling match but a gladiatorial contest without weapons? Or at least, with exclusively improvised weapons...

You know, if I was going to make a wrestling character, I'd definitely look into getting the Throw Ally and Knockback feats. The idea of being able to punch people clear out of the ring, or grab your partner and fling him into your opponent would be great fun.
