Weapons of the Gods
A wuxia martial arts RPG¸ based on the comic book series by Tony Wong. This is set in China in a fictional mythic age¸ with extensive background on the history and culture. It uses a dice pool system where you roll as many d10s as your skill rating (0 to 5) and look for matches¸ where each matching die adds +10 to the number shown. So rolling two 7s would be 27¸ and three 4s would be 34. There are 25 general skills grouped into 5 attributes: Might¸ Speed¸ Presence¸ Genius and Wu Wei (or ""harmony with the world""). The game includes a system for chi powers and secret arts. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H.
