New skill parkour?

Unread post by Thom001 »

Hello all, I was wondering, like the title suggests, if there is anywhere in palladium books the skill of parkour (freerunning)? If not any suggestions to use existing skills for parkour skill creation?

There is no official skill for such.

You will find here on the forums, and in other places, write-ups for Free Running and/or Parkour physical skills.

I think there was also a write up (if not on the forums than on some website I visited) of Parkour as a H2H combat style.

If you want to write your own, I would maybe suggest looking at the tumbling skill, others may have different opinions.

Thanks for answering the question. No official skill means I'll look more into how parkour trained people move and using the books and the forums improvise something.

The skill has been written up numerous times. You might look for it in the We Gots the Skills thread in the Heroes Unlimited section of the forum or in the Palladium Fantasy section. I have seen good writeups and also terrible ones. Happy hunting.

Thanks. I'll look specifically for those. Some of the threads I've read have been....odd.
