Line 27:
* [[Adventurer Archaeologist]]: The Two-Fisted Archaeologist from Seal of the Wheel, plus a number of fan archetypes on the web.
* [[Aliens Speaking English]]: Just like in Hong Kong movies, everyone in the Feng Shui setting speaks Cantonese, translated into English for your games.
* [[Almost-Lethal Weapons]]: Named characters, heroes and villains alike, never die with one shot.
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: The genre of this game is Hong Kong made action flicks, where sometimes heroes (read PCs) ''do'' die.
* [[The Archer]]: The Archer from Thorns of the Lotus (basically a Killer with a bow) and the Guiding Hand Archer from Blood of the Valiant (an archer who can use fu powers through his bow).
Line 42:
** First, the [[Death Ray|Helix Ripper]], an Arcanogun which fires a beam that melts flesh. The beam also passes through in-organic matter without losing coherency, and the damage caused by it cannot be conventionally healed.
** The Buro also has the Hellharrower, a giant automatic machine gun which is usually either vehicle-mounted or issued to abominations, as it cannot be used unmounted without a Strength of 11 or above.
** The [[Gatling Good|Chaingun]] hardware schtick.
* [[BFS]]: The [[Chainsaw Good|Chainsword]] hardware schtick. At Str+7, it has the highest damage rating of all melee weapons in the game.
* [[Bomb-Throwing Anarchists]]: The Jammers.
Line 95:
* [[Magitek]]: Arcanowave technology.
* [[Maniac Monkeys]]: The Jammers (including their leader, Battlechimp Potemkin, plus many other notables such as Furious George and the Orangotank)
* [[Mook Promotion]]: If [[Mooks]] hired through the Criminal Mastermind's Mook Magnet schtick survive three fights in a row, [[Took a Level
* [[Mooks]]: Feng Shui was one of the first games to institute mook rules.
* [[More Dakka]]: Automatic weapons in general, the Who Wants Some gun schtick, and the Minigun hardware schtick in particular.
Line 111:
* [[Rare Guns]]: Several of the guns on the gun list, including the Smith and Wesson 3566 (which is a custom-shop gun which fires the .356 cartridge).
* [[Reincarnation Romance]]: It's not unknown for innerwalkers to fall in love with past or future incarnations of love interests, or vice versa.
* [[Resurrective Immortality]]: The Inevitable Comeback creature power allows a supernatural creature to resurrect after being killed.
* [[Revolvers Are Just Better]]: Subverted for the most part due to limited ammo and reloading time.
* [[Right Man in the Wrong Place]]: The Everyman Hero archetype in a goddamn nutshell.
Line 118:
** Actually codified into the game, with the stunt system. Describing your action is a cool way and adding interesting details actually gives bonuses. Repeating the same thing over and over again, however, is usually not cool, and can even get penalties. Except when it is cool.
** In most official ''Feng Shui'' adventures, each described location has a section labelled "Cool Things That Could Happen", which are usually action movie tropes of one kind or another.
* [[
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: If something doesn't go kaboom at some point during a ''game session'', never mind a campaign, you're doing things wrong. The Jammers in particular thrive on this kind of thing.
* [[Smug Snake]]: Draco, Curtis Boatman.
Line 129:
* [[Touch of Death]]: Ming I, Queen of the Darkness Pagoda, has the Arm of Darkness. If this hits you, it doesn't deal any damage, it just forces you to make a death check that you do not want to fail.
* [[Trans Nature]]: The original purpose behind the Ascended conspiracy was to make sure that Transformed Animals would never become regular animals again.
* [[Turned Against Their Masters]]:
** The Abomination archetype, but a ''good'' thing in this case.
** Also the Battlechimp Potemkin, leader of the Jammers.
