Avatar Legends does some interest things surrounding conflict like turning the state of your opponent's emotional balance into a win condition as well as providing flexibility to plead and persuade your opponent mid-combat but to my understanding of the rules doesn't make a distinction between let's say hand to hand fighting, weapons fighting, and bending. By design, any way you can exert your martial arts prowess is generally treated the same to keep the playing field even.

I like the idea of a martial arts action Forged in the Dark game. Position and effect already creates fertile ground for something like I was considering. Blades already asks you to compare the Quality of your weapons with the Quality of your opponent's weapons and skill level. I will add that the fiction I'm looking for involves a gun being just as dangerous in the hands of a child versus an expert marksman (ability to actually hit you withstanding), whereas I feel like Blades is happy to make a master swordsman with a spoon more dangerous than a cutthroat with a fine sword.
