#1 zombiegleemax Aug 07, 2005 21:28:57	I put my original first post in quotes. I'm going to use the top of the post here for the listing of all accepted manuevers and any changes to the current Rules Cyclopedia D&D Mystic. ----------------------------------------------------- Mystic Prime Requisite: Strength and Dexterity. Other Requirements: Wisdom and Dexterity scores of 13 or more. Experience Bonus: 5% for Strength 13-15, 10% for Strength 16-18. Hit Dice: 1d6 per level up to 9th level.

He may also (if the DM allows) use these to Master weapons as well, but this should be limited. Maneuver Points: This is the amount of points per level a mystic will have to "purchase" new maneuvers. He must find a trainer for the move he wishes to learn as well as use the number of points required. Chi Points Gained: This is the number Chi points (Inner Chi Power) that a mystic gains for each level. These points are spent when a mystic uses a special maneuver, and can be recovered by one hour of meditation as well as 6 straight hours of sleep either before or after meditation. Level: AC / Damage / Skill Pts / Maneuver Pts / Chi Pts Gained 1) 9 / 1d4 / 5* / 2 / 1+wisdom bonus 2) 9 / 1d4 / +2 / +1 / 1+wisdom bonus 1 3) 9 / 1d4+1/ +2 / +1 / 1+wisdom bonus 4) 9 / 1d4+1/ +2 / +1 / 1+wisdom bonus 5) 8 / 1d6 / +1 / +1 / 1+wisdom bonus 6) 8 / 1d6 / +1 / +2 / 1+wisdom bonus 7) 7 / 1d6+1 / +1 / +2 / 1+wisdom bonus 8) 7 / 1d6+1 / +1 / +2 / 1+wisdom bonus 9) 6 / 1d8 / +1 / +2 / 1+wisdom bonus 10) 6 / 1d8 / +0 / +2 / 1 11) 6 / 1d8+1 / +1 / +2 / 1 12) 5 / 1d8+1 / +0 / +2 / 1 13) 5 / 1d10 / +1 / +2 / 1 14) 4 / 1d10 / +0 / +2 / 1 15) 4 / 1d10+1 / +1 / +2 / 1 16) 3 / 1d10+1 / +0 / +2 / 1 17) 3 / 1d12 / +1 / +2 / 1 18) 2 / 1d12 / +0 / +2 / 1 19) 2 / 1d12+1 / +1 / +2 / 1 20) 2 / 1d12+1 / +0 / +2 / 1 21) 1 / 2d8 / +1 / +2 / 1 22) 1 / 2d8 / +0 / +2 / 1 23) 0 / 2d8+1 / +1 / +2 / 1 24) 0 / 2d8+1 / +0 / +2 / 1 25) -1 / 2d10 / +1 / +3 / 1 26) -1 / 2d10 / +0 / +3 / 1 27) -2 / 2d10+1 / +1 / +3 / 1 28) -2 / 2d10+2 / +0 / +3 / 1 29) -2 / 4d6 / +1 / +3 / 1 30) -3 / 4d6+1 / +0 / +3 / 1 31) -3 / 5d6 / +1 / +3 / 1 32) -4 / 5d6+1 / +0 / +3 / 1 33) -4 / 4d8 / +1 / +3 / 1 34) -5 / 4d8+1 / +0 / +3 / 1 35) -5 / 3d12 / +1 / +3 / 1 36) -6 / 2d20 / +1 / +3 / 1 *The initial skill points a mystic starts with is placed depending on the style he chooses to begin with. ---------------------------------------------------------- Here are more detailed descriptions of the Hand to Hand Masteries I have been calling Weapon Skills. "Hand-to-Hand SKills" Punching (This skill can be used by any character class) The following bonuses only apply to punching attacks Unskilled: +0 damage Basic: +1 damage Skilled: +1 damage/+1 To-Hit Expert: +2 damage/+1 To-Hit Master: +2 damage/+2 To-Hit Grand Master: +3 damage/+3 To-Hit Kicking (This skill can be used by any character class) The following bonuses only apply to kicking attacks Unskilled: +0 damage Basic: +1 damage Skilled: +1 damage/+1 To-Hit Expert: +2 damage/+1 To-Hit Master: +2 damage/+2 To-Hit Grand Master: +3 damage/+3 To-Hit Blocking Unskilled: no absorption Basic: absorb 2 points of damage from 1 attack Skilled: absorb 4 points of damage from 2 attacks Expert: absorb 6 points of damage from 3 attacks Master: absorb 8 points of damage from 4 attacks Grand Master: absorb 10 points of damage from 5 attacks Grappling The following bonuses only apply to grappling attacks Unskilled: cannot sustain holds past one round Basic: +1 damage / Sustained Holds last for 2 rounds Skilled: +1 damage / +1 To-Hit / Sustained Holds last for 3 rounds Expert: +2 damage / +1 To-Hit / Sustained Holds last for 5 rounds Master: +2 damage / +2 To-Hit / Sustained Holds last for 7 rounds Grand Master: +3 damage / +3 To-Hit / Sustained Holds last for 10 rounds Athletics The following bonuses only apply to athletic attacks Unskilled: +0 damage / 120'(40') movement Basic: +1 damage / 135’(45’) movement Skilled: +1 damage / +1 To-Hit / 150’(50’) movement Expert: +2 damage / +1 To-Hit / 180’(60’) movement Master: +2 damage / +2 To-Hit / 225’(75’) movement Grand Master: +3 damage / +3 To-Hit / 300’(100’) movement Focus The following bonuses only apply to focus attacks Unskilled: 0 damage Basic: 1d8 damage base Skilled: 1d10 damage base / +1 To-Hit Expert: 1d12 damage base / +1 To-Hit Master: 1d20 damage base / +2 To-Hit Grand Master: 1d30 damage base / +3 To-Hit A Mystic will use his own Mystic Damage table to determine damage based on experience level. These skills will open new doors for Mystics to learn the powerful special moves. The only change in the Mystic arts that's included in the Rules Cyclpedia is the # of attacks. Leave it at just 1 per turn regardless of the mystic's current level. The reason is that with this new setup, nearly any attack from a Mystic could be deadly and some of the special moves I'll be going over have huge damage bonuses and they could allow a 16 level Mystic to do up to 120 points of damage in one turn to each of 3 opponents at the same time (Which totals out to 360!) That is frighteningly powerful considering the maximum damage a 16 level Mystic could do normally is 156 (All totals include the Strength bonuses). Of course that particular skill would only be learned by a very high level Mystic and would be difficult even then to really master, possibely the Mystic would have to use the optional rules at the back of the Rules Cyclopedia to ever gain enough experience and development points to be able to attain this manuever. I'll explain that aspect of my idea after the Moves have been converted and the final selection of moves to add to the Rule Cyclopedia D&D Mystic (or other styles) are completed. The basic moves by a Mystic would be: Punch A standard attack using the normal to-hit roll and damage for a mystic's current level. Kick Like punch in every way, except can still be used if the mystics hands are tied up, or he is dangling from a tree or something else and is unable to use his hands. Block This manuever allows the Mystic to absorb the number of points of damage equal to double his level in the Blocking skill. The Mystic is not required to have his hands free to perform this manuever either, but his legs must be free. For example, a goblin swings a sword and lands a hit on a Mystic who is blocking. The mystic has a level 3 blocking skill. The goblin does 4 points of damage and the Mystic has the ability to absorb 6 points and does so. This skill can also allow the Mystic to use the absorb ability for an equal number of attacks to the Blocking skill level. These are the 3 basic moves learned by a Mystic at level 1. After that they will recieve development points which will have to be put together after the manuevers are selected, converted and established in some form of organization, like maybe set up as a spell list or just listed. I'd like to do different lists of special moves for each style. That may get too complicated though and the look of the manuevers might just have to show the style instead of the actual moves. Each special move would have a point cost of some kind (I was thinking of Chi) that would limit the number of times a Mystic could use the powerful stuff until resting. Soon I will list the special maneuvers here and link each name to the post it is contained in. This will make it easier to sort them out as I go and for you guys who are keeping track to find what your looking for.

Each name is a link. Each style has a short description, the list for the starting skill points and a list of special moves that have adjusted costs for that style only. Aikido Atruaghin Wrestling Boxing Capoeira Djin Kickboxing Fire Mondu Guild Wrestling Kabaddi Karate Kung Fu Legionnaire Training Majestic Wing Chung Milino Wrestling Mondu Muay Drit Ninjitsu Red Ninjistu Sanbo Savage Boxing Savate Sis Razor Stone Boxing Sumo Wu Shu If I am missing any here that could be tossed in, please let me know. The more there are the better. Of course there will be dozens if all were listed, but this is a start. Some will just be very similiar to others and those will be combined and then explained in the style description the difference between the two different names. Mostly cultural. And yes, I made up a few of these. Any ideas on one that could be studied by the humanoids in the Broken Lands? Or the Lizardmen of the Malpheggi swamp? Dwarves, Halflings, Gnomes, Elves? original post wrote:
#2 Cthulhudrew Aug 07, 2005 22:45:30	Here are some martial arts styles that various people have developed, mostly utilizing the Weapon Mastery format. Not exactly what you are describing, but if nothing else, it may give you some ideas: Aikido Unarmed Combat Styles in D&D Weapon Mastery Charts for Martial Arts
#3 zombiegleemax Aug 08, 2005 17:36:33	Thanks for the links Cthulhudrew. I'll look through them while I try to convert the techniques and see if I can use them as well.
#4 zombiegleemax Aug 14, 2005 14:23:37	Thanks again for the links there Cthulhudrew. After reading them they gave me some ideas about styles and so on. The Street Fighter settup is based on style instead of class. I think this is good. I think that only certain moves that can be learned by specific styles should be limited to users or teachers of that style. Like Aikido is in that link. Funny, I never thought of relating that style to the ocean, but it makes sense. Always been a boxer myself so there will be that form of non-armed combat thrown in. I'm going to start with some basics first. Those links were useful, but far simpler than what I had in mind. First off I want to break down the skills for Mystics or other unarmed combatants. They could be done the same as in the Aikido link which is the inspriation for this part. "Weapon SKills" Punching Kicking Grappling Athletics Blocking Focus (I'd like to find another name for this option). Each of these "Weapon Skills" will have 5 levels like other weapon skills. Basic Skilled Expert Master Grand Master Unlike in the Aikido link there, a Mystic will use his own Mystic Damage table to determine damage. What these skills will actually do is open new doors for Mystics to learn the powerful special moves that I'll be going over in a later post. I thought of making each level increase damage, but that would make them too powerful. If you guys have any ideas to be able to further use these weapon skills aside from anything I've mentioned then please comment or suggest. The only change in the Mystic arts that's included in the Rule Cyclpedia is the # of attacks. Leave it at just 1 per turn regardless of the mystic's current level. The reason is that with this new setup, nearly any attack from a Mystic could be deadly and some of the special moves I'll be going over have huge damage bonuses and they could allow a 16 level Mystic to do up to 111 points of damage in one turn to each of 3 opponents at the same time (Which totals out to 333!) That is frighteningly powerful. Of course that particular skill would only be learned by a very high level Mystic and would be difficult even then to really master, possibely the Mystic would have to use the optional rules at the back of the RUles Cyclopedia to ever gain enough experience and development points to be able to attain this manuever. I'll explain that aspect of my idea after the Moves have been converted and the final selection of moves to add to the OD&D Mystic (or other styles) are completed. The basic moves by a Mystic would be: Punch A standard attack using the normal to-hit roll and damage for a mystic's current level. Kick Like punch in every way, except can still be used if the mystics hands are tied up, or he is dangling from a tree or something else and is unable to use his hands. Block This manuever allows the Mystic to absorb the number of points of damage equal to double his level in the Blocking skill. The Mystic is not required to have his hands free to perform this manuever either, but his legs must be free. For example, a goblin swings a sword and lands a hit on a Mystic who is blocking. The mystic has a level 3 blocking skill. The goblin does 4 points of damage and the Mystic has the ability to absorb 6 points and does so. This skill can also allow the Mystic to use the absorb ability for an equal number of attacks to the Blocking skill level. These are the 3 basic moves learned by a Mystic at level 1.

Each special move would have a point cost of some kind (I was thinking of Chi) that would limit the number of times a Mystic could use the powerful stuff until resting. This is the beginning, how do you guys like it so far. And if you see anything that needs fixing, please post it.
#5 zombiegleemax Aug 15, 2005 15:11:50	Well, I hope the lack of response is that my ideas are good so far. Later today I'll post a small number of special moves to give you a basic idea of what the moves will be like. The ones I'm doing first are some of the weaker moves, but for a low level Mystic they could really make a differnce.
#6 zombiegleemax Aug 15, 2005 18:58:42	Here's the Special Moves. If you see any problems with the stats or information let me know. If you have any questions let me know. If these all sound fine or you don't like some of the moves...let me know. I believe when I finish this, I may start a thread on Martial Arts, boxing and Wrestling tournaments held in various nations as well as a possible Known World Championship Tournament! :fight!:
#7 zombiegleemax Aug 15, 2005 19:43:27	Name: Air Hurricane Kick Prerequisites: Kick 4, Athletics 3, Jump, Hurricane Kick Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: –1 (1 min) Round Movement: +5’ Description: Only after they had begun testing themselves in tournament combat did Mystics fully embrace the spirit of the Hurricane, allowing them to fly on the winds of fury as they deliver their Hurricane Kick. System: This move works just like the standard Hurricane Kick (see the Hurricane Kick description), except that the fighter has trained himself to execute the move while airborne. This allows the fighter to jump and then execute the Hurricane Kick from the high point of his jump to descend on his opponents in a blaze of spinning feet.
#8 zombiegleemax Aug 15, 2005 21:52:45	Name: Air Lightning Leg Prerequisites: Kick 5, Athletics 3, Lightning Leg, Jump Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: +0’ Description: This is a variant of the infamous Lightning Leg that can be performed while in the air. System: This is considered an aerial maneuver, and must be performed while airborne. The attacker makes three attacks in the same manner as a normal Lightning Leg.
#9 zombiegleemax Aug 15, 2005 22:25:16	Name: Ax Kick Prerequisites: Kick 2, Jump Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: –10’ Description: One of the few airborne kicks favored by Savate fighters, this move is also popular with other styles. The attacker begins this attack by jumping into the air and stretching his leg high above his head. He then slams the leg down onto his target's head or shoulders, using his height and momentum to increase the force of the blow. Few fighters can withstand the ferocity of an Ax Kick. System: The fighter travels his allowed movement in the air using the -20' modifier and ends his attack in the same space as his target. Because this attack targets the head from above, crouched or prone opponents are struck. Jumping opponents are likewise struck and will suffer a knockdown.
#10 zombiegleemax Aug 16, 2005 19:13:51	Name: Baby Scorpion Kick Prerequisites: Kick 2, Athletics 1 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +2 Damage Bonus: –4 (1 min) Round Movement: 5’ Description: This is a discouraging technique used on opponents coming from behind. The fighter leans forward, bringing up a heel in an upward kick. This can be used on any point of the body, but is usually targeted on the groin. System: Used on the groin, this results in an stun for a male victim for 1d4 rounds. A successful Save Throw vs. Paralysis will half the time stunned. Use the modifiers above.
#11 zombiegleemax Aug 18, 2005 22:15:04	Name: Backflip Kick Prerequisites: Kick 2, Athletics 2, Backflip Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: 10’ backward Description: This move combines acrobatics and a powerful kick into a special move that can rattle an opponent and simultaneously tumble the attacker to safety. System: The fighter waits for an opponent to close, and then interrupts with a sudden backflip (Capoeira teaches a back hand spring), kicking the would-be attacker as the fighter's feet sweep up and through in the back flip. The fighter flips away, landing 10' straight back from the opponent and thus preventing the opponent from striking back.
#12 zombiegleemax Aug 18, 2005 22:27:12	Somebody let me know if there is any interest at all in this idea. Even just a yeah I'm curious to see what you come up with post will suffice. Otherwise I feel silly posting here by myself. Of course...I will anyway. :P
#13 Hugin Aug 18, 2005 23:56:32	Don't worry, I've been glancing it over with interest.
#14 zombiegleemax Aug 20, 2005 3:28:33	Thanks Hugin. Just realized the whole movement thing is bad. Normally characters move 40' in a combat round. That's 8 spaces if playing on grid paper and each space is 5'. So I'm cutting all the movements in half for the moves. I'll fix all the posted moves and make sure to use this system with all future postings of moves.
#15 zombiegleemax Aug 20, 2005 12:04:49	Name: Bicycle Kick Prerequisites: Kick 4, Athletics 4 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: +20’ Description: The fighter jumps and flies at his opponent in a series of kicks that happen in a bicycle-like motion. System: A bicycle kick must travel in a straight line in any direction. When an opponent is encountered, the fighter does not stop but pushes his opponent back one 5' space. For each space an opponent is pushed back, the opponent suffers one attack using the modifiers above. The fighter may end his turn in any space he likes along his line of travel or he runs out of movement.
#16 zombiegleemax Aug 20, 2005 12:22:21	Name: Butterfly Kick Prerequisites: Kick 2, Butterfly Cartwheel Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +2 Damage Bonus: -2 Round Movement: +0’ Description: This is an aerial cartwheel kick performed without hands. Using sheer strength and a twist of the torso, the fighter launches himself in a direction away from an opponent swings his legs for two kicks aimed at any opponents he jumps by. System: Fighter makes to kicking attacks during the cartwheel using the modifiers above.
#17 zombiegleemax Aug 21, 2005 14:08:12	Name: Cartwheel Kick Prerequisites: Kick 2, Athletics 2 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +1 (per 5’) Round Movement: +20’ Description: The fighter flips into an acrobatic cartwheel, smashing his feet and fists into his opponent over and over again. The amount of ground covered is truly amazing. This move is also used to put distance between a fighter and an opponent who is pressing him too hard. System: A Cartwheel Kick must travel in a straight line in any one direction. When an opponent is encountered, the fighter does not stop but pushes his opponent back. For each 5' an opponent is pushed back, the opponent suffers one attack using the modifiers above. The fighter may end his round anywhere he likes along his line of travel. Cartwheel Kicks must travel in a straight line.
#18 Cthulhudrew Aug 21, 2005 18:59:40	I'm curious- how does the Chi system work? Number of Chi points gained/level, etc. I assume you'll post this info with the Mystic damage table you mention, but I'm just kind of curious, as I'm trying to see how well some of these things balance out in comparison to each other (via costs, prerequisites, etc.)
#19 zombiegleemax Aug 22, 2005 6:26:15	The Chi will be similiar to something I used to do for magicians using Magic or Divine power before. I am not a big fan of memorizing spells. I always allowed my players to use a point system. I haven't set up the details yet on Chi. For spell users before in the CD&D campaigns, I alloed the players to gain a Magic point for every level of spells+Intelligence or Wisdom bonus, per level of experience gained. So if a magician gained a level and got a 3rd, 4th and 8th level spell, he would add 15 Magic points to his current total. And the add his Intellignece bonus to it. This made magic-users more powerful, but my players enjoyed it and they were still killed sometimes. I want to do something along this line, but not giving as many points. I'll do a chart along with the damage table. The Mystic damage table is the same as the one in the Rules Cyclopedia. I guess for those using 3E only, you might not have that.
#20 zombiegleemax Aug 23, 2005 18:41:30	Name: Crack Shot Prerequisites: Kick 3, Athletics 2 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: 10’ Description: The fighter spins forward to the ground but lashes out with a foot on his way down, catching his opponent in the head. System: If the Crack Shot is successful, the opponent is automatically knocked down and the fighter automatically rolls to his feet. If unsuccessful, then the fighter suffers a knockdown.

The fighter leaps into the opponent, allowing his knee to smack the victim's stomach and continue into the opponent's chin. System: Roll two for using the modifiers above when using this move.
#24 zombiegleemax Aug 25, 2005 20:28:48	Name: Double Kick Prerequisites: Double Hit-Kick, Jump Maneuver Cost: 1 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: –10’ Description: Double Kick allows two normal kicks which could be delivered on one or two enemies. System: Both legs deliver a snapping Kick (two attack rolls). The maneuver is aerial because the fighter must jump to kick.

I found a bunch of new moves and I'm going try to convert them as well. After I do the grab moves, I'm going to go back to doing punch, kick, block, and grab moves before going on to athletic and focus.
#26 zombiegleemax Aug 27, 2005 17:36:09	Name: Dragon Kick Prerequisites: Kick 5, Focus 4, Jump Maneuver Cost: 7 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +6 Round Movement: –10’ Description: The ancient art of Dragon Kung Fu is the only system that has preserved knowledge of this mystical technique. The fighter taps the spirit of the celestial dragons, rising into the air in a twirling kick while his focused Chi spurts fire from his leg. The kick is beautiful and deadly. System: The Dragon Kick works identically to the Flaming Dragon Punch.
#27 zombiegleemax Aug 27, 2005 17:39:01	Name: Falling Ax Kick Prerequisites: Ax Kick, Athletics 2 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +6 Round Movement: +5’ Description: A fighter leaps into the air, flipping forward and adding his momentum to a powerful kick. System: Use the modifiers above.
#28 zombiegleemax Aug 27, 2005 20:25:23	Name: Flash Kick Prerequisites: Kick 3, Athletics 2, Focus 2 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +7 Round Movement: None Description: A fighter who has mastered this move crouches down before springing into an aerial back flip. As his body flips over, his foot sweeps a deadly arc in front of him. Energy trails after the kicking foot, adding sizzle to the kick. Fighters throw arcs of flame or electricity behind their kicking feet. The Flash Kick is a tough move to learn. It requires a combination of athletics to execute the back flip, Chi focusing to release the energy, and kicking talent to plant the foot under an opponent's jaw. System: Use the modifiers above. The Flash Kick will also inflict a knockdown against opponents who were in the air.
#29 zombiegleemax Aug 27, 2005 22:45:23	Name: Flurry Kick Prerequisites: Kick 4, Athletics 4 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: –2 (1 min) Round Movement: +2 Description: The fighter launches himself forward at the opponent, and lashes out with three fast snap kicks using the same leg by not withdrawing after each kick.

The fighter launches into a quick broad jump and flies into the opponent, driving a knee right into him. System: Use the modifiers above.
#31 zombiegleemax Aug 27, 2005 23:51:44	Name: Flying Thrust Kick Prerequisites: Kick 4, Athletics 4, Jump Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +6 Round Movement: –10’ Description: This move requires strong legs! The fighter thrust-kicks into the air so hard he actually lifts off the ground and rockets into the air heel-first with his body inverted. In order to perfect the move, the fighter has to develop the leg flexibility to do a full split and must have superhuman leg muscle conditioning. One-legged squats are popular training exercises among fighters who wish to develop the strength to do a proper Thrust Kick. System: The Thrust Kick works just like a Dragon Punch. It can knock down aerial opponents and be used to jump over short walls.
#32 zombiegleemax Aug 28, 2005 0:07:47	Name: Foot Sweep Prerequisites: Kick 2 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: –20’ Description: This low, powerful kick is intended to knock an opponent off his feet and send him crashing to the ground.

#33 zombiegleemax Aug 29, 2005 19:31:43	Name: Forward Backflip Kick Prerequisites: Kick 3, Athletics 3, Backflip Kick, Jump Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +2 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: 10’ Description: With this move a Fighter jumps up and toward his opponent, and executes a backflip in the air and kicks. This maneuver is especially effective against airborne opponents. System: If an opponent is aerial, he is knocked down and suffers two attacks as the kick strikes twice. If the opponent is not in the air, then only one attack is rolled.
#34 zombiegleemax Aug 30, 2005 17:51:52	Name: Forward Flip Knee Prerequisites: Kick 2, Athletics 2 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: 10’ Description: This move is very similar to the Back flip Kick, except the fighter actually launches into a forward flip over the head of an opponent. As he drops out of the forward flip, the fighter uses his body weight to drive his knee into the opponent's back. System: The fighter must attack someone standing in an adjacent hex. The fighter jumps 5'-10' forward to land in a space on the far side of his opponent. As the fighter lands, he rolls for the attack. The opponent cannot execute his attack on the fighter, who has now flipped behind him.
#35 zombiegleemax Aug 30, 2005 19:24:20	Name: Forward Slide Kick Prerequisites: Kick 2, Athletics 2 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: +0’ Description: This maneuver is a very similar to the regular Slide Kick, except that the fighter remains upright as he slides forward to quickly take an opponent off his feet. The fighter remains in a standing position and, in one swift slide, covers several feet, taking his opponent's legs right out from under him in the process. System: The Forward Slide Kick causes a knockdown if any damage is done.
#36 zombiegleemax Aug 30, 2005 21:24:42	Ok some basics about the Mystic that I'm planning so far. Mystic Prime Requisite: Strength and Dexterity. Other Requirements: Wisdom and Dexterity scores of 13 or more. Experience Bonus: 5% for Strength 13-15, 10% for Strength 16-18. Hit Dice: 1d6 per level up to 9th level. Starting with 10th level, +2 hit points per level, and Constitution adjustments no longer apply. Maximum Level: 36. Armor: None, Shield not permitted. Weapons: Any. Special Abilities: AC bonuses, increased movement, and martial arts. (at 9th level) Set Spear vs. Charge, Thief Abilities.

Mystic Unarmed Attack Equivalents Table: Level: Weapon Equivalent 3: Silver Weapon 6: +1 Weapon 9: +2 Weapon 12: +3 Weapon 16: +4 Weapon 20: +5 Weapon These attacks don’t gain the attack or damage bonuses of their magic-weapon equivalents, but can hit creatures as if the indicated weapon were used. For example, a 6th level mystic can hit and hurt a gargoyle when fighting barehanded. So far this is just what I've done. Nothing too drastic, but there is still much more to do. I'll see about finishing up this part and then getting back to the new moves I'm still working on also.
#37 Hugin Aug 30, 2005 22:46:47	Have you been able to figure out exactly how the Chi cost works yet, or is it still uncertain? That's an impressive number of moves. Have you thought about the possibility of making the Mystic acrobatics into 'moves' with a Chi cost? It's just something that popped into my head that you might want to have a look at.
#38 zombiegleemax Sep 02, 2005 15:59:19	Yes. In a way I have, A lot of the mystic abilities form the RC are going to be incoporated into Focus and Acrobatic moves. So far I think I might be halfway done with the moves. I haven't been counting. I just looked to see what row the moves are on in my spreadsheet I'm using to keep them organized till they are ready. I'm still working out the Chi system, but I have a throw together idea for now that I'll post a few minutes. Along with some other things like modified thief abilites and mystic damage/AC, ets. I'm still working the kinks out of the whole Hand-to-Hand SKill Masteries, Learning Moves, and the Chi development. I want it to be level based, and I think that Wisdom bonuses should apply up to level 9. What I'm trying to figure out is wether mystics should gain more Chi points early on or later. For now I have every level getting 1 Chi + the Wisdom bonus per level. I'm still trying to brainstorm Chi. I'm also going to modify those HtH masteries tonight. I added more movement to the Athletics mastery. The acrobatics skill will sort of be replaced by the athletics moves. Some are simple like Jump and Lightfeet which will allow Mystics to do similiar things that they would have done with Acrobatics, but will break it down a bit more. This also brings in some possibilities like Wall Springs and some rather aerial attacks that would require things like Jump to allow a Mystic to jump kick a harpy flying 10' off the ground. I was thinking of setting up styles for mystics to master and they can learn moves in their own style. At a slight extra cost, they can learn moves from other styles by using the concepts of Jeet Kune Do, which is less a style and more a concept of adapting anything that works for you best into your own style. Of course I'm thinking that Jeet Kune Do will have a cost to understand as well that will force a low level mystic to get some experience in his own style before venturing out and mixing it up a bit.

#40 zombiegleemax Sep 03, 2005 7:44:55	Name: Forward Somersault Kick Prerequisites: Kick 2, Athletics 2 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: +10’ Description: A fighter runs forward, throws himself into a somersault and then pushes off with his hands, using his momentum to deliver a kick with both feet. System: Use the modifiers above.
#41 zombiegleemax Sep 03, 2005 7:45:50	Name: Great Wall of China Prerequisites: Kick 5, Lightning Leg Maneuver Cost: 7 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: None Description: No one in the world is known to possess this awesome power. It is widely held that its existence is only superstitious nonsense. After all, no one alive could possess the kind of kicking ability necessary to execute this maneuver. No one alive. System: When executing this maneuver, the fighter chooses three opponents side-by-side and adjacent to him. He then attacks these opponents with a superhuman flurry of kicks that to the naked eye appears like a solid wall of leg and foot. All three opponents are attacked three times at the damage listed above.
#42 zombiegleemax Sep 03, 2005 7:46:51	Name: Handstand Kick Prerequisites: Kick 2, Athletics 1 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: –10’ Description: The fighter bends over, puts his hands on the ground, and presses his legs up into a handstand.

#43 zombiegleemax Sep 03, 2005 7:48:04	Name: Heel Stamp Prerequisites: Kick 1, Athletics 1 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +2 Damage Bonus: –4 (1 min) Round Movement: +10’ Description: The Heel Stamp is designed to increase the distance between a Ninja and an enemy who is pressing the Ninja too hard. The Ninja raises his leg in front of him and lashes out, slamming his heel into the closing opponent's chest or blocking arms. The two warriors are propelled directly away from each other. System: The Ninja causes very little actual damage with a Heel Stamp; the maneuver is primarily used to gain breathing room or to set up a more offensive move for the next round (or to knock the opponent off a cliff, into a vat of sulfuric acid, etc.). The Ninja moves back one hex, while the target moves in the opposite direction. The target is moved a distance in feet equal to the (Ninja's Strength + Athletics Skill) minus the target's Strength.
#44 zombiegleemax Sep 03, 2005 7:50:24	Name: Hurricane Kick Prerequisites: Kick 4, Athletics 3 Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: –5’ Description: By embracing the raw power of the hurricane, the fighter lifts himself into the air and spins like a cyclone. As the fighter spins, his outstretched foot carves a deadly path through his opponents, mowing them down like wheat before a scythe. System: A character executing this move can move up to his full movement, but must travel in a straight line. Each time he enters a new 5' space, he attacks anyone occupying that new space or any of the spaces adjacent to it. The fighter must roll a separate attack for each person in range. After all attack rolls and damage are resolved, the attacker can move again. For each space moved, damage rolls and attacks are calculated again. This process continues until the character chooses to stop moving or uses up his movement. Opponents who block can continue to use their Block against each damage roll.
#45 zombiegleemax Sep 03, 2005 7:51:34	Name: Jaguar Tooth Prerequisites: Kick 4, Athletics 3, Wall Spring Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: +10’ Description: In this powerful maneuver the fighter springs off a wall and spears the opponent with his leg. System: To use this maneuver the character must first execute a Wall Spring. Opponents who are struck by a Jaguar Tooth and take damage will suffer a knockdown, unless they succeed in a Saving Throw vs. Paralysis.
#46 zombiegleemax Sep 03, 2005 7:53:34	Name: Knee Strike Prerequisites: Kick 2 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +2 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: None Description: In this somewhat vicious maneuver, the fighter stands close to his opponent and jumps up to knee him in the stomach, chest, or face, using the momentum of the jump to increase the damage. System: To use this maneuver the attacker must be in the same 5' space as the opponent. The victim of a Knee Strike will suffer a knockdown unless he succeeds in a Save Throw vs. Death Ray.
#47 zombiegleemax Sep 03, 2005 8:03:18	Here are some details about the new catagories I have for mystic abilities. Skill Points: These are the points used for a Mystic to use for increasing his Hand-to-Hand Masteries only. He may also (if the DM allows) use these to Master weapons as well, but this should be limited. Maneuver Points: This is the amount of points per level a mystic will have to "purchase" new maneuvers. He must find a trainer for the move he wishes to learn as well as use the number of points required. Chi Points Gained: This is the number Chi points (Inner Chi Power) that a mystic gains for each level. These points are spent when a mystic uses a special maneuver, and can be recovered by one hour of meditation as well as 6 straight hours of sleep either before or after meditation.

#55 zombiegleemax Sep 10, 2005 15:10:36	While I'm working on converting the Focus moves, has anyone got any suggestions or problems they can see with what is done so far? I'm open to suggestions and I know someone is looking at the posts here as the view number keeps jumping off an on.
#56 zombiegleemax Sep 14, 2005 18:24:57	Name: Silhouette Kick Prerequisites: Kick 4, Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 7 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +4 Damage Bonus: +0 Round Movement: +0 Description: Tapping into the arcane secrets of the shadows, a fighter lashes out with a kick as he glides swiftly and silently across the ground. System: Silhouette Kick can only be dodged with a -2 penalty. It passes through blocks, ignoring them completely.
#57 zombiegleemax Sep 14, 2005 18:26:50	Name: Slide Kick Prerequisites: Kick 2, Athletics 1 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: +5’ Description: Some fighters have developed sliding kicks designed to take an opponent's feet right out from under him. From a ready stance, the fighter drops to the ground, slides an amazing distance and kicks the victim's feet. System: In addition to regular damage, the victim of a successful Slide Kick will suffer a knockdown, unless he succeeds on a Saving Throw vs Death Ray.
#58 zombiegleemax Sep 14, 2005 18:29:36	Ok, here's an update on the new damage rolls for Focus maneuvers. I figured they shouldn't be determined by the Mystic's level and should be determined by the level of Focus instead. Focus Skill Update: Basic: 1d8 damage base Skilled: 1d10 damage base Expert: 1d12 damage base Master: 1d20 damage base Grand Master: 1d30 damage base
#59 zombiegleemax Sep 14, 2005 18:33:48	After looking at the 1st post and adding these stats, I was thinking maybe some Focus skills that can be learned with the 1st level of Focus. There aren't currently any. Should be easy, I'll work on those after I finish converting the rest. Some wimpy versions of current maneuvers should do the trick.
#60 zombiegleemax Sep 15, 2005 17:58:17	Name: Somersault Shell Prerequisites: Kick 3, Athletics 2, Focus 2 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +7 Round Movement: None Description: The Somersault Shell is basically a reversed flash kick; rather than flipping backwards, the fighter flips forwards. This works exactly the same as the Flash Kick, except that it's faster. System: Use the modifiers above. The Flash Kick will also inflict a knockdown against opponents who were in the air.
#61 zombiegleemax Sep 15, 2005 18:35:04	Here's a list of ideas for styles I've been thinking about. If any of you guys have any suggestions on where these could be learned please post them. Ninjitsu: A dishonorable style that is studied by assassins and considered illegal to train in many nations. Karate: An art studied by Rakasta on the Savage Coast. Kung Fu: A popular style used by mystics in Ochalea. Some mystics from Sind have also learned this art and returned to Sind with it. Any wishing to learn the art must find a master willing to teach them. This is not an easy task. Sanbo: A variation of the form of Thyatian wrestling. Mostly studied and practiced in Heldann and Norwald. Sumo: Not sure what to do with this style. Maybe something created by Pacydermions and taught to humans? Milino Wrestling: A style that focuses on grappling. This is very popular in Thyatis. The City States of Davania, mostly Kastelios, have their own version of this style, but it is virtually the same. Atruaghin Wrestling: A style of wrestling that also uses some punches and kicks. Wu Shu: An acrobatic style that is derived from gymnastics in Ochalea. Mondu: This style is mainly used by the people of Ulimwengu as sport. It is a form of kickboxing that uses the knees and elbows most of the time. Savage Boxing: This is a variation of Mondu that extends the arms and llegs more for better range. Many nations on the savage coast train this to soldiers who have potential to be great warriors. Aikido: This is a style practiced by Tortles on the Savage Coast regions. They are the only true masters of this art, but are willing ot teahc this art of defense to any who priove themselves to never become a threat to their people. Capoeira: This is the dancing style of Yavdlom. The Seers of Yavdlom have developed it into a popular style of combat and the Yavs teach it freely to any willing to learn. For a price. Savate: An art of kickboxing used in various places and developed in Darokin using kicks that lead with the toe. This art has special effects against other styles due to the unusual forms for kicking. Muay Drit: This is an art that is trained to some magicians who are also physically strong. It draws power from an unknown source that gives the mystic amazing mental powers along with martial arts. This style is extremely rare and usually only taught by the Master of ule and his highest clerics. Kabaddi: This is a form of martial arts, only found in Sind. It combines Kung Fu, Yoga and magic to make a powerful style. This is very rare style and nearly impossible to learn. Many who try can never master this style. Boxing: This is a very common form of combat that is practiced all around the Known World. It started in Thyatis as opening fights for the arenas, and eventually the people of the Isle of Dawn developed it into a gambling sport using bare fists. It has since spread across the known world and some nations have begun to have tournaments to find the best in the boxers in the world. Each style will have a set group of maneuvers it can learn at a cheaper rate of development points than what will be listed. This will make guide the player to choose moves that will define the style more to what it should be and make all the styles unique. If I am missing any here that could be tossed in, please let me know. The more there are the better. Of course there will be dozens if all were listed, but this is a start. Some will just be very similiar to others and those will be combined and then explained in the style description the difference between the two different names. Mostly cultural. And yes, I made up a few of these. Any ideas on one that could be studied by the humanoids in the Broken Lands? Or the Lizardmen of the Malpheggi swamp? Dwarves, Halflings, Gnomes, Elves?
#62 zombiegleemax Sep 17, 2005 10:00:17	Name: Spinning Foot Sweep Prerequisites: Kick 2, Athletics 1, Foot Sweep Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: None Description: This move is identical to a regular Foot Sweep, except that the fighter actually spins his body and his outstretched kicking leg a full 360 degrees around him, mowing down anyone standing near him. This move is sometimes called an iron broom, tiger's tail, or dragon's tail sweep by Kung Fu and Wu Shu stylists. System: The fighter rolls attacks against everyone adjacent to him. Any victim who is hit suffers a knockdown.
#63 zombiegleemax Sep 17, 2005 10:25:38	Name: Spinning Thrust Kick Prerequisites: Kick 2 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: -1 Description: The fighter spins and then thrust-kicks at the opponent, using the momentum from the spin to increase the power of the kick. Sometimes the fighter will hit his opponent with his heel as his foot whips around. The fighter can do this on purpose, but can only make one kick per use of this maneuver. System: Use the modifiers above.
#64 zombiegleemax Sep 17, 2005 10:47:12	Name: Spiral Kick Prerequisites: Kick 4, Athletics 2 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +3/+2/+1 Damage Bonus: –2/-3/-4 (1 min) Round Movement: +15’ Description: This attack is, quite simply, a triple spinning kick. Usually the first kick is a straight kick, followed by the fighter's kick with the opposite foot very quickly and then spinning to bring the other foot back out for a final third kick. Very quick kicks. System: Make three attacks with the modifiers above.
#65 zombiegleemax Sep 17, 2005 11:18:37	Name: Stepping Front Kick Prerequisites: Kick 4, Double-Hit Kick Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: +5’ Description: This kick requires some fancy footwork and powerful legs. The fighter takes a skipping step toward his opponent and unloads with a rising knee. This drives the opponent back, allowing the fighter's kneeing leg to extend into a forward snap kick. The opponent is thus struck twice. System: The fighter must move into the his opponent, then roll one attack for the knee. The force of the knee will knock the opponent back 2 1/2'. The fighter can then roll for the second attack as the snap kick connects. If the fighter does not have enough movement to reach his opponent's space, he can still hit with the front snap kick if he can reach a space adjacent to his opponent.
#66 zombiegleemax Sep 17, 2005 11:44:50	Name: Thunder Kick Prerequisites: Kick 5, Flying Thrust Kick, Back Flip Kick Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +6/+2 Round Movement: 10’/-10’ Description: The ultimate answer for Dragon Kick. The maneuver starts exactly like the Flying Thrust Kick. But after the kick caused damage the fighter stamps his other leg into the stomach of his victim and bounces back. System: The second Kick delivers an extra damage roll (+2) automatically if the first hit is successful. The Fighter lands 10' away from his opponent.
#67 zombiegleemax Sep 17, 2005 12:07:40	Name: Tiger Knee Prerequisites: Kick 3, Athletics 2, Jump Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: +3 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: +0’ Description: The fighter begins by crouching down, like a tiger preparing to pounce on its prey, and then springing forward and up, driving knee-first into an opponent. The Tiger Knee is insanely quick and hits hard. System: The Tiger Knee will cause a knockdown and can also hit an opponent caught in the middle of the air. The only way to avoid the knockdown is to make a successful dexterity roll.
#68 zombiegleemax Sep 17, 2005 12:38:34	Name: Whirlwind Kick Prerequisites: Kick 4, Athletics 4 Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: –5’ Description: Few fighters have mastered the Whirlwind Kick. The move requires superhuman athleticism and kicking skill. The fighter begins by kicking into a handstand and then launching himself into a spinning tornado of striking feet. The fighter appears almost to fly (upside down, no less!) across the ground and into the midst of his opponents. System: The Whirlwind Kick works just like the Hurricane Kick, but its modifiers are different, making it a slower but harder-hitting maneuver.
#69 zombiegleemax Sep 17, 2005 12:50:36	Name: Wounded Knee Prerequisites: Kick 3 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: –5’ Description: Atruaghin Wrestling shares this maneuver with western kickboxing (from the Savage Baronies). The Wounded Knee kick involves the fighter executing a low, powerful kick that drives his shin into the outside of his opponent's thigh. This kick hits the femoral nerve, which runs down the outside of the leg, and weakens the opponent's leg, making it hard for him to move or kick. System: In addition to normal damage, the Wounded Knee attack causes its victim to suffer penalties of -2 to all maneuvers for the next two rounds. This includes attacks, saving throws or skill roles.
#70 zombiegleemax Sep 17, 2005 13:43:22	Name: Deflecting Kick Prerequisites: Block 3, Kick 1, Kick Defense Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: None Description: This countermove works just like the Deflecting Punch. The defender blocks with his thigh than delivers a snapping kick into the abdomen of his opponent. System: The Deflecting Kick uses the same rules as the Deflecting Punch. The Damage is calculated with Kick technique.
#71 zombiegleemax Sep 18, 2005 8:35:39	Name: Deflecting Punch Prerequisites: Block 3, Punch 1, Punch Defense Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +2 Damage Bonus: +0 Round Movement: None Description: Wing Chun Kung Fu is famous for quick counter punches that deflect an opponent's punch at the same time the fighter is himself attacking. When the martial artist sees his opponent punching, he counters with his own punch, deflecting his opponent's punch with his arm as his fist continues on to strike his opponent. System: The opponent rolls damage for his punch unless he misses. The fighter gets his full Block absorption against the opponent's damage. The blocking portion of this move is only useful against a punch. If the fighter's opponent uses any other attack, the fighter gets no blocking absorption (although he can still land his counterpunch). Once the opponent has dealt damage or misses, the fighter immediately gets to land his counterpunch unless he was knocked back or knocked down by his opponent's maneuver.
#72 zombiegleemax Sep 18, 2005 8:47:08	Name: Energy Reflection Prerequisites: Block 4, Focus 4, Missile Reflection Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: None Description: Once a fighter has mastered the art of catching and returning physical objects, he can begin to use the same physical coordination to catch and reflect energy or magic attacks. This phenomenal maneuver also requires the fighter to have a high degree of control over his own Chi. He must instantly summon the correct energy into his hands to "catch" energy projected at him and reflect it away. System: This maneuver is similar to Missile Reflection, except that the fighter can reflect any kind of energy projectile, such as a magic missile, fireball or lightning bolt. The fighter must spend one point of his own Chi for each energy projectile reflected and must succeed on a Wisdom roll to gauge and reflect the energy pattern of the projectile. If the projectile is redirected at another victim, it will inflict the same amount of damage it would have inflicted upon the fighter who reflected it.
#73 zombiegleemax Sep 18, 2005 9:17:37	Name: Kick Defense Prerequisites: Block 2 Maneuver Cost: 1 Any Style Usage Cost: None To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: A fighter who can guess his opponent's next move always has a distinct advantage! Kick Defense incorporates many movements that help defend the fighter against an opponent's foot and knee attacks. System: This operates with a standard Block Move, except that the fighter can absorb +4 points against kicks (including large creature kicks). This is a passive modifier and is added to the fighter's normal Blocking skill.
#74 thorf Sep 19, 2005 6:56:05	Aikedo: This is a style practiced by Tortles on the Savage Coast regions. They are the only true masters of this art, but are willing ot teahc this art of defense to any who priove themselves to never become a threat to their people. Shouldn't this be Aikido? Wow, this thread is pretty amazing! You seem to have done a great deal of research on all these fighting styles. Are you into martial arts yourself, or what?
#75 zombiegleemax Sep 20, 2005 6:27:30	Actually I used to be a boxer right after High School. I was going to go pro, and my trainer thought I could actually get a title shot before I was 24. Instead I met the perfect woman and she didn't want me to box. So I dropped out of it and got a desk job. I'm into martial arts, but never truly took any classes. Mostly what I see in Kung Fu movies and I read alot about different styles. So you could say martial arts is a side hobby. I collect knowledge about the Arts like I collect my knives and swords. :D P.S.- I've read everything I couild about Bruce Lee, he is one of my heroes. Aikido, yes that's right.
#76 zombiegleemax Dec 04, 2005 21:20:26	Ok, I haven't worked on this in quite a while. I'm just bumping this back up a bit so I can find it. I'll be getting into this thing again very soon. EDIT: There are going to be several posts following that will have moves that are already posted. I'm reposting them with added information such as maneuver point cost and a table of contents in the first post that will take you to a single post of the maneuver.
#77 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 20:17:22	Name: Art of Breaking Prerequisites: Punch 3, Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -3 Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: Tamashiwara, or the "Art of Breaking", can more or less be described as practice in board breaking. A character with this maneuver will have learned how to use nearly any part of their body to break wood, ice, glass, and stone, by breaking the Chi of the object. System: This power can be used on nearly any non-living object. Make a To-Hit roll against any moving targets, otherwise if the object is inanimate then the attack automatically hits. Roll 1d10 after striking and add the level of the Punch skill to the roll. Each type of material has a difficulty rating that must be met to succeed in breaking the object. Some difficulty ratings are here for the DM's use, but the Dm may decide what ratings to use for objects in his campaign. Examples of difficulties: Ice: 4, Wood: 5, Stone/Brick: 7, Metal: 8, Hardened Metal (Steel): 9. You cannot use Art of Breaking on living things. If the roll is successful, the item shatters. This can be used to break down doors and split shields on opponents arms.
#78 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 20:24:49	Name: Banishing Punch Prerequisites: Punch 4, Athletics 3, Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: –5’ Description: Heldann wrestlers, never to be left behind, developed this maneuver to deal with opponents' projectile attacks; the fancy fireballs, lightning bolts, and so on of opponents had always been a problem for them, so they improved their mental control a little bit, and was able to develop a glowing punch that could obliterate incoming projectiles. Since then, they have taught this to other Heldann fighters. System: In combat, the fighter throws a punch at the incoming projectile, treating it's AC as 2. If he successfully hits the projectile, the projectile attack is canceled out. When the banishing punch is used against an opponent directly, it inflicts damage as per the normal punch, +2/ + Strength bonus as normal/ + Wisdom bonus. For example: If Ragnar uses the banishing punch on a hobgoblin, and successfully makes a hit, he will add his bonus for strength (+3) and wisdom (+1) and the +2 for the move to whatever his roll totals to.
#79 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 20:25:56	Name: Boshi-Ken (Thumb Drive) Prerequisites: Punch 3, Shika-Ken Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: +0’ Description: The thumb-drive fist, or Boshi-ken, is like a regular punch, except that the thumb protrudes along the front of the fist and is used for striking the opponent. Typically the force of the punch is directed at the nerve clusters of an enemy's muscles for maximum effectiveness. System: An opponent struck with this punch will suffer numbness during the following round. If any damage is inflicted, the opponent suffers a -10' to Move and –1 To-Hit during the next round. If no damage was scored by the Ninja, it is assumed that the strike missed the targeted nerve cluster and doesn't slow the target appreciably.
#80 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 20:30:47	Name: Buffalo Punch Prerequisites: Punch 2 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +5 Round Movement: 10’ Description: The fighter clenches both hands together into one big fist above his head and swings both arms down on top on his opponent's head. It is said that some Atruaghin wrestlers could stun a full-grown buffalo with this slow but powerful punch. System: Use the modifiers above.
#81 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 20:32:02	Name: Dashing Punch Prerequisites: Punch 4, Athletics 1 Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: +20’ Description: When the fight starts, the boxer dashes forward and blast his opponent with a knockout punch before the opponent realized the fight had begun. The move was considered by many to be a typical cheap shot, but it has won lots of fights. System: Use the modifiers above.
#82 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 20:33:55	Name: Dashing Uppercut Prerequisites: Dashing Punch Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: +20’ Description: This move is a slight adaptation of the Dashing Punch. The difference is that the fighter delivers an uppercut punch instead of a straight punch at the end of the dash. System: The Dashing Uppercut can hit opponents in the air just above the fighter. Against such opponents, it scores a Knockdown in addition to damage, and forces the victim to miss a round of combat while recovering.
#83 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 20:34:46	Name: Dim Mak Prerequisites: Punch 4, Focus 3, Chi Kung Healing Maneuver Cost: 7 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +0 Round Movement: +0 Description: Dim Mak is the art of the death touch. Masters of Dim Mak possess secret knowledge of how Chi flows within the body. The body's Chi patterns are said to vary according to the time of day, season, and many other esoteric factors. A master of Dim Mak possesses knowledge of all of these factors and utilizes it to pinpoint vulnerable locations on his opponent's body. Thus, a mere finger thrust can disrupt a Chi flow and bring all sorts of misery to the victim of the Dim Mak strike. Legends of Dim Mak say that it is possible for the master to touch a victim and delay the damage to the victim's body by seconds, minutes, days, or even months. Certain pressure point strikes can paralyze the limbs, afflict the victim with specific diseases, and even kill with one blow. The arts of Snake Kung Fu come closest to maintaining the knowledge of Dim Mak, but a qualified teacher is extremely rare. System: While there are many effects of Dim Mak that a DM should feel free to include for dramatic purposes, use of Dim Mak in combat has certain specific effects. Whenever a fighter strikes an opponent with a Dim Mak touch, damage is rolled normally, but the attacker inflicts two extra effects. The first is that he can decide to delay the damage from the strike for any specified number of rounds. The damage will be applied against the opponent's hit points at the beginning of the specified round. The character does not have to tell his opponent when the damage will be dealt, but the player should tell the DM or write it on a piece of paper. The second effect is that the attacker can temporarily lower one of the victim's Physical Attributes (Strength, Dexterity or Constitution) by one point per successful Dim Mak strike. Physical Attributes cannot be lowered below 1 in this manner. The victim's bonuses for these attributes temporarily drop as his Dexterity, Strength or Constitution is reduced. Any skills involving the affected Attribute must be made using the lower score. The victim can regain these lost points after combat in 4d4 turns, or half of that amount by making a successful Saving Throw vs. Paralysis. Example: A Dim Mak practitioner strikes an opponent. She rolls ten points of damage. The fighter can choose to apply this to the victim's hit points now or wait to apply it any number of rounds in the future. In addition, the fighter chooses to lower the opponent's Strength by one (she has struck a point along the victim's rib cage that leaves his arms feeling numb and weak).
#84 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 20:40:12	Name: Disarm Prerequisites: Punch 3 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: Using this maneuver a character may deliver a blow that, if successful, will knock a weapon from an opponent's hands. System: The fighter makes a To-Hit roll against an opponent, treat as AC 4. If the attacker hits the target, then the defender must make a strength roll with a penalty equal to the attackers strength and dexterity bonuses combined. If the defender fails the roll, the defender's weapon flies 4d6 feet away. If the attacker botches, they fail to disarm the opponent, who can attack normally on his turn.
#85 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 20:41:27	Name: Double Punch Prerequisites: Punch 3, Athletics 3 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +0 Round Movement: +0 Description: Double Punch allows two simultaneous attacks on one or two opponents in the same round. System: Both fists deliver a punch. The performs a basic punch, twice. If the fighter attacks two enemies both must be adjacent to each other and the fighter.
#86 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 20:42:22	Name: Dragon Hand Prerequisites: Punch 4, Focus 4, Monkey Grab Punch Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +6 Round Movement: 10’ Description: The fighter makes an engulfing move with one of his arms to break the guard of his opponent, holding one of his arms ( mostly like the monkey grab punch), he then focuses his chi in his second arm, and strikes the opponent right in the chest with the palm of his hand, extending fully his arm and releasing the chi . The opponent is then propelled away several meters, and generally lands on his back. System: The fighter uses the modifiers above. This maneuver ignores Blocks unless the opponent is using Punch Defense. However, the fighter will still be able to attempt to damage his foe if they are using that defense: their Block is simply not ignored in such a case and they can absorb damage as normal. This maneuver cannot be used against an aerial opponent. If an opponent is damaged by this maneuver, the victim is knocked back an amount of feet equal to the damage caused to the victim, and the victim suffers a knockdown as well.

This nasty move is held to be dishonorable under some tournament rules. The fighter slaps both sides of his opponent's head with his hands slightly cupped. This causes incredible air pressure to rush into the opponent's ear's, stunning him and possibly causing loss of hearing (which is why the move is held to be dishonorable by some). System: This strike lowers the opponent's AC by 4 due to striking the head specifically. An opponent that is struck must make a successful Saving Throw vs. Paralysis or be stunned for 1d2 rounds.

Then halfway through his swing, he uses a different attack. System: The character starts to make a punch but delivers another attack instead. The character must play this in conjunction with the basic punch maneuver. Then, instead of that attack, he switches to any of the basic moves than the original claimed attack, which was a diversion.

Not to be outdone by other styles, some boxers developed a low, powerful punch that takes the legs right out from under their opponents.

If the Flaming Dragon Punch is used on an opponent standing adjacent to the fighter (the fighter using the Dragon Punch does not have to move in order to be next to the opponent), the Flaming Dragon Punch will hit twice! The player gets to roll two damage tests for his character's punch. For example, during a combat round, a hobgoblin attacks and decides to move next to a Mystic to deliver the attack and hit or misses. The mystic decides to take the Flaming Dragon Punch action on the attacking hobgoblin. Because the hobgoblin is right next to him when he begins his Flaming Dragon Punch action, the mystic gets to hit the hobgoblin twice with the punch.

#97 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 20:54:42	Name: Haymaker Prerequisites: Punch 1 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: –20’ Description: The fighter actually winds up like a baseball pitcher to deliver this crude yet powerful punch. He first reaches as far down the to ground as he can without overbalancing himself. Then he whips his fist in a wide arc over his own head and directly onto his opponent's.

This restriction has led sumotori to develop an awesome technique that utilizes open hand slapping. With the Hundred Hand Slap, the sumotori creates a blurringly fast flurry of strikes to overwhelm an opponent. The strike's name derives from the fact that sumotori who train to perfect this special move practice by striking a large wooden post 100 times as fast as they can. A fighter is timed on how fast he can deliver the blows with his open hand to the wooden post; over years of training, he is expected to reduce this time to under two seconds! Even the thickest posts often crack under the torrent of hammering blows. System: A fighter who uses Hundred Hand Slap in combat gets to roll three attacks against one opponent, using the modifier given for each strike.

#104 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 21:05:23	Name: Leaping Rake Prerequisites: Punch 2, Athletics 1, Jump Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: +1 Description: This maneuver was developed by Rakasta warriors.

#105 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 21:06:38	Name: Lunging Headbutt Prerequisites: Punch 2, Athletics 1, Head Butt Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: +1 Description: This is basically a Head Butt performed while the fighter quickly rushes a step forward, adding his momentum to the force of the blow.

#107 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 21:10:06	Name: Monkey Grab Punch Prerequisites: Punch 1, Grab 1 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: +0’ Description: This relatively simple maneuver originates from Monkey Kung Fu. The fighter lunges forward, grabbing and pulling away an opponent's blocking arm with one hand, then delivering a quick punch with his remaining hand.

If the fighter's target Blocks, he does not get to use his Block Move to absorb the damage from the Monkey Grab Punch.
#108 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 21:11:04	Name: Power Uppercut Prerequisites: Punch 1 Maneuver Cost: 1 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: 10’ Description: This move is relatively basic as Special Maneuvers go, but more than one Boxer has won a tournament with bread and-butter moves like the Power Uppercut. This powerful punch starts low and ends high above the fighter's head. By using his leg and back strength, the fighter can deliver some fierce power with this punch. The total commitment to the punch usually lifts the fighter slightly off his feet as he punches upward. System: If the Power Uppercut is used to attack an opponent jumping or flying above the fighter, the Power Uppercut will also cause a knockdown (if it scores a hit), knocking the opponent out of the sky and forcing a missed round of combat while regaining it's feet.
#109 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 21:12:51	Name: Rekka Ken Prerequisites: Punch 4, Athletics 2 Maneuver Cost: 7 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +3 Damage Bonus: +0 Round Movement: +0 Description: The Rekka Ken maneuver combines the speed of Wing Chun Kung Fu punching with new concepts of footwork. The Rekka Ken is essentially a special kind of punching combination. First, the fighter dashes forward and delivers a blindingly fast punch. This first punch is followed by advancing steps and up to two more consecutive punches. The rapid three-punch combination can devastate an opponent in mere seconds. System: During the first round of the Rekka Ken, the player uses his Rekka Ken as a super fast Punch. The punch is resolved normally, but the Rekka Ken gives it +3 extra To-Hit. For up to two subsequent rounds, the player can continue using the Rekka Ken without using additional Chi, and receive the +3 To-Hit bonus to each punch. Each punch must be used on the same opponent for up to three consecutive hits. A special showmanship always accompanies the Rekka Ken. If a fighter uses the Rekka Ken for three consecutive rounds against an opponent, the fighter is obligated to take a moment to strut his stuff, posing and howling in overconfident zeal. Obviously if the fighter misses one of the punches of the Rekka Ken, then the Chi must be used again if started over.
#110 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 21:13:58	Name: Shikan-Ken (Ninja Knuckle Fist) Prerequisites: Punch 2 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: +0’ Description: Shikan-ken is very similar to a jab, but the striking surface is significantly different. Most punches are thrown with a clenched fist, which provides a wide area of impact. When throwing a Knuckle Fist, the Ninja does not flex the innermost joints of his fingers. This leaves the bony middle knuckles as the striking surface. The reduced area of impact increases the strength and damage of the punch. System: Use the modifiers above.
#111 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 21:14:55	Name: Shockwave Prerequisites: Punch 4, Focus 2 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +0 Round Movement: None Description: Atruaghin warriors can strike the earth with a mighty fist, causing it to tremble and quake.

The shockwave extends for a number of 10' increments equal to the character's Strength, beginning with the space adjacent to the character. Anyone standing in the affected area suffers damage and is knocked down. Note that Shockwave knocks everyone down, even if an opponent was blocking or didn't suffer any damage from the maneuver. Opponents can avoid falling if the make a successful dexterity roll.
#112 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 21:15:39	Name: Shuto (Sword Hand) Prerequisites: Punch 3, Shika-Ken Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +3 or +4 Round Movement: –20’ Description: The arm is swung in a wide arc toward the target. At the last moment, the Ninja's fist unclenches, and the fingers form a line 90 degrees from the palm. The lower edge of the fingers strikes the target with a force similar to that imparted by a sword or club. System: This punch ignores the targets AC that comes from armor or shields For example humans would have AC 9, while a Kobold would still have an AC of 7. A target without such protection suffers an additional +1 to damage.
#113 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 21:16:59	Name: Sonic Fist Prerequisites: Punch 3, Focus 2 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: –2 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: +0 Description: A sort of middle ground halfway between a normal punch and a Sonic Boom.

#114 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 21:17:47	Name: Spinning Back Fist Prerequisites: Punch 2 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: +10’ Description: This punch gets its power from the rotation of the fighter's body. To deliver the Spinning Back Fist, the fighter steps forward with his rear foot, pivoting 180 degrees backward to strike with an outstretched back fist.

#115 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 21:18:33	Name: Spinning Clothesline Prerequisites: Punch 4, Athletics 3 Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +0 Round Movement: –20’ Description: Whirling destruction! The wrestler spins his body like a top. His outstretched arms club any opponent near him. He can wade through a gang of thieves, sending them flying in all directions. System: When using the Spinning Clothesline, the fighter moves and attacks simultaneously. When he initiates the move, the wrestler attacks all opponents sharing his space or in an adjacent space. The wrestler then moves 10' and repeats the round of attack rolls. He keeps moving and making damage rolls until he uses up his round movement or decides to stop. Anyone nearby who is half the fighters size, crouching or lying down will avoid the attacks.
#116 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 21:19:28	Name: Spinning Knuckle Prerequisites: Punch 3, Athletics 1, Spinning Back Fist Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: +3 Description: This move is an advanced version of a Spinning Back Fist. Instead of taking one step forward and spinning into a back fist, the fighter actually dances forward, taking several body-turning cross-steps before delivering the attack. The Spinning Knuckle uses the fighter's advancing motion to add power to the blow. Furthermore, the fighter actually delivers two back fists at the end. System: The fighter gets to roll two attacks, as the fist connects twice. Additionally, the fighter's dancing, turning steps allows him to evade projectile attacks improving his AC by 1 for those types of attacks this round only.
#117 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 21:20:48	Name: Strike of the Serpent Prerequisites: Punch 2 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +2 Damage Bonus: -2 Round Movement: +0’ Description: With the speed of a lunging cobra, a fighter strikes twice, one punch after another.

#118 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 21:21:56	Name: Triple Strike Prerequisites: Punch 2, Kick 1 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: 0 Round Movement: None Description: The fighter pulls back into a tight position, almost as if he were blocking, and then lashes out with two fists and a kicking foot at any one target next to him.

System: This move is identical to the Spinning Clothesline, except that it is quicker and travels farther
#120 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 21:23:45	Name: Turn Punch Prerequisites: Punch 4 Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: 20’ Description: This heavy punch is one of the most potent moves available to the boxer. The boxer craftily works his way around the opponent, setting up his opponent for a powerful overhand blow. The boxer actually turns his torso away from his opponent and then twists all the way forward as he throws the punch. This turning body motion gives the punch its name and its power. System: At the beginning of any round, a player can announce he is using the turn punch. This shows that his character is beginning to size up his opponent in preparation for the special move. During that same round, the player can use any other maneuver he wants, but the move has a -1 penalty to To-Hit, Damage, and -10' to Movement because the boxer is concentrating on setting up the Turn Punch. This can continue for up to four rounds total. The player continues to use any maneuver he chooses, but all maneuvers have the penalties included. At any time, including during the very first round he announced the Turn Punch, he can choose to execute the Turn Punch instead of using some other attack. The modifiers for the Turn Punch depend on how many rounds the boxer was allowed to prepare the Turn Punch: Combat Rounds/To-Hit/Damage 1 / -1 / +4 2 / -1 / +5 3 / +0 / +6 4 / +1 / +7 For example, the boxer executes the Turn Punch the first round it is played. The modifiers are-1 To-Hit, +4 Damage, Movement 20'. Another example would be if the player announces the Turn Punch in a round, and blocks that round (at the modifier penalties), a Punch on the next round (again, each move is at the modifier penalties), a no combat movement on the third round, another Punch on the fourth round, a Block on the fifth round, and finally, on the sixth round, instead of using another attack, the player announces the Turn Punch to be used this round. The Turn Punch's modifiers would be +1 To-Hit, +7 Damage, and Move 20'. After the end of any turn, before any attacks, the player can choose to stop the Turn Punch, having never used it and no Chi spent.
#121 zombiegleemax Dec 06, 2005 21:24:51	Name: Widowmaker Prerequisites: Punch 3, Jump, Haymaker Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -3 Damage Bonus: +5 Round Movement: 20’ Description: This move is similar to the Haymaker, except that the fighter makes a short jump to increase the damage inflicted. Gravity and the punishing mass of the fighter propel the attacker's fist directly onto the target's head. This move is slow, but when it connects, it will often end a fight. System: The fighter may jump up to 20' toward an opponent before inflicting damage. Any target hit by the Widowmaker suffers a knockdown, and must spend 1 round recovering. Because of the overhand strike involved with this move, a target that is airborne will not be hit, as the punch doesn't develop any real force until the swing is completed.
#122 zombiegleemax Dec 11, 2005 20:51:48	Name: Maka Wara Prerequisites: Block 4 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: None To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: Description: Both Rakasta and Ochalean martial arts incorporate training methods for turning a fighter's body surfaces and bones as hard as iron. This training, called Maka Wara in the Rakasta language, involves the fighter striking his hands, forearms, shins, etc. into progressively harder surfaces: padded wood, bare wood, bricks, stone, and finally metal. The repeated blows causes the fighter's bones to harden over time until they become like rods of iron. The training is facilitated by a secret herbal formula called dit da jow in Ochalea. The herbal remedy helps heal the bruises that form on the fighter's arms and legs, allowing him to train again the next day. No one likes to punch or kick a rod of iron, but that is essentially what an opponent must do to overcome a Maka Wara master. System: Character who possess Maka Wara invoke the power whenever they use a Blocking Technique and an opponent strikes them with a punch, kick or using another part of their body (tails, tentacles, head, etc). The Maka Wara fighter takes damage as normal, but immediately rolls damage against his opponent, who has just injured himself by striking the iron-hard arms or legs of the Maka Wara fighter. The fighter rolls damage using half of the attackers roll (For example: If the attacker rolls 1d4, then the defender uses 1d2, Attacker uses 1d6 then 1d3, etc), all bonuses the attacker gets to his die roll, such as strength or martial arts, is also halved as the die roll is. If the defender is attacked with a weapon or Grab Technique maneuver, the attacker does not take damage.
#123 zombiegleemax Dec 11, 2005 20:54:11	Name: Missile Reflection Prerequisites: Block 4 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: –5’ Description: Martial artists who have studied the intimate details of evasion and deflection motions are able to snatch arrows out of the air and catch thrown knives between clapped hands. Often the fighter will return the missile weapon to its sender in one fluid catch-and-throw motion. System: When this Special Maneuver is used, the fighter poises himself to intercept any objects thrown or fired at him. If any missile attacks are directed at him, he has a chance to catch them and even return them toward their sender or in any other direction. The fighter must make a Dexterity roll with penalties (-1 for thrown items or weapons/-3 for bows, crossbows or slings) to catch a missile successfully. If the missile is reflected at another party, the deflecting fighter rolls to-hit the new victim, which suffers the same damage that the missile would have inflicted upon the fighter who caught and returned it. The fighter can deflect any number of missiles targeted at him during the same turn. Yes, any number, but only one can be reflected at another opponent.
#124 zombiegleemax Dec 11, 2005 20:54:50	Name: Punch Defense Prerequisites: Block 2 Maneuver Cost: 1 Any Style Usage Cost: None To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: Similar to Kick Defense, Punch Defense incorporates a variety of ducking, bobbing, and deflecting movements that defend a fighter against punches. System: This operates with a standard Block Move, except that the fighter can absorb +4 points against punches (including large creature punches). This is a passive modifier and is added to the fighter's normal Blocking skill.
#125 zombiegleemax Dec 11, 2005 20:55:46	Name: Roll With the Hit Prerequisites: Block 4 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: The fighter lessens damage by "going with" the incoming attack. System: This maneuver may be played in conjunction with any maneuver, except for Grabs. If the character using this maneuver is attacked while Blocking, he may double his Blocking absorption. If he was attacking, he cannot add his Blocking mastery, but he still absorbs 2 points of damage. If the character was using a maneuver that is an attack, the character makes the attack as usual.
#126 zombiegleemax Dec 11, 2005 20:56:25	Name: San He Prerequisites: Block 3, Focus 2 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: Some styles teach practitioners the ability to root their bodies to the ground using their internal Chi energy. This same energy can be spread out across the surface of the body, causing all the muscles to tighten. This rigid, immovable stance is part of the San He form of Kung Fu. Other styles refer to it by different names. When a fighter assumes this stance, his body becomes like a single, solid piece of iron immovable and resistant to all attacks. System: When executing San He, the character doubles his Block skill for his absorbing total. For example, a character with a Block Technique of 4 would absorb 8 points of damage the turn he uses San He. In addition, the fighter cannot be knocked down except by a Grab Maneuver, nor can he be knocked back out of his space. The San He stance roots the fighter to the ground, and even special powers like Dragon Breath or the Dragon Punch will not knock the character back or down. Against truly massive moving objects, like charging bulls, the Dungeon Master can have the fighter roll Strength + Block to stand his ground. The bigger the object, the higher the penalty the fighter receives on his roll (a wagon might be -4, a small dragon might be -7).

System: This operates with a standard Block Move, except that the fighter can absorb +4 points against melee weapons (including large creature weapons). This is a passive modifier and is added to the fighter's normal Blocking skill.
#128 zombiegleemax Dec 11, 2005 20:58:12	Name: Wooden Dummy Prerequisites: Block 4, Deflecting Punch Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: Derived from Wing Chun, the Wooden Dummy technique allows a fighter to block an opponents strike and then retaliate with a flurry of blows. System: While blocking, the fighter makes attack rolls against his opponent. If the fighter fails the rolls, then no damage is done. If the fighter succeeds, however, then he makes a number of physical attacks equal to half of how many points of damage was absorbed. Example: Ragnar attempts to punch Leonine. Leonine decides to counter with a Wooden Dummy. After succeeding with a basic Block, and absorbing 4 points, Leonine makes two attacks, using either Punch or Kick moves to determine to-hit and damage.
#129 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 20:28:02	Name: Air Suplex Prerequisites: Grab 3, Athletics 3, Jump, Suplex Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: +0’ Description: The warrior intercepts his opponent in mid-air, grabbing the opponent and twisting him upside-down so that both attacker and victim fall to the ground headfirst. Of course, the victim of the Air Suplex crashes to the ground first, absorbing the impact of the fall. This maneuver was actually developed by Sind Kabaddi masters who were said to be able to intercept the pounce of a full grown tiger and bring the tiger crashing to the ground. System: Use the modifiers listed above. The fighter must attack an opponent that's aerial. If the victim is hit, then the Air Suplex was successful and the victim suffers a Knockdown. The attacker and victim both end the turn in the same space where the attack occurred.
#130 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 20:29:03	Name: Air Throw Prerequisites: Grab 2, Athletics 1, Jump, Throw Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +2 Damage Bonus: +5 Round Movement: +0’ Description: Some Atruaghin Wrestlers have been known to jump into the air to catch an aerial opponent, grab the opponent like a hawk snatching a dove, and slam the opponent to the ground. This lethal move is also seen in Sanbo, and is even seen in the aerial artistry of Wu Shu. Some warriors prefer to grab their opponents and fall with them to crush them into the ground. Others grab their opponents and bring them down on top of themselves, while still others prefer the finesse of grabbing opponents out of the air and dashing them to the ground. System: To execute the move during combat, the fighter must jump into an aerial opponent. The fighter then must enter the same space as the airborne victim, and execute the throw. If the attack is successful, the fighter can pick any spot within 15' to deposit the victim. In addition to regular damage, the victim will suffer a Knockdown. After executing the throw, the attacker can finish any remaining movement.
#131 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 20:29:55	Name: Back Breaker Prerequisites: Grab 3 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: 5’ Description: The wrestler grabs an opponent, turns his body over and slams his head and back into the ground.

#132 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 20:30:44	Name: Back Roll Throw Prerequisites: Grab 2, Kick 1, Athletics 1, Throw Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: 5’ Description: This move is an advanced version of the Throw special move. Instead of using hisr shoulders or hips to throw an opponent, the fighter grabs the opponent and then rolls backward onto the ground, planting a foot on the opponent's chest to heft him up and over. The victim of the Back Roll Throw ends up tossed behind the attacker's head. System: The move is quicker than a basic Throw, and the opponent can be thrown farther. The victim can be thrown a number of hexes equal to the attacker's Strength + Kicking level.
#133 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 20:31:27	Name: Bear Hug Prerequisites: Grab 2 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: 5’ Description: Grab that irritatingly quick little thief and crush him into your chest until his bones rattle. The Bear Hug is an old standby for many wrestlers, and a few other stylists have decided to adopt it as well. System: The Bear Hug is a Sustained Hold. This means that a caught victim must try to make a successful strength or dexterity roll to break free. This can be attempted every round of combat until successful or defeated.
#134 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 20:32:12	Name: Brain Cracker Prerequisites: Grab 2, Punch 1 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: 5’ Description: Defeating an opponent isn't enough for some fighters. They want to drive some sense into their opponents' brains. A fighter employing the Brain Cracker move grabs his opponent's hair, ear, or nose, pulls his head down, and rains smashing punches into his skull or drives elbows into his face. System: This is a Sustained Hold that allows the fighter to punch a held opponent each turn the hold is maintained. The Brain Cracker uses the Punch skill to determine any damage bonus.
#135 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 20:32:56	Name: Choke Throw Prerequisites: Grab 3, Athletics 2, Jump Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: +0’ Description: The fighter leaps up and either catches his opponent in midair or executes this maneuver upon landing. Either way, the result is the same. The fighter catches his opponent by the throat and uses his momentum to hurl his opponent to the ground. System: Use the modifiers listed above. The fighter executing the Choke Throw can attack an aerial opponent. It can also be used to attack a standing opponent. A successful attack indicates that the victim suffers a Knockdown. The attacker and victim both end the round in the same space where the attack occurred.
#136 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 20:33:47	Name: Disengage Prerequisites: Grab 2, Athletics 2 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: –10’ Description: This maneuver utilizes a fighter's flexibility and quickness, enabling him to extract himself from an opponent's grasp. System: A fighter may play this move during any turn in which he is in a Sustained Hold. When played, the captive fighter rolls to try to escape from his captor. The fighter gets 2 rolls to escape. One roll against strength and one against dexterity. If either f the rolls is successful, then the fighter breaks free. If he escapes and has any movement left, he may move away from his opponent.
#137 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 20:34:30	Name: Dislocate Limb Prerequisites: Grab 3, Kick 2, Athletics 1 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: +5’ Description: Jumping forward, the fighter grasps his opponent's arm tightly with both of his. He then lifts one leg into the pit of the opponent's arm and pulls with all of his strength. This pulls the shoulder joint loose from its socket, causing incredible pain and immobilizing the arm. Very little damage is inflicted by this maneuver, but it is an effective way to deal with an opponent who specializes in punches. System: The round after a fighter's shoulder has been dislocated, after it's reset he suffers a -3 To-Hit penalty. This is because he is forced to pop his arm back into its regular position. Any punches used this turn will have a -2 Damage modifier, as the fighter attempts to return some feeling to his arm. Alternately, the opponent can choose not to relocate his arm. However, he may only throw kicks until he takes the time to relocate his arm.
#138 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 20:35:11	Name: Double Slam Prerequisites: Grab 3, Strength 18+ Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +0/-3 Round Movement: 5’ Description: Norse warriors show off their strength with this move, where they pick their victim up, slam him to the ground, then hoist him up again without letting go to bring him overhead to slam him down again! System: This Grab maneuver ignores Blocks. The victim is hoisted overhead to land for the first slam in the space opposite where he was relative to the fighter, then is returned to his own space after the second slam. The fighter must move into the same 5' space to grab, but steps back for the slams, thus effectively not moving from his original position. The victim is knocked down. He also takes separate damage from each individual slam. The second slam is an automatic hit or miss depending on the first slam's success.
#139 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 20:36:17	Name: Dragon Drop Prerequisites: Grab 3, Athletics 2, Kick 1 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: 5’ Description: In a seemingly impossible chain of movement, the fighters grabs hold of his opponent and flings himself up and over him, doing a 180 degree turn while directly above him. On his descent, he uses his now forward momentum to slam a powerful kick to back of his opponents head or back. System: Use the modifiers above. Opponent is forced forward for as many feet equal to attackers strength.
#140 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 20:37:26	Name: Eye Rake Prerequisites: Grab 1, Punch 1 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +2 Damage Bonus: -3 Round Movement: None Description: In a truly desperate move, the fighter clenches his fingers into a claw and rakes them across his opponent's eyes. The pain caused by this is incredible but usually does not result in any permanent damage. Few Lawful fighters use this attack, as it is considered extremely poor form. Nonetheless, this move has often meant the difference between winning and losing a fight. System: Very little damage results from this attack, but for the next round the opponent must fight blind. If he has no Blind Fighting skill, he is effectively unable to act for that round. A fighter forced to resort to this desperate move can not be of lawful alignment. If an Eye Rake is used in a tournament, he will also lose honor among his peers.
#141 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 20:38:20	Name: Face Slam Prerequisites: Grab 2, Strength of 18+ Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: 5’ Description: This maneuver requires tremendous upper body strength. Basically, the Fighter palms his opponents face, lifts him off the ground and slams him head-first into the ground. System: Use the modifiers above. If attack is successful, the opponent suffers a Knockdown.
#142 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 20:49:53	Name: Flying Tackle Prerequisites: Grab 2, Athletics 2 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +0 Round Movement: +10’ Description: The Fighter launches into the air and slams into his opponent, taking them both to the ground. This maneuver is considered crude by many high-ranking tournament fighters, although its effectiveness cannot be denied. System: Both the attacker and defender suffer a knockdown, but only if the attack is successful. After impact, attacker and defender fly back 10' and end the turn on the ground, occupying the same space. The attacker gains a bonus +2 To-Hit if his next maneuver is a Grab Maneuver.
#143 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 20:50:48	Name: Grappling Defense Prerequisites: Grab 4 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: None To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: Wrestlers don't survive long unless they learn ways to escape and counter the grabs and holds of their fellow wrestlers. Other styles, such as the Kung Fu art of Chin Na or the Japanese art of jiu-jitsu, formalize this grappling training. System: The Grappling Defense Special Move works with a Block, but it only protects against Grab maneuvers. A fighter employing Grappling Defense adds his Grappling level to his Block absorbing skill to determine his absorption total against any Grab Maneuver. For example, Hikaro grabs his opponent and applies a Bear Hug. The opponent is using block with Grappling Defense, so he adds his Block absorption of 4 and his own Grab Technique of 4 to get an absorption total of 8 against the damage of Hikaro's Bear Hug maneuver. Grappling Defense can even be used each turn by a fighter trapped in a Sustained Hold, using the grappling level to absorb some of the damage, thereby minimizing the damage the hold inflicts.
#144 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:03:33	Name: Hair Throw Prerequisites: Grab 3, Athletics 2, Throw Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +5 Round Movement: 10’ Description: This throwing maneuver was invented hundreds of years ago by an Ethengar tribe renowned for its acrobatic grappling maneuvers. The tribe was assaulted by bands of thieving marauders who would gallop in on horses and pillage the tribe's villages. Seeing that the marauders wore their hair in long locks, the tribe invented a technique for running at a horseman, flipping up and over the horseman's head, grabbing his hair from behind and throwing the marauder off his horse. Various styles of Kung Fu have since picked up the technique, and the hair-pulling maneuver is also used by many elite Ethengar warriors. System: The fighter must move into and straight through an opponent's space. The opponent can then be thrown (per the Throw maneuver) along the same straight line the fighter initially used to move over his opponent.
#145 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:05:35	Name: Head Bite Prerequisites: Grab 2 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: 5’ Description: Some Fighters either have a little vampirism in them or are just downright savage. It's a nasty move, but some fighters have been known to leap onto their opponents and bite right into their necks. System: This is a Sustained Hold and inflicts damage each turn the hold is maintained.
#146 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:06:22	Name: Head Butt Hold Prerequisites: Grab 2, Head Butt Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: 5’ Description: Heldann-style boxing doesn't allow head butts; however, some fighters don't mind banging heads in the middle of a clinch. Norseman boxers take this one step further, grabbing their opponents and smashing them with repeated head butts. System: The move is a Sustained Hold, so the boxer gets to attack his opponent each turn until the victim escapes.
#147 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:06:55	Name: Headlock Prerequisites: Grab 1 Maneuver Cost: 1 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +0 Round Movement: 5’ Description: A tried and true favorite. A fighter basically grabs his opponent around the neck and holds him, cutting off his air. System: This is a Sustained Hold.
#148 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:07:47	Name: Headlock Kicks Prerequisites: Headlock, Kick 1 Maneuver Cost: 1 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -3 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: None Description: While keeping their opponent in a headlock, a fighter then brings up their foot to kick them in the head. System: Fighter must have opponent in a Sustained Headlock. He may then roll attack each round until either the Headlock is broken or a number of rounds equal to double his Grab rating has passed.
#149 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:08:35	Name: Improved Pin Prerequisites: Grab 3, Athletics 2, Pin Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +2/+1 Round Movement: +5’/10’ Description: This is simply a refinement of the Pin technique. System: The fighter may use an Improved Pin on any one target in their hex or an adjacent hex, regardless of whether the target is Knocked Down or Dizzy, using the modifiers above. In all other ways, it acts exactly like a Pin.
#150 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:12:01	Name: Iron Claw Prerequisites: Grab 5 Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: 5’ Description: The wrestler quickly grabs his opponent with one hand, draws him in, and then places his other hand on the opponent's face. The wrestler's hand clenches like a vise over the opponent's face, each finger digging into some pressure point like the temples, under the jaw, or even into the eyes. The sheer force of the squeeze causes intense pain to the victim. Wrestlers train for the Iron Claw by performing a variety of exercises to increase their grip strength. One of the most popular in Thyatis, involves dropping and catching slabs of marble. A wrestler takes a marble block and raises it over his head with both outstretched arms. He releases the block and then darts his hands down to catch it before it hits the ground. Grasping the heavy marble quickly builds tremendous hand strength. Wrestlers then practice clapping their hands together after they release the marble, and then still grabbing it before it hits the ground. The clapping builds speed. System: The Iron Claw is a Sustained Hold that uses the modifiers listed above.
#151 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:12:45	Name: Jaw Spin Prerequisites: Grab 4, Athletics 3, Tearing Bite Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: +5 Round Movement: None Description: Truly a terrifying tactic. The fighter assumes a crouching stance (apparently a Block Maneuver) and waits for her opponent's attack. When the attack is launched, the fighter jumps, grips his assailant's limb in his jaws, and begins to shake and spin violently. System: To be successful, the fighter must actually allow the opponent to attack first. Once the blow has landed (assuming the fighter is still on his feet), he then executes the Jaw Spin.
#152 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:13:26	Name: Joint Break Prerequisites: Grab 5, Joint Lock Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: +0 Description: The fighter grabs one of his opponent's limbs and twists it violently in a manner it was not meant to be, breaking the joint. System: If the victim takes any damage from this maneuver, the limb is broken, until it is healed (Chi Kung healing can fix the broken arm if as many hit points are restored as the Joint Break inflicted). This maneuver does Kill damage only (though, at the DMs option, victims might pass out from the pain).
#153 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:13:59	Name: Joint Lock Prerequisites: Grab 4 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: +1/+0 Round Movement: +0’/5’ Description: The fighter grabs one of the opponents limbs and twists it around in a manner it was never meant to be twisted, forcing them to the ground in pain. System: This is a Sustained Hold; the victim takes damage each turn it is maintained. For the duration of the Joint Lock the victim is considered to be crouching and cannot use the locked limb, though he may attack with another limb with a -4 penalty. The damage from a Joint Lock is Stun damage only; even if the victim is incapacitated from the pain, he will not be physically damaged by it and can not die. Armor does not effect the damage taken from this. A victim will recover lost hit points from this maneuver at a rate of 1+Constitution bonus per round after being freed from the hold.
#154 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:15:02	Name: Knee Basher Prerequisites: Grab 2, Kick 1 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: 5’ Description: This move resembles the Brain Cracker, except that the wrestler grabs his opponent's head and doubles the opponent over in order to knee him in the head. Capoeira stylists practice this move by holding coconuts in one hand and crushing them with their knees. System: This move is a Sustained Hold, and even if the opponent is lucky enough to escape, he suffers a -2 To-Hit penalty the turn after he frees himself. The Knee Basher uses the Kick skill to determine any damage bonus.
#155 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:16:00	Name: Multi-Arm Pummel Prerequisites: 3+ Grabbing Limbs, Strength 18+, Grab 5 Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: 5’ Description: The incredibly strong fighter takes two arms and grabs his opponent, picking him up off the ground. He then uses his other arm(s) to pummel the opponent in rapid succession. System: Use the modifiers above. The attacker makes three attack rolls.
#156 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:17:52	Name: Neck Choke Prerequisites: Grab 3 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: 5’ Description: The fighter grabs his opponent and applies a strangling Neck Choke. Big fighters prefer to lift their opponents off the ground as they apply the hold. System: The Neck Choke is a Sustained Hold.
#157 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:18:35	Name: Norwald Bear Crusher Prerequisites: Grab 3, Athletics 2, Back Breaker Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +5 Round Movement: +5’ Description: Irritated by little opponents who would hit and run from them, Sanbo wrestlers revived and perfected a maneuver they had previously practiced on the wild bears of Norwald. In so doing, the wrestler would rush at the bear, closing inside the range of the bear's deadly claws before it could strike. Then he lifted the bear into an airborne back breaker to hammer the beast into submission. (Of course, practitioners acquired a lot of claw scars trying to learn the maneuver.) System: The wrestler dashes forward into the opponent's space, grabs the opponent, inverts him, and leaps into the air. In midair, the wrestler adjusts his hold to ensure the victim lands in the Back Breaker position. The wrestler can choose any space up to 5' away to land in. The victim will land in any space adjacent to the wrestler. The victim suffers a Knockdown in addition to damage.
#158 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:19:25	Name: Norwald Suplex Prerequisites: Grab 4, Athletics 2, Suplex Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: 5’ Description: Norwald Sanbo wrestlers invented the bouncing Norwald Suplex in order to have more fun with their puny opponents from the South. Sanbo wrestlers found that their opponents would usually be knocked senseless after only one Suplex, thus - ending the match before the Sanbo fighter could work up a sweat. So Sanbo fighters invented the Norwald Suplex. This move begins exactly like a regular Suplex, but the fighter backbridges the opponent's shoulders into the ground hard enough to bounce both fighters into the air. While in the air, the Sanbo wrestler maintains the Suplex hold. When the pair lands, the victim again suffers a Suplex collision on the ground. System: This move is identical to a Suplex, except that the fighters end the move 5' farther back as they land from the second hit. The fighter rolls two damage rolls using the modifiers above if the victim is successfully hit. The victim also suffers a Knockdown.
#159 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:24:13	Name: Pile Driver Prerequisites: Grab 3, Athletics 1 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: 5’ Description: The Pile Driver is an advanced grappling move that takes a lot of training to execute against a live opponent. The wrestler must grab his opponent and invert his body so that the opponent's head is between the wrestler's legs and the opponent's legs extend above the wrestler's head. The wrestler then jumps up and raises his own legs into a seated position. When the wrestler and his victim land, the opponent's head hits first. System: The victim of a successful Pile Driver also suffers a Knockdown.
#160 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:25:15	Name: Pin Prerequisites: Grab 2 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +2/+0 Round Movement: +5’/None Description: Jiu Jitsu practitioners learn many ways to hold someone immobile. To perform a Pin, the target must either have suffered a knockdown or be stunned; the fighter moves into his opponent's 5' space and makes his attack roll. If he succeeds with the To-Hit roll, the opponent is held in a painful, immobilizing hold until he manages to break free - a difficult task. The Jiu Jitsu practitioner, during tournaments, often pins his opponent near the end of the fight, then just waits for the time to run out. System: The Jiu Jitsu practitioner's Strength is considered to be raised by three points only for the purpose of holding the opponent (it does not add to the damage roll). The fighter may choose to inflict damage or not on each Turn after the first; the target only gets their Grappling Defense against this attack. This is a Sustained Hold. If the fighter is stunned or knocked out by a third party's attack, the Pin is automatically broken.
#161 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:26:20	Name: Ripping Bite Prerequisites: Grab 3, Head Bite Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: 5’ Description: Some humanoid fighters often use their jaws as weapons. The fighter chomps down on the limb he wishes to weaken, and then tries to tear the muscles and ligaments from their connecting tissue. It is because of this maneuver (and others like it) that humanoids are looked down upon, in tournaments. System: The fighter leaps forward and indicates which limb he wishes to strike. A successful attack inflicts damage and causes the target to suffer a -1 penalty on Strength rolls if it was an arm, or -1 penalty on Dexterity for the remainder of the combat. This maneuver can be performed multiple times, thus further impairing an opponent.
#162 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:27:42	Name: Rising Storm Crow Prerequisites: Grab 3, Athletics 3, Throw Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -3 Damage Bonus: (–3)x2 Round Movement: +10’ Description: The Rising Storm Crow is a devastating maneuver based on the same principles of leverage seen in the Thigh Press, only taken to a further level of power. The fighter charges and grabs anything at hand on the front of his target (lapels, hair, ears); he then launches into a forward flip directly over his opponent. As he lands in a crouched position (still facing the direction he started in), he bends his opponent over backwards and pulls him over his head, using the momentum of the leap to fling him tumbling through the air. Damage is caused by both the forced backward contortion and the impact of the landing. Successful repetition of this maneuver can easily batter an opponent senseless. System: The fighter must start at least 10' away from his target when starting, and can throw the target in a straight line forward for as many feet as his Strength. The target takes two damage rolls if the attack is successful: one at -3 when the forced flip is initiated, and then another at twice the fighter's Strength bonus when the target lands. Thus, a character with a high Strength throws the target farther and harder. The opponent automatically suffers a Knockdown.
#163 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:28:48	Name: Sleeper Prerequisites: Grab 3 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: 5’ Description: The wrestler grabs his opponent and quickly positions himself behind him, simultaneously wrapping his arms around his neck and head. In this position he massages pressure points on the scalp while compressing the carotid artery, which controls the flow of blood to the brain. Eventually the lack of circulation will cause the opponent to lose consciousness. System: If the character can maintain his grip for three rounds, including the first, the opponent will automatically fall unconscious. This is a Sustained Hold.
#164 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:30:20	Name: Spinning Neck Lock Prerequisites: Grab 2, Kick 2, Athletics 2 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: 5’ Description: The fighter leaps into the air, hooking a leg around his opponent’s neck, and then takes him down. The opponent is then caught in the fighter’s leg lock. System: This is a Sustained Hold that knocks down both fighters.
#165 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:32:25	Name: Spinning Pile Driver Prerequisites: Grab 4, Athletics 3, Jump, Pile Driver Maneuver Cost: 7 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +7 Round Movement: 10’ Description: This advanced version of the regular Pile Driver has carried Norwald wrestlers to the title of World Champion (often over the mangled bodies of their opponents). Norwald wrestlers perfected this move when they wrestled wild bears. Finding that the regular Pile Driver was not forceful enough to stun the hard-headed Norwald bears, they grabbed them, upended them into the Pile Driver position and then jumped high into the air. The added force from the fall proved sufficient to stun the most ferocious bears. When Norwald wrestlers entered tournaments, they continued to use the Spinning Pile Driver to finish their opponents. They added the spin into the move to please the Norwald crowds and disorient their victims. System: The victim suffers a Knockdown in addition to regular damage, and is bounced 10' away (attacker's choice which direction) after impact.
#166 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:33:31	Name: Stomach Pump Prerequisites: Grab 4, Punch 2 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: 5’ Description: The wrestler grabs the opponent, lifts him off his feet with one hand and repeatedly smashes the pit of his stomach with a palm heel. The move's name derives from the fact that many victims end up losing their lunch before they escape from this organ squeezing hold. System: The Stomach Pump is a Sustained Hold.
#167 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:34:50	Name: Storm Hammer Prerequisites: Grab 5, Athletics 3, Jump Maneuver Cost: 7 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +7 Round Movement: 5’ Description: Unfortunate souls who anger big Atruaghin wrestlers in the midst of combat are in for a disorienting, bone-crushing experience as they unleash their Storm Hammer throw. The wrestler grabs his opponent's head in one huge hand, leaps into the air, spins his arm (opponent included!) in a big circle and then crushes the opponent's face into the arena floor. Very few opponents get back up. System: As with all Grab Special Maneuvers, the fighter must move into the same space as his opponent. The fighter can choose to land up to 15' away. The opponent suffers a Knockdown in addition to damage. Fighter and opponent end the turn in the same space.
#168 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:35:51	Name: Suplex Prerequisites: Grab 1 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: 5’ Description: The Suplex is a relatively fast Grab move. The fighter lunges forward, grabs his opponent, and then twists around to fall backwards. By arching his back, the wrestler slams the opponent's head into the ground and simultaneously cushions the wrestler's own fall. System: Victims of a successful Suplex also suffer a Knockdown. The victim lands one 5' space behind his original position (attacker's choice which direction).
#169 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:36:40	Name: Tearing Bite Prerequisites: Grab 2, Athletics 2, Head Bite Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: 5’ Description: This maneuver is similar to the Head Bite, except that as the fighter's teeth bear down on his opponent's neck, he also applies leverage to the victim and throws him over his back. System: After applying the damage, the attacker then throws his opponent in the opposite direction from the one he is facing. The victim travels a number of feet equal to the fighter's Strength -1.
#170 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:37:30	Name: Thigh Press Prerequisites: Grab 2, Athletics 2 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: 5’ Description: This move is also called a Reverse Suplex. The fighter starts by jumping onto the opponent's shoulders, locking his feet behind the opponent's back and catching the opponent's head between his thighs. The fighter then drops his body weight backward, bending the opponent over. As he does so, the fighter flips backward, doing a half back flip and landing on his stomach. Meanwhile, the opponent is pulled over and off his feet, smashing headfirst into the ground. System: The opponent suffers a Knockdown in addition to regular damage. The fighter switches spaces with his opponent unless both combatants started in the same space, in which case the attacker can choose the adjacent space in which the victim lands.
#171 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:39:36	Name: Throw Prerequisites: Grab 1 Maneuver Cost: 1 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: 5’ Description: Most martial arts teach special techniques for grabbing and throwing an opponent. These techniques involve using the hips, shoulders and/or arms to unbalance the opponent and leverage him into a throw. Masters can throw opponents over 20 feet through the air. System: If the move succeeds, the fighter can choose the space in which his opponent lands after the Throw. The fighter can throw an opponent a number of feet equal to the fighter's Strength. For example, Gustaf has a Strength of 17, so he can shoulder-throw an opponent up to 3-5' spaces away. The opponent lands in the designated space and suffers a Knockdown. Fast members of parties often throw opponents to their stronger, slower comrades, who then finish off the unfortunate. The damage from a Throw is actually inflicted when the opponent lands and hits the ground, wall, table, other fighter, etc. If the victim is thrown into another fighter, the fighter struck by the flying body may suffer damage as well. Roll damage as if the character hit was also thrown unless a successful dexterity or strength roll is made (If the character makes a successful strength roll, then he has caught the thrown fighter and may choose to put him down without suffering any damage). For example, Gustaf throws Ragnar into a space where Svala is standing. Ragnar is a big guy and Svala is a small rogue who attempts to make a dexterity roll to dodge Ragnar. She succeeds and Ragnar sustains damage as rolled. If Gustaf had thrown Svala instead and Ragnar ha succeeded at a strength roll, neither Ragnar or Svala would have sustained damage as he would catch her and be able to set her down on her feet.
#172 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:40:42	Name: Twirl and Hurl Prerequisites: Grab 4, Athletics 2 Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: –2 stand adjacent/+2 thrown Round Movement: 10’ Description: This move is famous among bar-frequenting Heldanners as an excellent way to clear an area for fighting properly in, and all it needs is one willing person lying nearby to pull it off. System: The victim of the T & H must be already knocked down. The fighter seizes the victim by the legs (need not move into the same space to perform this Grab) and swings the poor fellow around a few times before throwing him through the air. During the swinging around, anyone in a ring of spaces around the fighter is attacked as written above and is knocked down, unless a successful Save Throw vs. Paralysis is made. The swinging continues for quite a while, until the end of the combat round (such that anyone walking into the ring during this time will also be affected by the attack and knockdown.) At the end of the combat round, the fighter lets go, sending the victim a number of straight-line spaces in the direction of the fighter's choice, a distance equal to the fighter's Strength score. The thrown victim is knocked down upon landing.
#173 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:42:37	Name: Air Smash Prerequisites: Athletics 1, Jump Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: –5’ Description: This move is popular with large fighters because it uses their weight to flatten an opponent into the ground. The fighter leaps into the air, high above an opponent's head, and then falls straight down on top of him. Most fighters tend to land in an aerial seated position, which has caused the Air Smash to be nicknamed the "Butt Crush." System: The Air Smash is an Aerial Maneuver and acts as a Jump for purposes of avoiding and evading projectile attacks. The fighter must move in a straight line while executing the move, and he will end the move in the same 5' space as the opponent on whom he landed.
#174 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:44:15	Name: Backflip Prerequisites: Athletics 3 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +3 Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: +10’ Description: This athletics maneuver provides a warrior with an excellent retreating defensive move. A well-trained fighter using a backflip can avoid nearly any attack. The Backflip maneuver is actually a series of back-handsprings that can take a competent gymnast halfway across an arena while he dodges projectiles and other attacks. System: While executing this maneuver, the fighter can only move in a straight line away from his foe. While executing this maneuver, the fighter cannot be harmed by any attack that he succeeds in a Dexterity roll against.
#175 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:45:24	Name: Barrel Roll Kick Prerequisites: Athletics 5, Kick 4 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +5 Round Movement: +25’ Description: In a visually incredible maneuver, the fighter spins forward off the ground in a nearly horizontal, parallel position, and lashes out with a kick. System: This is an aerial maneuver that can be used to dodge projectiles, with a +2 to the Dexterity roll.
#176 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:46:20	Name: Beast Roll Prerequisites: Athletics 5, Rolling Attack, Vertical Rolling Attack Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: –10’/+10’ Description: Superhuman. Few individuals have deciphered exactly how this gravity-defying move is accomplished. The fighter begins by springing backward into several aerial backflips, then rolls back forward in a series of somersaulting forward flips to ram his opponent. System: The Beast Roll is an aerial maneuver that can be used like a Jump to dodge projectiles. The fighter begins by traveling in a straight line backward using the -10' movement modifier. This backward roll can be used to attack an opponent. The fighter then reverses direction along the same straight line to attack a second opponent. The fighter caroms off the second opponent, ending up 10' away in the direction from which he came. For both attacks, the fighter must move into the opponent's 5' space.
#177 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:49:16	Name: Breakfall Prerequisites: Athletics 1 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: none To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: Jiu Jitsu, Aikido, and a number of other styles emphasize throwing techniques. Before one can learn how to throw, however, he must first learn how to be thrown without getting hurt. Breakfall is usually performed as a roll onto the shoulders and arms, with the head tucked in to protect against neck injuries. System: Breakfall is a technique that fighters practice until it becomes instinctive; therefore, you do not need to Breakfall to use it. Whenever your character takes damage from a maneuver that does knockdown, you may reduce the amount of damage he takes from the fall by one hit point for each level of Athletics. (Note: Breakfall doesn't help against maneuvers that do damage and then knock you down, only against maneuvers where hitting the ground is the source of the damage, such as a Throw.)
#178 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:49:59	Name: Butterfly Cartwheel Prerequisites: Athletics 4, Jump Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: This is an aerial cartwheel performed without hands. Using sheer strength and a twist of the torso, the fighter launches himself in any direction and lands feet first. System: This maneuver gets a bonus +2 to the Dexterity roll to avoid any attacks. This is an aerial maneuver and can be used to dodge projectiles.
#179 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:50:50	Name: Cannon Drill Prerequisites: Athletics 5 Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +2 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: +10’ Description: To execute the Cannon Drill, the fighter throws his body into a low airborne trajectory. The fighter's body actually twists like a horizontal tornado as he flies across the field to strike his opponent feet first. The move is very quick, has a vicious hit, and moves the fighter quite a distance. System: Because it flies so low to the ground, the Cannon Drill does not count as an aerial maneuver.
#180 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:51:51	Name: Cat Stance Prerequisites: Athletics 1, Kick 1 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +3 Damage Bonus: +0 Round Movement: 5’ Description: The fighter prepares to strike with a kick. The Neko-Ashi-Dachi, or Cat Stance, was developed in Ochalea, and is used mostly by Ochalean styles and a few styles in Thyatis. Almost all balance is shifted to the back leg as the slightly raised front leg comes perpendicular to the left foot. The result is that the leg is ready to strike almost instantaneously. System: It takes a full turn to enter the Cat Stance, during which time the Cat Stance is ruined if the character is damaged, moved, knocked back or knocked down. The next turn the character may perform the basic Kick move with a +3 speed modifier, but the movement of the maneuver is reduced to 5'. Needless to say, some fighters have made this the first Maneuver in a deadly combination of strikes.
#181 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:52:51	Name: Displacement Prerequisites: Block 2, Athletics 2, Punch 1, Esquives Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +2 Damage Bonus: -1 Round Movement: +5’ Description: This move consists of a quick sidestep, which allows the fighter to dodge an oncoming attack. The fighter may then execute a short jab if the opponent is still within range. Many opponents are intensely frustrated by this evasion, which is commonly practiced by Savate fighters. System: This maneuver is completely effective only if the fighter has enough movement to initiate a counterattack and makes a successful Dexterity roll. When the opponent begins his attack, the fighter must make a successful Dexterity roll; otherwise, the Displacement is ineffective. The fighter executing the Displacement may then travel up to his full movement to the left or right of his opponent. Once the opponent's move is completed, the "displaced" fighter may move back in and counterattack if the fighter has any movement left. This maneuver can be used to evade projectiles, although a second Dexterity roll must be made with a -2 penalty. The fighter's Punch Skill is used for the purposes of determining damage.
#182 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:54:20	Name: Diving Hawk Prerequisites: Athletics 3, Focus 1, Jump Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +5 Round Movement: +10’ Description: The ultimate cure for projectile blues. The Diving Hawk maneuver allows a fighter to soar over incoming projectiles and then dive down to crush the missile-throwing opponent. The fighter jumps straight up into the air, then positions his body into a gliding position, emulating a hawk diving at prey. He then soars down to strike his chosen victim with a full-body collision. System: The Diving Hawk is an aerial maneuver. It starts as a vertical Jump (and can dodge projectiles just like a Jump). The fighter subsequently uses his movement to enter his opponent's hex and deal damage.
#183 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:55:34	Name: Dragon's Tail Prerequisites: Athletics 4, Upper Tail Strike Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +5 Round Movement: -2 Description: This Special Maneuver is similar to the Upper Tail Strike, but is more difficult to control and requires greater strength and coordination to perform. The fighter leans forward as if winding up for a powerful uppercut. He then shifts his weight in the other direction while twisting his lower body to snap the tail forward. Using sheer brute strength and momentum, the fighter crashes his tail across the upper body of the target. System: The target suffers a knockdown if airborne; otherwise a grounded target damaged by the Dragon's Tail will be pushed 5' directly away from the fighter.
#184 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:56:51	Name: Drunken Monkey Roll Prerequisites: Athletics 2 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: None Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: +10’ Description: It is said that the unjustly imprisoned founder of Monkey Kung Fu invented this evasive maneuver after watching a group of monkeys through the bars of his jail cell. The monkeys got inebriated on wine thrown out by prison guards and began staggering and rolling around on the ground. Copying the monkeys' drunken antics, the master developed a series of evasive tumbles, which became the Drunken Monkey Roll. System: The Drunken Monkey Roll is a good all-purpose evasive technique. It counts as a Crouching Maneuver because it stays low to the ground. It can also be used to avoid and evade projectile attacks (use the same rules given under the Jump Maneuver).
#185 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:58:08	Name: Esquives Prerequisites: Athletics 2, Block 1 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: None Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: 10’ Description: An evasion technique similar to certain Aikido moves. The fighter simply sidesteps away from the attack, placing himself out of harm's way. As with Boxing, Savate strategies depend a lot upon avoiding an adversary's blows. System: The fighter must succeed in a Dexterity roll to interrupt his attacker. As the opponent attacks, the fighter using Esquives simply moves in any one direction up to 10'. This move is similar to Displacement, except that the fighter may not initiate a counterattack with this move.
#186 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 21:59:38	Name: Flamingo Stance Prerequisites: Athletics 3, Kick 2 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: The fighter adopts a kicking stance, perched on one leg, and spreads out his arms to either side. System: A fighter may assume the Flamingo Stance at any time. While in this stance, all rolls to hit with regular kicks are at +4 To-Hit and +2 Damage added to the normal kick. Disadvantages include that a fighter may not make any other attacks other than kicks while in a Flamingo Stance. If a fighter takes Damage he must spend a Chi point to stay upright.
#187 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:00:56	Name: Flying Body Spear Prerequisites: Athletics 3, Jump Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: +5’ Description: Fighters seem to find an unending variety of ways to use their bodies as weapons. This maneuver involves the fighter jumping into the air and twisting his body into a rotating human torpedo as he descends on his opponent. Some fighters like to cruise down feet first; others lead with their fists or even heads. Because the fighter has his full weight behind him, the Body Spear inflicts a fair amount of damage. System: The Flying Body Spear is an aerial Maneuver that acts like a Jump, enabling the user to dodge missile attacks. The fighter can then spiral down and smash into any opponent within his Move range. The fighter must travel in a straight line and end the move in the 5' space in front of the victim.
#188 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:02:00	Name: Flying Head Butt Prerequisites: Athletics 3, Head Butt, Jump Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: +15’ Description: This move is similar to the Flying Body Spear, except that the fighter leaps horizontally at an opponent, ramming his head first. Because the fighter does not jump up first, the move is a little quicker than the Flying Body Spear, but the low-flying head butt doesn't give the fighter a chance to dodge oncoming missiles. System: The Flying Head Butt is an aerial maneuver. The fighter must travel in a straight line.
#189 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:03:28	Name: Flying Heel Stomp Prerequisites: Athletics 3, Kick 2, Jump Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: +10’ Description: This high-flying aerial assault utilizes a fighter's body weight to hammer an opponent from above. The fighter leaps into the air above his opponent's head and lands heel first on his opponent's head or shoulders. Additionally, the fighter can use his opponent as a springboard to launch away to safety after the attack. System: The fighter can interrupt his own movement with an attack roll and then finish his allowed movement after rolling damage if successful, if the hit misses, then the fighter lands next to the intended target and is done with movement for the round. For example, Leonine can move 70' using her Flying Heel Stomp, and can stop at any point in her movement to attack one opponent. She decides to jump 25', stomp Ragnar, and then finish her movement 45' away. The only limit is that the jump has to be in a straight line from beginning to end. The Flying Heel Stomp is an aerial maneuver and can be used like a Jump move to interrupt and evade a projectile attack (as well as give the would-be attacker a heel-stomping headache).
#190 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:04:11	Name: Flying Punch Prerequisites: Athletics 4, Focus 3, Punch 2, Jump Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: +25’ Description: This move takes a fighter high into the air above and past his opponent and then quickly redirects the attack so that the the punch lands squarely in his opponent's back. This maneuver is considered highly dishonorable. The degree of aerial control practioners exhibit while performing this maneuver lead some to believe that the practitioner is actually flying up and past his opponent be fore swooping back down with an outstretched fist. System: To execute this move, the fighter must actually move 10' past his opponent and move back to the opponent's 5' space as he arcs back downwards to hit his opponent from behind. This attack is considered an aerial maneuver, and halves the amount of damage absorbed by blocks. For example, if a fighter who is blocking gets hit by a Flying Punch, his absorption would normally be determined by his Block Level of 4 (8). But because the Flying Punch is a sucker shot, the fighter's absorption is halved. Fighters lose a honor each time the Flying Punch is used. Alternately, the attack can be done straight forward without the loss of Honor, but the fighter also loses the advantage of halving her opponent's absorption. The attacker ends his movement in the hex behind or in front of his opponent, depending on how the maneuver was used.
#191 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:05:00	Name: Ground Fighting Prerequisites: Athletics 4 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: Most fighting styles prepare a contender for fighting on his feet, but once his back hits the ground, he is at a disadvantage. Fighters from other styles are better prepared for this eventuality, while Pankratiasts train at fighting while grounded. Many Pankratiasts are even known to take their opponent to the ground to take advantage of their contusion. System: This maneuver is simply invoked when the character falls down, has been Thrown, or is otherwise prone. The fighter does not have to rise from the ground to continue fighting (although if he does, he suffers from the standard knockdown penalties when rising). Likewise, he many continue fighting from the ground, using any basic or special maneuver that does not require hip-derived torque or momentum or any aerial maneuvers. This requires some DM discretion on what can or cannot be performed. For instance, a Double Dread Kick would be impossible while a Slide Kick could still be accomplished. Fighters who do not have this maneuver may attempt to fight while on the ground, but at -3 To-Hit and -3 Damage to their own attacks. Individuals fighting ground-based warriors have a number of their own disadvantages. Unaccustomed to fighting someone so low to the ground, any physical strike will be at -2 Damage and -2 To-Hit.
#192 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:05:55	Name: Jump Prerequisites: Athletics 1 Maneuver Cost: 1 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: None Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: +0’ Description: Jump is a relatively simple maneuver that allows a fighter to vault over wall and other obsticles. A lucky fighter might even time his jump to hurdle an arrow and close with his firing enemy. A fighter can jump 6' + (3' per level in Athletics) into the air. For example, a fighter with Athletics 3 can jump 15' into the air. System: A fighter can jump along with either of the basic punch or kick, or he can just jump. If the Jump is played alone, the fighter is simply moving by jumping. The fighter uses the modifiers for Jump shown above. A Jump card played with a basic move represents the fighter jumping to an opponent to deliver the punch or kick. Playing the Jump with a basic move turns the standard punch or kick into an Aerial Maneuver. Whenever a fighter plays a Jump with a basic move, the move's modifiers are used instead of the modifiers for Jump shown above. If the fighter plans to dodge a projectile attack using the Jump, he must wait for an opponent to declare the fighter as the target of the opponent's projectile attack. If the fighter's makes a successful Dexterity roll, he can avoid the opponent's attack and dodge the incoming attack by jumping over it or away from it. If the Dexterity roll is failed, the attacker continues their attack normally, the jumping fighter can be hit by the projectile (he mistimed his leap, or perhaps the attacker managed to blast him out of the air) and must immediately end his turn. If the fighter used the Jump with a punch or kick move, he may be able to dodge over a projectile and still deliver the punch or kick.
#193 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:06:31	Name: Jumping Shoulder Butt Prerequisites: Athletics 2, Jump Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: –5’ Description: The fighter jumps up and into an opponent, ramming his shoulder into the unfortunate victim. System: The Jumping Shoulder Butt can be used against a standing opponent or against an opponent who is aerial. The move can also be used to dodge a projectile, just like the regular Jump Maneuver.
#194 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:07:08	Name: Kick-Up Prerequisites: Kippup, Kick 1 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +0 Round Movement: None Description: Some fighters learn that a basic Kippup is not always enough. When the enemy is already upon him, it is better to come off the ground while delivering a kick to the opponent, than to simply get up. System: This is a normal Kippup, with one difference. After a knockdown, the fighter can choose to delay his Kippup until next round. As the fighter Kippups, he lashes out with his feet.
#195 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:07:43	Name: Kippup Prerequisites: Athletics 2 Maneuver Cost: 1 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: One of the more basic athletic maneuvers martial artists have found useful is the Kippup. The Kippup is a technique that allows a prone fighter to get to his feet almost instantly. The fighter curls his legs up off the ground and kicks them up into the air while at the same time arching his back powerfully. The resulting motion practically bounces the fighter off the ground and to his feet. System: A fighter who knows the Kippup Special Maneuver suffers no penalty the turn after he suffers a knockdown. Kippup effect is automatic but allows no attack action that round.
#196 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:08:22	Name: Light Feet Prerequisites: Athletics 4, Jump Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: See Below To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: The fighter is adept at leaping and moving quickly- more so than other fighters. The fighter's nimble feet enable him to cover greater distances than most other fighters in the Arena. System: This Special Maneuver gives +5' movement to all of the fighter's maneuvers. The fighter can also elect to spend one Chi point during a fight to move an additional 15' as part of an action.
#197 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:09:06	Name: Pounce Prerequisites: Athletics 3, Jump Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: +20’ Description: The fighter drops into a crouch and explodes into a mighty leap at his prey. The ferocity of this maneuver often takes opponents by surprise. Experienced fighters may be tipped off by the low crouch of the fighter as he concentrates on the upcoming leap. System: The fighter hurls himself at his opponent. This is considered an aerial maneuver and can be used to avoid projectiles. The fighter lands on top of his opponent; if any damage is scored, the opponent also suffers a knockdown.
#198 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:09:46	Name: Rolling Attack Prerequisites: Athletics 3 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: +20’ Description: Gravity-defying! A fighter executing this amazing move leaps forward through the air and tucks into a somersault. The fighter then rolls through the air as far as his momentum will take him, or until he slams into an opponent. This is a tough move to learn, and, like any move where a fighter uses his own body as a projectile, the Rolling Attack takes a bit of a kamikaze attitude to use in combat. Besides attacking, Rolling Attack is good for moving across' a battlefield quickly, making long jumps, or smashing through the window of a getaway carriage. System: The character must travel in a straight line and will stop at the first 5' space occupied by a target, which can be a character or any sizable object. After damage is applied to the target, the rolling character will bounce off the target and land 10' in front of the target. The Rolling Attack is an aerial move.
#199 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:10:25	Name: Tail Sweep Prerequisites: Athletics 1, Upper Tail Strike Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: None Description: By crouching low to the ground and spinning around, the fighter may strike with his tail. Of course, the fighter must possess a tail. The tail sweeps out in a circle, smashing into the feet of all opponents in the spaces surrounding the fighter. All targets will suffer damage and a knockdown if hit. Because this is a crouching Maneuver, jumping or airborne targets will not be hit. System: Anyone in the adjacent spaces surrounding the fighter will be attacked and (if damage is done) suffer a knockdown. This includes allies of the fighter who stray too close when the Tail Sweep is used. The Tail Sweep is a Crouching Maneuver.
#200 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:11:02	Name: Thunderstrike Prerequisites: Athletics 2, Jump Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +5 Round Movement: –5’ Description: No one said Atruaghin Wrestling wasn't tough. Fighters aren't opposed to a little full-body contact. A wrestler employing the Thunderstrike leaps right into his opponent, striking him with a shoulder, knee, or whatever. Usually the fighter sweeps his arms back as he jumps, to emulate a bird of prey. System: The fighter's opponent must be standing in the same or an adjacent 5' space when the fighter executes the move. The fighter moves into the opponent's space, rolls the attack and damage for the Thunderstrike, and then finishes his movement. Thunderstrike is an aerial maneuver and enables the user to avoid projectile attacks like a Jump move.
#201 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:11:39	Name: Tumbling Attack Prerequisites: Athletics 3, Backflip Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: -1 Round Movement: +0’ Description: The fighter can propel himself forward into a series of tumbling maneuvers combined with punches or kicks that will knock most opponents out of his way. The Tumbling Attack can hit an unsuspecting opponent several times if it is timed properly. System: Use the modifiers above. Like a Hurricane Kick, the Tumbling Attack has simultaneous movement and damage tests each time the attacker moves a 5' space. When ever the fighter tumbles into the same space as his opponent, he rolls for attack and automatically pushes his opponent back one 5' space. He can continue tumbling into his opponent, pushing him back and damaging him once for each 5', up to the fighter's full movement. The fighter will push his opponent back and make attack rolls until he has moved his full distance or missed an attack, in which he will continue past the opponent. The Tumbling Attack is a crouching maneuver. The attacker moves in a straight line.
#202 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:12:25	Name: Typhoon Tail Prerequisites: Athletics 3, Tail Sweep, Jump Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +5/+2 Round Movement: +1 Description: The Typhoon Tail seems to have been inspired by the Hurricane Kick. The fighter uses his leg muscles to propel himself high into the air. As he descends he pirouettes - tucking his legs beneath his body and allowing the tail to extend in a circle around him. He then angles his descent to strike his target's head. System: The fighter begins the Typhoon Tail by moving up to his designated movement. During this time the fighter is airborne and can avoid projectiles like Jump. Any opponent in the final hex of movement will be hit by the attacker's knees and take damage at a +5 modifier. This opponent is also knocked back 5' along the attacking fighter's trajectory. At this point all fighters in adjacent 5' spaces, including the one just hit, are struck by the spinning tail and are knocked back 5' away from the attacker. The Damage modifier for the second attack is +2.
#203 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:13:00	Name: Upper Tail Strike Prerequisites: Athletics 3 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: +5’ Description: By twisting his hips, the fighter may use his tail to strike at the head of an opponent directly in front of him. The ferocity of such an attack often takes fighters by surprise, especially ones trained to watch only the hands, feet and eyes of an opponent. System: This attack uses the modifiers above. Airborne or jumping opponents will suffer a knockdown if any damage is inflicted. This maneuver requires the fighter to have a thick or strong tail, of course.
#204 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:13:34	Name: Vertical Rolling Attack Prerequisites: Athletics 3, Jump Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: +0’ Description: This move is almost identical to the Rolling Attack, except the fighter leaps up in the air instead of forward. The move is good for knocking down high-jumping opponents or for vaulting over fences or onto roofs. A character using Vertical Rolling Attack can somersault 5' into the air for every level in Athletics (15 feet at Athletics 3, 20 feet at Athletics 4, etc.) System: This maneuver counts as a Jump move for purposes of avoiding and dodging a projectile attack. It will inflict a knockdown on opponents who are aerial. The Vertical Rolling Attack is an aerial maneuver.
#205 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:14:46	Name: Wall Spring Prerequisites: Athletics 3, Jump Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: None Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: +0’/+2’ Description: This move is similar to the regular Jump special move, but it incorporates some wall-bouncing action to give the fighter even greater range and height. Springing off a wall can be used to add 10 more feet to a vertical jump. System: The character can jump normally, up to his full Move. Additionally, if he aims for a wall, he can actually bounce off the wall with a good push of the legs and travel another full movement plus 10' away. The fighter must bounce off the wall at the opposite angle he jumped into it, unless he jumped straight at the wall, in which case he springs straight back. Like a regular Jump, Wall Spring can be played with either basic punch or kick. Use the basic move's To-Hit and Damage modifiers, but use the Wall Spring's Movement modifiers. So, a fighter can jump into and spring off a wall, but end with a kick or punch. The Wall Spring is an aerial maneuver of the highest order.
#206 zombiegleemax Dec 14, 2005 22:22:12	Now just the focus moves are left. I have a question for anyone interested. The Kick move called Great Wall of China needs a different name obviously. Any suggestions? The name is a link for those who don't see it. The only thing that comes to mind to me is Great Wall of Ochalea, but I'm not aware of anything like that there. It is a move that will originate from Ochalea, mostly from Wu Shu artists. Maybe there is another monument in Ochalea that could replace the name?
#207 spellweaver Dec 15, 2005 2:25:58	My God, man! Are you trying to catch up with the Planescape forum all by yourself? :D Nice work! :-) Jesper
#208 zombiegleemax Dec 15, 2005 7:16:43	Thanks Spellweaver. I decided to work this project on the boards for 2 reasons. First to get the opinions of other DMs and players. Second to put as many posts on the boards as I can without too much useless spamming. :D
#209 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:15:09	Name: Absorbing Barrier Prerequisites: Focus 4, Reflecting Barrier Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: 5’ Description: This is the ability to create an energy barrier which will absorb the chi from incoming energy attacks or spells. System: The Absorbing Barrier lasts for one round; if used to block an energy attack (fireball, sonic boom, etc.), the total damage inflicted by that attack is instead added to the character's current Chi. If the Absorbing Barrier is used offensively it functions in the same manner as an Energy Barrier. A fighter can absorb more Chi than his max, but it will fade away at a rate of 1d4 points per round, until the total returns to the max. A fighter can use this extra Chi as they wish and it will stop fading once it reaches the normal max amount.
#210 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:16:16	Name: Acid Breath Prerequisites: Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +3/+0/-3 Round Movement: –5’ Description: A foul power that only a few loathsome fighters have developed. Fighters using Acid Breath are able to churn their gastric acid into a highly toxic mixture, which they then vomit forth from their mouths in a projectile spray at any nearby opponent. The acid burns the opponent, causing ugly injuries that take a long time to heal. The worst part about being hit with Acid Breath is that the acid continues to burn the fighter after the initial impact, causing more bodily damage and eating away clothing, fabric and any other dissolvable materials the acid hits. Some believe the Acid Breath is a mutant power that only a few unique individuals possess. Others believe that fighters who have mastered Acid Breath use their Chi to alter their stomachs' natural acid into a highly potent chemical weapon. System: The spray has a range equal to the fighter's Constitution rating, and the fighter must have line-of-sight to hit his intended victim. Once the acid spray hits, it immediately inflicts damage using the +3 modifier. The following combat round, unless the victim of the Acid Breath has been immersed in water or some other purgative method has been employed, the acid continues to burn the victim's body. At the very end of the combat round, after all actions have been completed, the acid damages again at the +0 modifier. Finally, on the third round, the acid damages for the last time using the -3 damage modifier. Characters hit with more than one dose of Acid Breath in quick succession could suffer several different damage rolls against them at the end of each round. Acid Breath can be dodged like any other projectile attack.
#211 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:16:57	Name: Air Blast Prerequisites: Focus 4, Punch 1 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: None Description: The mystic can summon a burst of air and direct it at his opponents. This blast comes from nowhere and often catches unwary opponents off guard. System: The user of an Air Blast must have a clear line of sight to the target. The range of a blast equals the character's Wisdom + Focus, in feet. While the Air Blast is treated like a projectile, it is not visible to the common eye. Only those fighters who make a successful Blind Fighting skill roll can attempt to avoid this attack. If not detected it hits automatically.
#212 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:17:40	Name: Awareness Prerequisites: Focus 4, Athletics 3 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: None To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: Also known as Zanshin, this power grants the character a natural sense of when others are approaching them with hostile intent. System: The character cannot be taken by surprise while conscious.
#213 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:18:29	Name: Balance Prerequisites: Focus 4 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: None To Hit: Passive Damage Bonus: Passive Round Movement: +5’ Aerial Description: By focusing his inner being, the fighter may reduce his mass to such a point that he can become effectively weightless at will. A fighter using this ability may stand on someone's outstretched arm without him feeling the fighters weight. It is said that this ability was developed by fighters who watched Sind fakirs lying down on beds of nails without being harmed. Specialists can actually dance upon the head of a pin. System: This ability is always in effect and allows the fighter to add +5' to movement when using an aerial maneuver.
#214 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:19:14	Name: Calm Minds Prerequisites: Focus 4, Telepathy Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: None Description: This power enables the character to radiate calm, such that he can quell aggression in others. System: When this power is used everyone within a number of feet equal to the character's Wisdom + Focus level must make a Save Throw vs. Spells or lose any aggression they have for the next six rounds.
#215 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:20:27	Name: Chi Kung Healing Prerequisites: Focus 4 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: See Below To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: –5’ Description: Ancient Ochalean doctors could reputably work healing miracles by focusing their own Chi into their patient. This healing combines acupressure and an actual "laying on of hands" wherein the healer touches the patient to infuse the patient with additional Chi. This healing power is relatively rare among fighters, but some styles teach the philosophy that the ability to heal must be taught along with the ability to hurt. System: A character who uses Chi Kung Healing in the midst of combat must enter the same space as his patient and then execute the healing process. Like the Regeneration maneuver, the healer can restore 2d4 lost hit points per point of Chi the healer spends. The healer can spend Chi points up to his Focus level per turn of healing. The healer can not use this ability on himself however.
#216 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:22:20	Name: Chi Push (Buddhist Palm) Prerequisites: Focus 4, Chi Kung Healing Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 3/+1 To Hit: -3 Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: None Description: The Chi Kung masters are able to use their Chi to shatter rocks with a gentle touch or even a gesture from feet away. Like Chi Kung Healing, Chi Kung Push focuses their Chi into the target, but, instead of healing, the Chi is used to topple or destroy the target. System: The basic damage bonus done by the maneuver is +3, +1 for each extra point of Chi the practitioner spends beyond the initial 3 required to use. The practitioner must choose what to do with their damage: the maneuver's damage may be reduced by one point to throw the target back by 5'. The maneuver may also be done without touching the target: every 5' between the target and the practitioner subtracts two points of damage. Chi Push has no effect on someone using the San He maneuver. Furthermore, the target may add points to their absorption while blocking by spending 2 Chi per 1 point of damage.
#217 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:22:58	Name: Cobra Charm Prerequisites: Focus 2 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: –5’ Description: Kabaddi stylists are masters of mental powers. Having mastered the hypnotic trick of charming cobras with flute music, they are able to apply their hypnotic influence to other humans. System: A martial artist using Cobra Charm must be close enough to his victim to gaze into his eyes, establishing the hypnotic contact. He must be within 15' of the opponent. Once eye contact is established, the intended charmed makes a Save Throw vs. Spells. If the charmer wins, the hypnotic spell is established; otherwise, there is no effect. Once the Cobra Charm has begun, it works similarly to a Sustained Hold for Grappling, except that between each turn the victim and the charmer compare Intelligence rolls, by rolling 1d6 and adding their Intelligence bonus to the roll, to see if the hypnotic hold is broken. If the victim is ever hurt, the charm Is immediately broken. While hypnotized, the victim will do nothing except follow very basic commands given by the hypnotist such as moving, lying down, etc. The hypnotist can only the move while maintaining the hypnotic hold, because he must concentrate on his subject. If the charmer and his victim are ever separated by more than 15', the hold is broken.
#218 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:23:34	Name: Death's Visage Prerequisites: Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: None Description: With a special hand sign, the Ninja draws forth the fear in an opponent's heart and manifests it on his own face, especially his eyes. Only a truly brave fighter can shrug off the effects and attack the Ninja. System: All within sight of the user of this hand symbol must succeed in a Save Throw vs. Spells with a penalty equal to the Ninja's Focus level. Anyone who fails the test must get as far away from the Ninja as possible. This is considered a Sustained Action (similar to a Sustained Hold), and overwhelmed opponents will continue to flee from the Ninja until they succeed in a Save Throw or until three combat rounds have passed. Successful fighters may move and attack normally.
#219 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:24:13	Name: Drain Prerequisites: Focus 4 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: –5’ Description: Truly a vicious power, Drain causes the target to become dehydrated and weakened. The water held by the target's body actually seeps through his pores. A fighter may not even be aware that he is being dehydrated, until he passes out. Affected fighters appear to glisten with sweat, even in extremely cold weather. System: This is a projectile attack similar to Fireball, and can be dodged, even though there is no outward sign of a projectile. Characters who make a successful Wisdom roll will notice the projectile. A target struck suffers 1 hit point of damage only. The following round the target will also suffer a -1 To-Hit and a -5' movement penalty. This penalty will accumulate for a number of rounds equal to 1d4+level of Focus. Once the victim reaches 0' movement, he passes out. The victim will continue to dehydrate unless he succeeds in a Save Throw vs. Paralysis, which can be attempted each round. Another way to hold off the effects is to drink a pint of water each round the Save Throw fails, but no other action can be taken that round except movement. The victim also loses their Dexterity bonus to their AC if they are drinking.
#220 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:24:53	Name: Drench Prerequisites: Focus 4, Punch 1 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: –5’ Description: A portion of the mystic's body transforms into a huge fist of liquid and lashes out at the target. This power usually originates from the fighter's extended arm, but may be projected from any part of the body, such as the back or head (which makes the Drench unpredictable). System: The range of Drench equals the mystic's Wisdom + Focus level. This is a Focus-based maneuver; however, damage is determined according to the fighter's Punch Technique and the modifiers listed above.
#221 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:25:58	Name: Elemental Skin Prerequisites: Focus 5 Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: None Damage Bonus: Varies Round Movement: None Description: The mystic is able to transform his body into the elemental essence in which he chooses. The effects vary but always last for a short time, during which the mystic usually closes with his luckless opponent. System: The following modifiers apply to combat against mystics using elementals of the different types. These effects last for a number of turns equal to the mystic's Focus level. Fire: Anyone who attacks the mystic in this form may take damage from striking the mystic. The mystic uses his Focus level to determine damage. All punching, grabbing or kicking attacks by the mystic have an additional +1 damage modifier. Water: Any attack that successfully damages the mystic in this form subtracts from the damage done by using the mystic's damage rating in Focus. For example if the mystic his hit and damaged for 13 points, he then rolls 1d30 (Focus level 5 damage rating) and rolls an 11, so he subtracts that from the opponents damage roll and only suffers 2 points of damage. A mystic can not receive positive points for this, so if he had rolled 14, he would only ignore the 13 points of damage. Air: All aerial maneuvers against the mystic suffer a -2 penalty on the attack's Damage modifier. All projectile attacks such as fireballs cause less damage (similar to the Water effect, above). A mystic in this form can also jump twice the normal distance and their movement rates are doubled. Earth: All punching or kicking attacks aimed at the elemental suffer a -2 penalty on the attacker's To-Hit and Damage modifiers. When in this form the elemental cannot be thrown and is unaffected by knockdowns.
#222 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:26:37	Name: Elemental Stride Prerequisites: Focus 5 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: See Below Description: Similar to the Yoga Teleport, except that the mystic melds into his element and travels through it to appear magically in another place. The same element must also be in this second area. Thus, a mystic using water may dissolve into one pool of water only to appear suddenly out of another the next round. System: Striding fighters may move invisibly through the element at a rate of Constitution + Focus feet per round.
#223 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:27:31	Name: Entrancing Cobra Prerequisites: Focus 2 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: –5’ Description: By gesturing with this particular hand sign, the Ninja can confuse an opponent. The intricate weaving of the Ninja's fingers through the air baffles the target with its grace and complexity. Simple-minded opponents will stare for hours at the writhing hands of a Ninja master, or at least until the Ninja returns them to their senses with another attack. System: The Ninja must succeed in a combined roll of 1d6 added to his Dexterity bonus + Focus versus the target's Wisdom + Focus added to 1d6. If the Ninja wins, treat the target as if he is stunned the next turn. For example. Leonine attempts to entrance Seraphim. Leonine makes a roll of 4 and then adds her bonus for dexterity (+2), making it 6 and then her level of Focus (3), making the total roll a 9. Seraphim then rolls 1d6 and gets a 6. She adds her Wisdom bonus (+1) to make it 7 and then her level of Focus (1), which makes her total an 8. Therefore she is entranced by Leonine's intricate hand movements and will be stunned automatically with no Saving Throw allowed.
#224 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:34:53	Name: Envelop Prerequisites: Focus 5, Grab 2, Drench Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +1/-1 Round Movement: –10’ Description: This power produces two fists similar to those produced by the Drench power. Both fists attempt to grapple the target and, if successful, will cover him completely. An Enveloped fighter will begin to drown. Most mystics will only sustain this hold until their target passes out. Truly evil fighters will sustain it longer. System: The Envelop functions much like a Grab Maneuver. If two fighters are engaged in a Sustained Hold and are in the same space, then both will be affected. Each round the target must succeed in a Constitution test to see if he is stunned by lack of oxygen. The range of the Envelop extends a number of feet equal to 5 times the mystic's Focus level and requires an unobstructed line of sight. Envelop is a Sustained Hold and may be maintained a number of rounds equal to the mystic's Focus level. If the line of sight is broken by an obstacle or another fighter, the Envelop is dispelled. Unlike most Sustained Holds, the target may move and fight normally, except that all actions are penalized at -2.
#225 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:35:46	Name: Extendible Limbs Prerequisites: Focus 4 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: This remarkable power is acquired only after long and intense meditation by Kabaddi masters. They study unsolvable riddles of dimensional space, expanding their minds to understand the true nature of distance. In the end, the Kabaddi master acquires the superhuman ability to stretch his limbs far beyond their normal length. The limb actually appears to telescope out into space. Kabaddi masters make great use of this ability in combat, extending their limbs to attack opponents from a safe distance or kicking aerial opponents out of the sky before they can close with the Kabaddi master. Outside of combat, the ability proves useful for all manner of things: reaching otherwise unattainable objects, grabbing ledges far overhead, snaking an arm through a tight squeeze to grab jail keys or even extending a finger down a drain pipe to collect a lost article. System: Fighters who possess this ability can use it at any time without penalty. The power is simply combined with either of the basic punch or kick moves to give the attack extra range. The character can extend his limbs a number of feet equal to 5x his Focus level. So for example, Rajra, with an amazing Focus level of 5, can extend his limbs to hit an opponent 25' away. The only drawback to the maneuver is that the fighter's extended limbs are vulnerable to attack. If any opponent attacks the fighter's stretching attack the opponent can damage the stretching character by hitting him in any space through which his limbs extend (including hitting the fighter's extending fist or foot).
#226 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:36:40	Name: Fire Strike Prerequisites: Focus 5, Flaming Fist Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: None Description: A long gout of flame extends from the mystic's hands, setting ablaze anything in its path. Most mystics shoot the flame from their hands, but it can come from any part of the body. The flame extends in a straight line from the fighter. System: The character uses the modifiers above to produce a long gout of flame that is in effect a "line of death" on the arena floor. The fighter uses his Focus level to determine the length of the flame in 5' squares. Each level is equal to one 5' space. The Fire Strike must travel in a straight line and, like the Yoga Flame, occupies the spaces for the duration of the combat round. This damage is applied to any character standing within the affected space.
#227 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:37:18	Name: Fireball Prerequisites: Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: None Description: Some Fighters have harnessed their internal Chi to such a degree that they can explode this energy out of their bodies as fiery projectiles. The fighter must undergo rigorous mental and spiritual training to harmonize his body's flow of Chi until this attack can be called upon instantly. Most fighters project the fiery blasts from their palms, but Kabaddi stylists are known for launching the fire from their mouths. These yoga masters concentrate their Chi into their stomachs until their very vitals heat red-hot, and then they vomit the energy toward their opponent as a fireball projectile. Fireballs can be used to ignite combustible objects like paper, dry wood, oil, etc. They also make decent light sources. If a character launches a fireball straight up, the immediate area will be dimly lit for a couple of rounds. System: Fireballs have a range equal to the projecting character's Wisdom + Focus. For example, Seraphim has a Focus of 5 and a Wisdom of 14, so her fireballs have a range of 19'! As with all projectile attacks, the attacker must have an unobstructed line-of-sight on his intended victim. There is no Save Throw to avoid this projectile. It works as if the fireball was thrown like a rock and uses the normal To-Hit rolls to determine if it hits. This is the case for all fireballs.
#228 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:38:04	Name: Fireburst Prerequisites: Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: 5’ Description: This maneuver, similar to a fireball, involves creating a large sphere of energy between one's hands and pushing this into an enemy at close range. System: A firebust can only affect opponents in the same 5' space or a 5' space adjacent to the attacker.
#229 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:38:42	Name: Firestar Prerequisites: Focus 4, Fireburst Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 4 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: +8 Round Movement: None Description: This is a vastly powerful version of the Fireburst maneuver. When it is initiated, a sphere of glowing energy expands outward from the attackers hands, affecting all targets within its area. System: A Firestar covers a 10' radius around the attacker; everyone within that area takes damage as noted above. Any victim that succeeds in a Save Throw vs. Dragon Breath will take half damage.
#230 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:39:23	Name: Flaming Fireball Prerequisites: Heatwave, Improved Fireball Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -3 Damage Bonus: +5 Round Movement: None Description: Whereas other fireballs are merely Chi blasts, the flaming fireball is a real, incendiary attack, which is more powerful than a normal fireball. System: This works basically the same as a normal Fireball, except that it is highly incendiary in nature, and upon hitting, will inflict full damage to the target, and half damage to anything in a 5' radius. Like an Improved Fireball, it will score a knockdown on any opponents it hits.
#231 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:40:07	Name: Flaming Fist Prerequisites: Focus 3, Punch 1 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +3 Round Movement: +0’ Description: The mystic can surround his hands with flames for brief periods of time, causing his foes additional damage or setting things on fire. His fist blazes for a moment before he strikes his opponent and then dies down once the blow has landed. System: Add the Damage modifier above to the basic punch. The Flaming Fist does not affect the To-Hit or movement of the maneuver, only the Damage.
#232 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:40:43	Name: Flight Prerequisites: Focus 5, Athletics 1 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: See Below Description: Mystics can summon the winds to propel themselves through the air. Usually this is accompanied by a gust of wind that whips any loose objects hither and yon. The possessor of this skill can also fly without creating the associated disturbance (though few do--the wind blast is wonderfully dramatic). System: Outside of combat this power allows the fighter to fly without tiring, at a speed equal to Focus x 10 miles per hour. He can lift any amount of weight he would normally be able to carry on the ground. In combat, the player must stand still for a full 5 rounds while activating the Flight power. He may block, but cannot initiate any offensive attacks. The following turn the fighter will be treated as an airborne target, and may attack and move normally, using the modifiers below in addition to any provided by the move he decides to use. His movement per round in feet will increase by 5x his Focus level. Furthermore, he is only affected by aerial maneuvers or by projectile attacks.
#233 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:41:30	Name: Flying Fireball Prerequisites: Focus 4, Fireball, Jump Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: +0’ Description: Veteran mystics have begun to develop methods of keeping their high-jumping opponents from leaping over fireballs. These veterans are taking the battle to the air, jumping up and launching their fireballs in midair. System: The Flying Fireball is identical to the standard Fireball power, except that opponents cannot dodge the Flying Fireball with Jump or similar aerial maneuvers. Line-of-sight restrictions still apply.
#234 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:42:09	Name: Force Shout Prerequisites: Focus 3, Stunning Shout Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +2 Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: –10’ Description: This is an advanced form of the Stunning Shout which enables the character to yell with such power that they can actually physically knock over opponents. System: A Force Shout must be directed at one opponent; the victim must make a Save Throw vs. Dragon Breath; if they do not succeed they will suffer a knockdown.
#235 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:42:41	Name: Ghost Form Prerequisites: Focus 5 Maneuver Cost: 7 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi on the first round / 2 Chi to maintain To Hit: None Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: +0’ Description: Tales are told of crypts found in ancient temples amid the Black mountains. There, the bones of ancient monks can be found imbedded in walls of solid rock. How the monks' remains became thus interred remains a mystery to all but a few Kabaddi masters. These masters know of the disciplines practiced at the temples - disciplines that led to the deaths of many monks, but led to the mastery of mind over matter. The monks developed the power to turn their bodies into an insubstantial, ghostly form, allowing them to pass through any solid object unharmed and then solidify their bodies back to normal. It is rumored that the very first monks who perfected this technique actually became trapped in their ghost forms, unable to transform their bodies back into solid matter. The same rumors purport that these ancient masters still roam the world. System: Nothing solid will affect a character in Ghost Form. Energy like fire and electricity will still affect him, but arrows, ice blasts, fists and kicks will pass harmlessly through his body. The character cannot attack or use any other maneuvers while in Ghost Form, but he can move and pass through walls, floors, and even people. Ghost Form can be played during a turn that the character is caught in a Sustained Hold, allowing the character to walk right out of the hold. A character's clothing and personal possessions of small size can be turned insubstantial and follow the character in Ghost Form.
#236 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:43:33	Name: Ground Ice Prerequisites: Focus 4, Ice Blast Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +2 Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: None Description: The character covers the ground in front of him with slippery ice by use of channeling his chi. System: The mystic makes the ground in front of the victim solid ice. Affects three 5' adjacent spaces in front of the user. Anyone touching the ground is automatically knocked down, and receives -3 to any to-hit rolls the next round. The ice remains 2 rounds, so anyone staying in place will fall again. Characters may jump safely across, as long as they are able to jump the full distance, or they will fall when they land.
#237 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:44:31	Name: Guided Fireball Prerequisites: Focus 4, Fireball Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: -1 Round Movement: 5’ Description: This maneuver allows the character to actually guide the paths of their projectile attacks. System: This allows the fireball to turn corners and such. A fireball can stay active for a number of rounds equal to the character's Focus level before dissipating. Controlling its course counts as an action, and it may be re-aimed once per round. The modifiers listed below are in addition to those of the projectile attack used. The mystic can take no other action or be attacked without losing control of the projectile.
#238 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:45:05	Name: Heal Prerequisites: Focus 5 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: See Below To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: –5’ Description: By drawing upon the Earth's essence and power, the mystic may transform his own internal energies into a healing aura. This is very similar to Kung Fu's Chi Kung Healing ability, but it may also be used to heal animals and environmental damage. System: The character must be able to touch the person or animal to be healed. One 2d4 hit points are restored per point of Chi the character spends. This power also extends to the natural world, and it is not unusual for mystics to be seen using it to clean up polluted rivers, destroyed foliage and such. In nature, one Chi purifies up to ten square feet of polluted area. Certain especially polluted areas may require more than one Chi per ten square feet. This can also be used on undead and act as damage using the focus damage rating.
#239 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:45:41	Name: Heatwave Prerequisites: Focus 5 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: +0’ Description: The mystic can suddenly raise the temperature around a person or object- making the air difficult to breathe and disorienting an opponent. A person affected by this feels as though he's suddenly stepped inside an oven. Dizziness and nausea often follow. System: The mystic rolls damage, but only for the purposes of calculating disorientation. The opponent actually takes no damage. This maneuver bypasses any bonuses the opponent gets from blocks and ignores the AC from normal armor. This is considered a projectile and can be dodged as such. If the opponent receives more points of damage than his Constitution statistic, then he is considered disoriented and all rolls to-hit and damage are halved for the next round as well as movement.
#240 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:46:16	Name: Ice Blast Prerequisites: Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: None Description: No one knows from what martial style this attack comes. Its origins are so secret, and the maneuver is seen so rarely, that many believe it to be a superhuman magic power rather than a trained ability. Fighters who are able to project the Ice Blast can throw a wave of frost, snow, and sharp ice particles from their hands. Kung Fu masters say that the Ice Blast fighter uses negative Yang Chi to supercool the air into the icy projectile. Characters who have mastered the Ice Blast are seldom uncomfortable even in very cold climates. They can sleep in meat freezers and wake up refreshed. To other people, the character's skin is always cold to the touch. System: The Ice Blast is similar to other projectile attacks. It has a range equal to the character's Wisdom + Focus and can be dodged by Maneuvers such as Jump. The attacker must have line-of-sight on his victim. A victim who suffers damage is encased in sheets of thick ice that freeze him in place. The victim can attempt to break free of the ice at the end of each combat round. He must succeed in an 4 accumulated Strength rolls to break free. For example, a Strength 13 character is hit by the Ice Blast. After the round is over, he rolls dice rolls one 20 sided die plus another for every bonus to strength, this round he will roll 1d20, twice, to break free. He succeeds in both rolls, but still needs 2 more successes. He is still frozen stiff through the next round. After that second round, he rolls again, scoring two more successes. He now breaks free of the ice. Alternatively, if a frozen character is hit, the ice shatters (but the character still takes damage).
#241 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:46:49	Name: Ice-Crystal Blast Prerequisites: Focus 4, Ice Blast Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: -3 Damage Bonus: +5 Round Movement: None Description: This technique is a deadlier version of the Ice Blast. It can be projected out like a missile. System: The opponent won't be frozen. The Blast fires like a cone making it harder to avoid. Within 5' of the attacker use the stats above. For every 5' more the To-Hit roll is increased by 1 and the damage is reduced by one. The ice crystals will have a range equal to 5x the level of Focus in feet.
#242 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:47:26	Name: Improved Fireball Prerequisites: Focus 5, Fireball Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: None Description: This is a Fireball that has been further perfected it into a faster, more destructive attack. System: The Improved Fireball is the same as a regular Fireball except that its modifiers are better and it will score a knockdown on any opponent it damages unless the opponent blocks.
#243 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:48:01	Name: Inferno Strike Prerequisites: Focus 5, Improved Fireball Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: None Description: Instant bonfire! The Inferno Strike takes the basic Fireball and elevates it to a whole new level of destructiveness. Instead of sending a flaming projectile at an opponent, the master of Inferno Strike emits a meteor-size, flaming boulder that obliterates a large area and anyone in it. System: The fighter must choose any line-of-sight space within range. Range is calculated as Wisdom + Focus like other Fireball maneuvers. The Inferno Strike hits in the targeted space and explodes into all the 5' spaces adjacent to the targeted 5' space. Anyone in any of the spaces affected suffers damage using the modifier above. Anyone using a Jump or similar special maneuver that can dodge Fireballs can also attempt to dodge the Inferno Strike.
#244 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:48:38	Name: Kongjin Prerequisites: Focus 4 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: None Description: The power of kongjin, or "empty force" allows one to strike from a distance. It is also known as "one finger" from the training method used, whereby the student attempts to move an iron bell suspended from a well or hallway by projecting chi through one finger. System: Kongjin can be played with either basic punch of kick maneuver. When it is used, a maneuver may affect opponents up to 10' away per level of Focus, without touching them. A Kongjin strike cannot be blocked, also all armor effects on AC are ignored. Only natural toughness and Dexterity apply to AC against this attack.
#245 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:49:20	Name: Leech Prerequisites: Focus 3, Grab 2 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: See Below To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: None Description: No one knows what ancient order developed this power, although a few Kabaddi masters speculate that it descended from the Hule Empire. They believe that this ability was researched by the wise men of some court in a futile attempt to discover immortality. The ruler believed that the life energies of his foes would be able to sustain his life throughout the centuries. Leech is similar to the Regeneration power, except that each Chi spent allows a combatant to drain hit points from his opponent and transfer it to himself. To use this power, the fighter must be able to touch his opponent. System: No other actions may be initiated once Leech has begun. A fighter may attack and then use Leech, but not the other way around. For each Chi spent, one roll of damage will be transferred from the target to the attacker. The maximum number of Chi that may be spent equals the attacker's Focus level. An attacker may not increase his hit points beyond his maximum. A target must be successfully grabbed in a Sustained Hold before Leech may be used. The hold is treated as still being in effect for purposes of the target breaking the hold, except that damage is allocated as above instead of by the original hold's modifiers.
#246 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:49:57	Name: Levitation Prerequisites: Focus 5 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: By intense concentration and inner control, the practitioner may lift his body from the ground, usually sitting in the lotus position - legs crossed, back straight, palms together in front of the chest. System: The practitioner may move up to 5x their Focus level in feet per turn in any direction they choose (up, down, sideways) by spending two Chi per round.
#247 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:50:30	Name: Lightness Prerequisites: Focus 5, Athletics 2 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +1/+2 Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: +1/+3 Description: This power reduces the weight of the target, allowing him to jump quicker and farther than normal. System: The affected fighter may add +2 to his To-Hit rolls and +15' to his movement for all Jump-enhanced maneuvers next round. The mystic is not required to concentrate on the effect during the round, and may move and attack normally. Lightness lasts for a number of rounds equal to the mystic's Focus level. The mystic will also receive a +1 to all hit rolls for ground based attacks during the duration.
#248 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:51:37	Name: Lightning Prerequisites: Focus 5, Shock Treatment Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +2 Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: None Description: It is said by some that if a practitioner of the Arts can focus himself to a master's degree, he can send his very Chi from his body in the form of lightning, striking his opponents down with the fury of the immortals. System: The lightning has a range equal to Wisdom + Focus level. Anyone in the path of the Lightning is struck, and can pass through the first target and continue on, without any penalty to attack or damage, for the full length of it's range.. This is considered a projectile attack.
#249 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:52:11	Name: Mental Blast Prerequisites: Focus 3, Telepathy Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +2 Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: +0’ Description: The fighter uses mental energy to strike an opponent's mind, causing temporary confusion and pain. System: The fighter attacks with a normal To-Hit roll. The victim's armor has no effect on his AC. If the attacker hits, the victim must make a Save Throw vs. Death Ray or be stunned for the next round. The power has a range, in feet, equal to the attackers (Focus level +3) x 5.
#250 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:52:45	Name: Mind Control Prerequisites: Focus 5, Psychic Vise, Mind Reading Maneuver Cost: 7 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: None Description: After shattering an opponent's resolve, the Master of Hule can directly control his actions. His every command must be obeyed. No one but the Master has ever been seen wielding such power, but there are persistent rumors of a promising student who is every bit as dark as the Master and has apparently learned this secret as well. System: This power can be used to exert control over any opponent. The victim must be within a number of feet equal to the attacker's Focus level + Wisdom. A contested roll of Intelligence versus Intelligence is made. If the attacker has a higher total than his opponent on the roll, he has taken control over his opponent's actions. The duration of the psychic control depends upon the number of points more higher he rolled than the victim. 1 to 2 Points - 10 rounds / 3 to 4 Points - 1 Hour / 5 to 8 Points - 1 Day / 9 to 12 Points - 1 Week / 13+ Points - 1 Month. It is rumored that the Master has several servants who are permanently under his control in this fashion. This type of conditioning is possible, but it would take a considerable amount of time and repeated uses of the Mind Control power. Any individual with a Lawful alignment cannot be easily affected by this power and will get a bonus +5 to their roll. In addition, a victim of Mind Control can make a contested roll between his Wisdom (with a +5 bonus to his roll) and his controller's Intelligence in order to resist a command that goes against his own moral code or survival instinct (such as attacking friends or jumping off a cliff). If the victim is successful, then he resists the command, but is still under Mind Control.
#251 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:53:25	Name: Mind Reading Prerequisites: Focus 4, Telepathy Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: None Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: None Description: How can you survive against an opponent who knows your next move before you make it? Such is the mental power of some mystic martial artists that they can scan the thoughts of their opponents and predict their next moves. System: The Mind Reading maneuver is not played during a combat round. Instead, the player announces in between combat rounds that his character is using Mind Reading. The character spends two Chi and selects one opponent as the target of the mental scan. The opponent then gets to attempt a Save Throw vs. Spells. If the Mind Reading character succeeds, the opponent must reveal his plans for the round to the player of the Mind Reading character. The opponent must attempt to do as he claimed on the next combat round. The victim must be within a number of feet equal to the mind reader's Wisdom + Focus level. When Mind Reading is used in non-combat scenes, the DM can decide what information a character gains from a successful Mind Reading. The victim will not realize that his mind is being read unless the save throw is successful, and then may change his plan after telling the Mind Reader what he was planning.
#252 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:54:13	Name: Musical Accompaniment Prerequisites: Focus 1 Maneuver Cost: 2 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: Many Capoeira stylists like fighting to the rhythm of music. Their dancelike fighting style is in its prime when music accompanies their fight. Music allows a fighter to put his soul and energy into the combat. System: If there is background music that fits the fighter's particular training preference, he gets a +1 bonus to either To-Hit, Damage, or +5' movement each round. At the beginning of the round, the player must declare the modifier to which he is applying the bonus that round. He can change each round.
#253 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:56:07	Name: One with the Universe Prerequisites: Focus 5, Punch 4, Kick 4, Athletics 4, Block 4, Grab 3, Psychokinetic Channeling, Chi Kung Healing, Zen No Mind, must know at least 20 other special moves Maneuver Cost: 10 Any Style Usage Cost: 10 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: The character can enter moments where he can do almost anything he can imagine. He can feel the universe and for a short moment he is supreme. System: No one known has ever learned this maneuver, but there is a persistent rumor that it does exist, somewhere, or that one with great Focus and determination can teach it to himself. The character, for a brief moment (one round, becomes extremely powerful, flowing with the universe. The character can, for one round only, perform any maneuver, one he knows or even one he has not learned or ones that are not associated with his style! This does not include Focus Maneuvers. In addition, his action has a +2 to any rolls. The character adds his full Block level to his absorption for damage purposes in conjunction with whatever maneuver he chose (if he has chosen a block maneuver, he might add his absorption twice!) Finally, anyone using a maneuver or performing an action against the character is at -2 penalty on their rolls. The character cannot perform One With the Universe again for at least a week.
#254 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:56:50	Name: Pit Prerequisites: Focus 5, Wall Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: –5’ Description: A gaping hole is torn out of the earth beneath the mystic's opponent. Many fighters are caught off guard by this maneuver. System: In order to be effective, the mystic must select a 5' space as the target for the pit. Any fighter who ends his movement or passes over this space falls into the pit. Use the modifiers above for damage from the fall. The pit is five feet deep plus one additional foot per level in the mystic's Focus level. Fighters who fall into the pit must spend their next round climbing out. Pits should be marked on the map because, once created, a pit is permanent. This power will not work if the fighter is not in contact with the ground; even thin wooden planks will negate this maneuver. Using Pit in an arena will result in the anger of the owner, because of the damage it causes. Fighters will often be asked to make reparations.
#255 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 9:57:21	Name: Pool Prerequisites: Focus 5 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: None Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: –10’ Description: The body of the fighter dissolves into a pool of clear water, which cannot be damaged by physical attacks or projectiles. The fighter is able to move underneath and around thin obstacles, such as crates and poles, or under doors that are not watertight. System: Physical maneuvers will not affect the character, who can still move, although Focus-based maneuvers like Ice Blast and Fireball will still damage him. Also mental attacks and spells will affect the fighter as normal.
#256 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 10:01:18	Have to go get a baby crib. I'll finish posting the rest later and then I'll be diving into the styles.
#257 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:29:50	Name: Power Rings Prerequisites: Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: None Description: The fighter uses his Chi to create a wave of power that forms into the shape of glowing rings that fly out every direction into any opponents within range. System: The range of this projectile attack is equal to the attacker's Intelligence + Focus.
#258 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:31:03	Name: Psychic Rage Prerequisites: Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: None Description: Also called the Poison Haze, this is the dreaded power of the magical style of Hule known as Muay Drit. Psychic Rage pushes honorable fighters into fits of berserk battle fury. In this fury, the opponent is capable of delivering devastating damage, but he will also give absolutely no thought to his own safety and precious little thought to the morality of his actions. Victims of Psychic Rage have been known to turn on their own teammates in fits of blind fury. System: The Muay Drit stylist using Psychic Rage selects an opponent. The victim must be within a number of feet equal to the attacker's Focus + Wisdom. The victim must then must succeed in a Save Throw vs. Death Ray. If the victim is not successful, the enters a berserker fury. The victim will only be able to attack with his most damaging attacks: the battle fury will drive them to use their most powerful attacks. He will spend Chi as needed until he runs out. Furthermore, he will be incapable of any Block maneuvers. After each round the victim has suffered Psychic Rage (not counting the first round he is affected), the victim can roll attempt a Save Throw vs. Spells, with a penalty equal to the attackers Focus level, to break free of the Psychic Rage. The rage will automatically end if the attacker or the victim is knocked unconscious. Victims lose honor from any actions they take during Psychic Rage, even if the rage forces them into dishonorable acts. The remorse and self-doubt will plague the victim long after the rage finally subsides. These effects will be up to the DM's discretion.
#259 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:32:11	Name: Psychic Vise Prerequisites: Focus 4 Maneuver Cost: 7 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: None Description: This fearsome power literally strips the energy from an opponent, demoralizing and disheartening him. Often the Master of Hule can be seen staring into the eyes of a would-be opponent. Energy crackles from the mad cleric's eyes and his opponent's resolve crumples before the fight begins. System: The victim must be within a number of feet equal to the attacker's Focus + Wisdom. The victim must attempt a Wisdom roll with a penalty equal to the attackers focus level. If the victim fails, he loses 1d8 points in Intelligence (only temporarily) and is also at -1 To-Hit for the next round. If the victim loses a number of Intelligence points greater than half his Wisdom Statistic in a single attack, the victim is mentally stunned (treat this as paralyzed). Victims reduced to zero Intelligence points are completely useless till after they recover, in effect they are unable to dodge any attack and are always automatically hit. A victim can recover 1d4+Wisdom bonus each round they are not attacked in any way. If a friend tries to shake them out of their trance, then double the rate of recovery.
#260 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:33:10	Name: Psycho Crusher Prerequisites: Focus 5, Athletics 3, Psychokinetic Channeling Maneuver Cost: 7 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: -1 Damage Bonus: +5/One Round Movement: +30’ Description: To date, the Master of Hule is the only individual alive who is known to possess this awesome power (although it is rumored that he has one promising student who has learned it as well). When executed, the cleric is surrounded by crackling blue psychic energy as he hurdles through the air at his opponents. The Psycho Crusher actually allows the the Master to fly, up, down or across the ground, changing direction rapidly during flight and always leaving a comet-like trail of blue energy. System: The Psycho Crusher deals damage as the fighter moves into the same space as his opponent. While flying, the fighter may turn or even double back as much as he desires in order to ram as many opponents as possible with one use of the Psycho Crusher. However, no opponent can be hit by the Crusher more than once, even if the attacker reverses or loops around to enter his victim's space again. If the victim is not blocking, then he is consumed in the attacker's Psychic fire, taking full damage from the attack (use the +5 Damage modifier) and suffers knockdown as he is thrown into a space adjacent to the one where he was standing (the victim chooses which hex). If the opponent is blocking, then he is knocked back 5' from the direction the attacker flew at him, and he will take damage (a complete absorption on this damage roll brings the Psycho Crusher to an immediate end). The attacker can continue to push the blocking opponent back and do additional damage for every 5' left in his movement, up to a maximum of five attack rolls, after which the attacker continues moving past his opponent.
#261 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:35:05	Name: Psychokinetic Channeling Prerequisites: Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: 0 / See Below Damage Bonus: +2 / See Below Round Movement: +0 / See Below Description: Through force of will, the fighter manages to channel the mind's potential into a frighteningly effective compliment to any attack. Blue psychic energy crackles around the fighter's hands and feet as tremendous Chi energy is released upon the impact of a kick or punch. Currently, priests have been teaching some promising operatives the secrets of this technique. Its mastery lies primarily in the hands of those studying Muay Drit. However, some masters speculate that under the right circumstances, others could learn to harness and channel these energies as well. System: Psychic Channeling adds +2 damage to the basic Punch or Kick attacks.
#262 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:36:26	Name: Push Prerequisites: Focus 5, Air Blast Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +1 Round Movement: None Description: Clasping both hands together and pushing forward, the fighter funnels a hurricane-strength gust of wind toward the target. Unprepared opponents have been thrown dozens of feet by the winds produced. System: A blast of air with a width (in feet) equal to 5x the character's Focus level starts one 5' space-line in front of the character and continues forward for 15'. Anyone in this path suffers one hit, which may be blocked normally. Use the Damage modifiers below. Any fighter who suffers damage is moved an equal number of feet in a straight line away from the mystic. For example: if a fighter receives 14 points of damage, he will fly backward 14 feet. Jumping or airborne opponents will suffer a knockdown as well. The damage is caused by the concussive force of the air, not the fall, so tumbling abilities do not apply to lessen damage.
#263 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:37:55	Name: Reflecting Barrier Prerequisites: Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: 5’ Description: This power enables the character to create a small wall of energy in front of them. This can be used to reflect energy attacks, or it can be slammed into opponents to inflict damage. System: The Reflecting Barrier causes any projectiles that strike it to bounce back, as if a ball bounces off of a wall. The reflecting barrier will always counter such attacks (due to its size) unless they are delivered from behind. A Reflecting Barrier lasts for one round. A Reflecting Barrier can also be used offensively, by slamming it into the opponent. This inflicts +3 damage, and otherwise uses the modifiers listed above. If used offensively, the opponent can attempt a successful Dexterity roll to avoid the barrier.
#264 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:39:09	Name: Regeneration Prerequisites: Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: See Below To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: None Description: Some warriors are able to command their Chi to flow through injured areas of their body, thereby healing themselves almost instantaneously. This discipline is difficult to learn, requiring in-depth study of how Chi flows through the body as well as the mental discipline to be able to route one's Chi properly in the midst of battle. System: When using this power, a fighter stops moving for a turn to focus his Chi. The fighter may then spend points of Chi to restore lost Hit Points. Each Chi point spent enables the fighter to regain 2d4 Hit Points. In one round, a character can use as many Chi points equal to his Focus level. For example, a fighter with a Focus level of 3 could spend up to three Chi to restore 6d4 in one round of Regeneration.
#265 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:41:44	Name: Repeating Fireball Prerequisites: Focus 5, Fireball Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +0 Round Movement: None Description: Not happy with one large, flaming projectile, some fighters prefer to focus their Chi into several smaller flaming projectiles. Certainly, the Repeating Fireball is handy when a fighter must face several opponents at once. System: The fighter can throw a number of small fireballs equal to his level in Focus. Thus, a fighter with a Focus of 5 could throw a volley of five fireballs. He can target them at any opponent or opponents he likes. For example: two at one opponent, and one at each of three different opponents. Each target must be in the fighter's line-of-sight. A targeted opponent who uses a Jump or any other maneuver capable of dodging fireballs must make a dodge test against each fireball targeted at him. Range for Repeating Fireballs is the same as for a regular Fireball (Wisdom + Focus level).
#266 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:43:28	Name: Sakki Prerequisites: Focus 5 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: None To Hit: None Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: See Below Description: This power does not require the elaborate hand signs that other Saiminjutsu powers do. Sakki allows the Ninja to read others' intentions and react to them. The Ninja is able to sense the emotions of those around him. Any intention to harm him is perceived as a distinctly unpleasant sensation, escalating to intense discomfort in cases of strong hatred or imminent danger. A sleeping Ninja with this power is aware of his surroundings at all times, and any aggression directed at him will trigger the Sakki, whether it is an assassin standing over him with a drawn sword or a sniper across the alley from his home. The attack must be directed specifically at the Ninja. He would be able to sense a trap planted in his own door, but not one planted in his friend's door. An unsuspected blow aimed at his head can be easily avoided, while he would have little idea that his associates were also targets. Sakki is never taught to non-Ninja. System: During combat with only one visible opponent, this skill is of little value, unless the Ninja is blinded somehow. Outside of combat, Sakki has many applications. The DM must tell the Ninja that something "bad" is going to happen. The Ninja can take his next action protecting himself, or he can try to warn and save those nearby. If he does this, and innocents who would otherwise perish are saved thereby, the Ninja should receive bonus experience points, at the DM's discretion. This power is always in effect, even when a character is sleeping.
#267 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:46:39	Name: Scorpion Spear Prerequisites: Focus 4, Punch 2 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: None Description: The fighter launches a snake like (or snake?) coil from his palm, or other region of his body, that grabs the opponent and pulls him to the fighter. System: The range of this attack is equal to Focus level + Wisdom in feet. The attack is made in a straight line and must have line-of-sight. If the hits, the victim is "reeled in" to the adjacent space next to the attacker in the direction that the opponent was in when the attack began. The victim is also stunned if the attack scores any damage. This is considered a projectile attack and can be dodged by maneuvers that allow avoidance of such attacks. The victim can make a Save Throw vs. Paralysis to avoid being stunned after "reeled in."
#268 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:48:01	Name: Sense Element Prerequisites: Focus 2 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: None Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: None Description: The fighter can intuitively sense the presence, amount and composition of his chosen element, provided it is nearby. Earth elementals can discern the composition of the soil, the structure of a ledge, or the weak spot in a natural stone wall. Air elementals can sense any pollution in the air (including the air inside someone's lungs), detect the presence of air behind sealed doors, and sense subtle shifts in air pressure and temperature. Water elementals can discern the composition of nearly any liquid, sense any moisture buildups, and gauge an opponent's fatigue level through his level of dehydration. Finally, fire elementals can calculate the temperature of any object or area, gauge their opponent's body temperature, and discern any object's combustion point. While this power may not be all that helpful in combat, many elementals find Sense Element to be an invaluable tool in other circumstances. System: The character must determine which element first to sense. The character makes a Wisdom roll, with the Focus level as a bonus, to discern information about his chosen element.
#269 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:49:41	Name: Shock Treatment Prerequisites: Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +7 Round Movement: None Description: Some fighters have developed the ability to amplify their body's natural electrical field to astounding levels. The human body's nervous system runs on minuscule electric charges, and martial artists who have mastered their Chi and this technique can create powerful electric fields around their bodies. The air around the fighter pulses and crackles with electricity as it burns into ozone. Furthermore, while using this power, the fighter is himself practically immune to electric shock. For example, a character could struck by bolts of lightning without suffering damage, so long as he maintains this power. System: This special power affects anyone standing in the fighter's 5' space or in an adjacent space (friend and foe alike get shocked). Everyone takes damage and suffers a knockdown as the electricity courses through their bodies. A blocking character is not knocked down, but still suffers damage. Anyone struck by the electric shock can attempt a Save Throw vs. Spells to take half damage. Anyone shocked who is wearing metal armor will suffer double damage.
#270 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:51:07	Name: Shocking Grasp Prerequisites: Focus 3, Grab 1, Shock Treatment Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +2 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: 5’ Description: The fighter's hands crackle with electric energy as he grabs his opponent. System: The attacker grabs his opponent for a moment and electrocutes him. Like other grab maneuvers, this attack is made from an adjacent space, as the attacker reaches out and grabs a handful of clothes, an arm, etc. This attack ignores the effects or armor for AC. Only Dexterity or natural AC will apply.
#271 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:52:09	Name: Shrouded Moon Prerequisites: Focus 2, Athletics 1 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: -1 Description: This power allows the Ninja to slip away into shadows. As this is a Focus-based maneuver and has nothing to do with the actual blackness of the shadow, it may be utilized in broad daylight. System: An opponent must succeed in a Save Throw vs. Spells (with a penalty equal to the Ninja's Focus level) in order to see the Ninja. If the Ninja cannot be spotted, no attack can be made. An opponent can blindly attack a space at random; if he chooses the wrong space, however, his next action is taken at -2 To-Hit. The Ninja may use full movement without being seen, only to reappear the next round. If the Ninja remains unspotted, his next action is at +1 To-Hit. Those with infravision ignore the Focus penalty on the Save Throw, but must still succeed in the roll to see the Ninja due to the magical nature of the shadowy movement.
#272 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:54:15	Name: Sonic Boom Prerequisites: Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -3 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: None Description: The Sonic Boom is a projectile attack like a Fireball, except that the fighter focuses his Chi to blast a ripple of concussive sonic energy at an opponent. The sonic blast creates a very loud cracking sound just before the fighter releases it and an even louder boom when it's released into the air. System: Like a Fireball, a Sonic Boom's range is equal to the fighter's Wisdom + Focus. The attacker must have a clear line-of-sight to his opponent.
#273 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:55:41	Name: Soul Shock Prerequisites: Focus 3, Grab 2 Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: +4 Round Movement: None Description: In this powerful attack the attacker grasps his opponent at the shoulders and infuses him with damaging psychic energy. System: The opponent suffers a knockdown in addition to damage.
#274 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:56:20	Name: Speed of the Mongoose Prerequisites: Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +2 Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: -2 Description: The Ninja must concentrate on the form of his body's Chi and the method in which he wishes to tap it. By forming the intricate and secret hand sign of the Mongoose, he may draw on its power to increase his natural speed. System: The Ninja may only move this combat round and cannot block or attack. The following turn he may choose to add +4 to his To-Hit or +30' to his movement (the latter must be in a straight line).
#275 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:57:49	Name: Split Shadow Prerequisites: Focus 4 Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: An ancient technique developed in ninjutsu, a warrior learns to use his chi to form illusions of his mirror image. System: A fighter must spend one round to activate Split Shadow, and then its effect lasts a number of rounds equal to their level of Focus. Opponents have a -3 to their rolls when rolling to hit. They may spend one round to make a Wisdom roll against the fighter with a penalty equal to the fighters Focus level to see through the image and determine which is the real attacker. If a fighter using Split Shadow is actually hit, then the effect ceases.
#276 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 14:59:27	Name: Spontaneous Combustion Prerequisites: Focus 5, Heatwave Maneuver Cost: 6 Any Style Usage Cost: 3/2 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +5/+2 Round Movement: –10’ Description: With this awesome power, the mystic can make his opponent literally burst into flames. Unsuspecting or unfocused opponents will suffer horribly as they burn uncontrollably. Victims of this attack will continue to burn until they either extinguish the flames or the mystic allows them to go out. System: The mystic must defeat the defender in a contested Wisdom roll. This is done by rolling 1d20 and adding the Wisdom rating to the roll. Whoever has the highest roll wins the Wisdom contest. If the mystic succeeds, the defender bursts into flames, taking the damage listed above. Each round thereafter, the mystic can continue to expend Chi to keep the fire burning. The affected character can counteract this expenditure of Chi by spending one round rolling on the ground and putting the fire out. Unfortunately, it is not always wise to do this in the middle of combat: any character who rolls out a fire suffers a -2 To-Hit penalty on his next round. If the mystic loses concentration of the burning opponent, the fire will also go out.
#277 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 15:00:23	Name: Stone Prerequisites: Focus 4, Punch 2, Wall Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: None Description: The mystic may form a small boulder from thin air and throw it at his target. System: This is a projectile attack, very similar to a Fireball or Ice Blast. The more Focus the mystic has, the larger the stone is. Use the Focus damage rating to determine how much damage.
#278 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 15:01:26	Name: Stunning Shout Prerequisites: Focus 2 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +2 Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: -2 Description: Some martial arts styles emphasize using the voice as a weapon in its own right. Ancient masters could focus their Chi through their voices, creating shouts so loud and powerful that they could knock opponents over and unnerve them in battle. This ability is also known as the Lion’s Roar in Ochalea. System: A fighter must direct his Shout at one opponent (at the DM's discretion, a whole group of minor opponents could be simultaneously affected). The victim of the Shout must make a Saving Throw vs. Paralysis. If the victim is successful, the Stunning Shout has no effect. If the victim fails the Save Throw, one of two things happens to the victim, depending on whether or not he has acted in the current combat round. If the victim has not yet acted, he loses all remaining movement and attacks for that round. Completely unnerved and stunned by the force of the yell, he must spend the remainder of the round recovering. If the victim has already finished his action that round, then the victim suffers a -1d4+level of Focus penalty to his rolls in the next round. For example, a fighter using Stunning Shout succeeds against her opponent, she then rolls a 2 and has a Focus of level 4. Her opponent will have -6 to all of his maneuvers next round including to-hit rolls.
#279 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 15:14:18	Name: Telepathy Prerequisites: Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: None Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: None Description: Some yoga masters have perfected a form of communication beyond the spoken word. They are able to link their thoughts directly to another person's mind, enabling them to communicate directly with another person. System: A character using Telepathy can link a number of additional people up to his levev in Focus. So, a character with a Focus level of 3 could telepathically link himself and three other people. Each individual must be within a range equal to 5 times the telepath's Wisdom + Focus in feet, and must stay within that range to maintain the link. In between each combat round, the telepath can decide which characters will be part of the telepathic link for the upcoming round. Those players can then discuss combat strategy among themselves without anyone else being able to hear them. Maintaining a telepathic link costs one Chi point per turn.
#280 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 15:15:56	Name: Teleport Punch Prerequisites: Focus 5, Punch 1, Yoga Teleport Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: +4 Damage Bonus: +0 Round Movement: See Below Description: The fighter vanishes only to appear behind his opponent. And punching him in the back of the head. System: This maneuver is combined with the basic punch. The attacker must be within enough movement to have attacked the opponent with the basic punch. The attacker disappears, and is placed right behind his foe. The punch is played during the same round the "vanishing" took place.
#281 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 15:16:43	Name: Thunderclap Prerequisites: Focus 3, Punch 1 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +0 Damage Bonus: -3 Round Movement: None Description: Powerful magic. The warrior claps his hands together and unleashes the sound of thunder. The tremors caused by the Thunderclap are powerful enough to shatter windows and stun the warrior's opponents. The sound can be heard for miles. System: The Thunderclap inflicts damage on everyone within 15' of the warrior. The hit is automatic and all victims can attempt a Save Throw vs. Death Ray to only take half the damage.
#282 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 15:18:23	Name: Toughskin Prerequisites: Focus 2 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: Sumotori are renowned for their armorlike skin. One of the style's lesser-known abilities is its practitioners' ability to focus their Chi into their skin and surface muscles, making their already tough skin rock-hard. System: The fighter can use Toughskin along with any other maneuver in a combat round. The character's AC is improved by 4 for the duration of the round. For example, Ragnar has an AC of 5, due to his dexterity bonus and current level of the mystic class, so when using Toughskin while he charges into a group of opponents to unleash another attack, he will have an AC of 1 for the round. Any fighter who decides to use Toughskin may announce it at the beginning of the round before any other characters or NPC's take any actions.
#283 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 15:20:24	Name: Twin Fireballs Prerequisites: Focus 4, Fireball Maneuver Cost: 3 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: None Description: The fighter shoots a pair of fireballs that follow an interlaced sinusoidal path (while one is low on the ground, the other is high above the ground, then the opposite a few seconds later). System: Two attack rolls are made against the opponent, unless he was in an aerial or crouching maneuver, in which case only one of the two fireball can hit him, scoring then only one possible hit. If the victim of the attack is damaged, he is knocked back 5' (regardless of whether one or both fireballs strike the victim).
#284 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 15:21:46	Name: Vacuum Prerequisites: Focus 5, Air Blast Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: –10’ Description: Perhaps the most dangerous of all mystical powers. The wielder may temporarily remove the air in any given area. When this power takes effect. there is a loud crack similar to thunder as the surrounding atmosphere rushes to fill the vacuum. Any target in the area affected will feel the air sucked out of his lungs, while almost simultaneously the air around him smashes into every part of his body. System: The user of this power designates one 5' square as the target space. Any fighter in that space must succeed in a Save Throw vs. Paralysis or be automatically stunned the following round. He then suffers damage according to the modifiers above. The To-Hit roll is required still to attack an opponent since he may have a chance to move out of the vacuum as it forms and avoid it's effects completely.
#285 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 15:22:47	Name: Venom Prerequisites: Focus 2, Athletics 2, Grab 2, Head Bite Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: +1 Damage Bonus: +2/See Below Round Movement: –10’ Description: The fighter grows fangs, which allow him to inject a mild poison into his target. The poison will paralyze small animals, but only serves to slow the tougher fighters. System: On a successful attack the target suffers damage according to the modifiers above. For the next two rounds, the victim will act at -1 To-Hit and will automatically lose 1d6 hit points per turn of the poison's effect. Venom may not be used in conjunction with any other biting attacks. A successful Save Throw vs. Poison will half the effect of the poison damage per round.
#286 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 15:23:23	Name: Wall Prerequisites: Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 1 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +2 Round Movement: None Description: Simple yet effective. The fighter causes a solid wall of earth to erupt from the ground, either hitting an opponent, blocking his attack or blocking a pathway. System: The fighter selects a 5' space other than his own and fills it with a wall of earth. The range of this power is equal to Wisdom Stat + Focus level. Anyone in this 5' space at the time the power is evoked suffers the listed damage above. Otherwise the wall must be circumvented or beaten down. As with the Pit maneuver, the fighter must be in contact with the earth for this maneuver to be effective. A wall has a number of Points equal to 1d10xlevel of focus.
#287 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 15:24:28	Name: Weight Prerequisites: Focus 5, Wall, Stone, Pit Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: -1 Description: The very essence of the planet is at earth mystics' beck and call. This includes gravity! The mystic may force the planet itself to root the target to the ground for a short period of time. Affected fighters are surrounded by a bizarre effect similar to waves of heat from a hot highway. The opponent suddenly feels as if his weight has been doubled - then tripled. System: This is a projectile attack and may be dodged as such. Otherwise the target will not be able to jump for the following round, and will suffer -2 To-Hit and -10' movement. This effect cannot be sustained but can be used successively. Each successive use will accumulate.
#288 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 15:25:15	Name: Yoga Flame Prerequisites: Focus 4, Fireball Maneuver Cost: 5 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: -2 Damage Bonus: +7 Round Movement: 5’ Description: Not content to throw small balls of fire, Kabaddi stylists have perfected the ability to create a deadly geyser of flame, which they can breathe from their mouths. System: The Kabaddi master must choose in which direction to breath the flames. The inferno erupts in a conical flame that fills any 5' space adjacent to the fighter and the three 5' spaces beyond it. The fighter rolls separately for attacks against anyone standing in the affected space. Once the Yoga Flame begins, the fire lasts until the end of the current round, so anyone foolish enough to enter the four fiery 5' squares also will have an attack roll against them. The Yoga Flame is even hotter than a Fireball, and thus more prone to ignite nearby flammable materials. The details of that are up to the DM.
#289 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 15:25:59	Name: Yoga Teleport Prerequisites: Focus 5 Maneuver Cost: 7 Any Style Usage Cost: 3 Chi To Hit: None Damage Bonus: None Round Movement: See Below Description: It has been called magic, and indeed it must be. Witnesses claim to have seen yoga masters who could literally disappear from one location and reappear in another. How this power is learned, no one can or will say. One thing is certain; the knowledge is coveted by any mystic who has had to face a Kabaddi master in combat. System: When executing this move, a player simply announces that his character has disappeared. At any point during the rest of the round, the player can choose to have his character reappear anywhere within double her character's Wisdom + Focus in feet away from his original position. For example, Rajra uses Yoga Teleport at the beginning of the round. The player can have him reappear anywhere within Rajra's Focus (5) + Wisdom (16) = 42 feet away. Usually, a player will wait until the very end of the round, after all other characters have finished moving, before deciding where the teleporting character reappears.
#290 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 15:26:54	Name: Zen No Mind Prerequisites: Focus 3 Maneuver Cost: 4 Any Style Usage Cost: 2 Chi To Hit: See Below Damage Bonus: See Below Round Movement: See Below Description: Masters of Zen philosophy are able to act faster than thought. The master becomes part of the natural flow of the world, so that his actions do not merely respond to some outside force, but spring into being as they are required. System: The player this round gets the initiative automatically, regardless of whether or not the rest of the party does. The character can make any action he chooses with a bonus of +3 to any actions involving any opponents. Also If attacked, the character gets a bonus of +3 to his AC this round.
#291 zombiegleemax Dec 18, 2005 15:38:57	Next step: Organizing the styles. I'll set up posts for each style as complete them. There will be the setup for the first skill points and then a list of moves that they can learn for less points than the standard. And a piece on the origin and methods of training for each style.
#292 zombiegleemax Jan 14, 2006 11:29:53	I have about 24 styles now set up to use. I will upload those and organize them into the first post which has a table of contents set up there. Then they will get posted like moves. I'll stat that in an hour. Just passing through right now and I'll begin reading up on everything I've been missing since I vanished again.
#293 rhialto Jan 14, 2006 19:06:40	Those martial arts skills are very well thought out. But my main issue with the class has always been that it was basically copied wholescale from the 1E monk, which was written specifically for Greyhawk's Scarlet Brotherhood. How many mystic groups really need thief skills and all the other bits in the mystic class? Also, do you have any plans to take into account the armed mystic groups?
#294 zombiegleemax Jan 16, 2006 12:32:46	Haven't thought about armed mystics so much. I guess I can set something up that would allow mystics to use the special moves with weapons. As far as thief skills goes. That could be optional for the DM. For example, a boxing mystic wouldn't learn the thief skills. I'll leave that to DM's discretion.
#295 zombiegleemax Jan 16, 2006 12:44:47	[u]AIKIDO[/u] This is a style practiced by Tortles on the Savage Coast regions.

#299 zombiegleemax Jan 16, 2006 12:54:35	[u]DJIN KICKBOXING[/u] This style is taught to many would-be magicians that fail to become true magic users and then join the military forces of Alphatia. The teachers have learned to give those with limited talent the ability to convert that energy into Chi. Soldiers trained in this style are automatically made officers and always outrank non-spell casting soldiers, but are not above any other true spell-casters.

#301 zombiegleemax Jan 16, 2006 12:58:02	[u]GUILD WRESTLING[/u] The Guilds of Minrothad developed this art to train to special guardians for special shipments. It was developed recently by an elf and is taught to anyone who can afford to pay. Usually the students are sent by their guilds, which is charged for the teaching.

#319 Hugin Jan 16, 2006 15:11:30	Wow! Nicely put together. I look forward to the 3E version.
#320 zombiegleemax Mar 16, 2007 17:46:59	Wow, has it really been over a year!? I guess having a baby makes the time fly by. Now that I'm back and I've been studying the 3.5 rules the last month and now I'm doing my revisions for my personal preferences and the second longest one is the revision of the Mystic rules. Now called a Monk. So is anybody interested? Should I start a new thread for this? That might be simpler. I would use the same format I did here, or I could just edit all the manuevers above to add 3.5 rules with them. Anyone?
