This Path is serious... honest! It is meant to simulate the antics of the infamous Dog Boxing and Monkey styles.
Puppy Yell | Chi Cost: 2 | Shot Cost: 0 |
When attacked by an opponent, shout and cry in the most pitiful manner and make a Charisma check against that opponent’s Willpower attribute: if successful, that opponent loses one Fu point or one shot from those available to her this sequence, your choice.
Prerequisite: none | Path: Roll Over |
Roll Over | Chi Cost: 2 | Shot Cost: 3 |
Choose an opponent. Your next attack action made this sequence against that opponent can’t be actively Dodged.
Prerequisite: Puppy Yell | Path: Seize the Twin Pearls |
Seize the Twin Pearls | Chi Cost: 4 | Shot Cost: 3 |
Make a Martial Arts attack against an opponent with a –2 AV penalty; if successful, your opponent takes two Impairment points in addition to damage dealt, and if your Chi is higher than hers, any damage or Impairment-reducing schtick this opponent may have is ignored.
Prerequisite: Roll Over | Path: Dog Paw |
Dog Paw | Chi Cost: 3 | Shot Cost: 3 |
Make a seemingly stupid Martial Arts attack. If successful, you deal no damage, but make a Charisma check against your opponent’s Willpower; for each point of Outcome, you get a +2 AV bonus to your next Martial Arts attack against him.
Prerequisite: Seize the Twin Pearls | Path: Meek Stance |
Meek Stance | Chi Cost: X + 1 | Shot Cost: 0 |
After being succesfully attacked by an opponent, that opponent can’t attack you again for the next X + 3 shots or until you attack him succesfully, whatever comes first.
Prerequisite: Dog Paw |
