New Martial Art Styles

[illenvillen23]

I have some preliminary ideas for some custom martial arts styles. Let me know what you think...please. Its my first attempt, but don't hold back.


Phyrios Style: Focuses on disarming opponent and rendering him immobile


Form Weapons: Fighting Chain + whip


1. Suffer no external penalties for disarming when attempting to disarm an opponent


2. Grappling Attack takes 2 less ticks


3. Pyrios Wrestling Form: for rest of scene DDV and PDV goes up by 3 against clinches


4. Opponent is prone after you break a clinch


5.Opponent is stunned for (M.A. + Perception roll) actions after you perform the throwing them to the ground action


6. If an opponent fails an initial clinch attack, you may immediately take a reversing clinch action


7. When an opponent ends a clinch in any fashion that hurts you, all your soaks go up by (M.A. + Wits roll)


8. banish all weapons in a (10 times Essence) yard radius for (Essence + Conviction) ticks


9. when you end a clinch with a crushing action the damage is treated as aggravated instead


Aeos Style: This style focuses on precision hits and preventing damage


Form Weapon: Spears


1. Jab and cross - 1 attack made dealing +1B damage followed by a second attack dealing +3L damage, taking 4 ticks total, no penalties for second attack


2. Slugger's uppercut - adds 2 automatic success to a successful unarmed attack


3. Aeos Boxing Form: All your attacks gain a accuracy bonus equal to your Martial Arts Skill


4. Swarmer's Chin - gain bashing soak equal to (Martial Arts + Stamina roll)


5. Increase your Dodge DV by (Intelligence + Martial arts roll) for your next 4 actions(including this one)


6. Unarmed attack gains Piercing tag, if using a form weapon with piercing tag reduce the target's armor hardness by 3/4 (rounded down)


7. Render opponent unconscious for (M.A. + Str roll) actions


8. Increase the defense value of your unarmed weapon by 4


9. Ignore the first ([M.A. + Dex roll ]+ Essence) points of hardness


Phlegon Style: This style is dedicated to flashy moves that confuse and intimidate opponents


Form Weapons: Swords


1.Stun for 1 action with penalty equal to MA skill


2.Hardness gained equal to (MA + Essence) roll


3. Add 3L Damage to an attack


4. Phlegion Sword Form: No penalty for multiple opponents


5.Gain parry DV equal to 2 times motes spent (up to MA skill)


6.Strike from Motes + Essence yards away (max of double MA skill)


7.Counter attack with +2 accuracy if opponent misses, -2 accuracy if opponent hits


8.Attack each opponent in range at a speed of 8


9.Burst of agg. damage to all within a 10 times MA skill long and 4 yard wide line, or all within 4 times MA skill yard radius

There's a lot to reply on, so I think I will take it one style at a time. Also, assume the charms I don't comment on are fine by my opinion.

Phyrios Style: Focuses on disarming opponent and rendering him immobile
Form Weapons: Fighting Chain + whip

Seems fine, though other disarm weapons exist, such as the sai, which I think are cooler than the whip. But this is pure taste. Also, Im assuming that this is a celestial style?

2. Grappling Attack takes 2 less ticks

This is really powerful. With this, you could enter a clinch, throw the opponent and refresh, all without the opponent getting an action. While I don't think the charm is directly broken, I think it should have a pretty high Essence req and be higher up in the tree.

5.Opponent is stunned for (M.A. + Perception roll) actions after you perform the throwing them to the ground action

This is insanely powerful. At this level in the tree you have a MA score of 5, which leaves you with at least 6 dice. Comboed with a MA or Perception excellency, people could be out a long time. I suggest making it an opposed roll of sorts, and I think it should be Essence instead of Perception.

8. banish all weapons in a (10 times Essence) yard radius for (Essence + Conviction) ticks

This is broken. That's just way too powerful. Make it an oppposed roll of sorts, and the charm only targets one guy at a time.

9. when you end a clinch with a crushing action the damage is treated as aggravated instead

I disagree with this use of aggravated damage. Aggravated damage is suppose to reflect magical damage of sorts, the kind that healing magic doesn't even heal well, if at all. Plus, that much aggravated damage against a person, who doesn't have DVs?


If you do go on with this charm as it is, I suggest that it has an Essence 5 req. The cost should also be really high, something like 10m, 2wp, and 1 ahl (or 1xp, alternatively). And the target should still get somekind of roll to reduce the damage to lethal. Take a look at Tsunami Force Shout of the Water Dragon Style, for inspiration for a MA charm that deals aggravated damage.


On a final note, I think that this style is more a clinch style than a disarm style. There should be more disarm charms, and definitely more follow ups on disarms.


Otherwise, good job. Could have used a little flavour text, and some rough ideas about what you have thought about concerning costs and reqs, though .

 

[Ledaal Kajiri]

A few comments and questions on one style. I'll comment on others later.

Aeos Style: This style focuses on precision hits and preventing damage
Form Weapon: Spears

Does this style allow armor? If so, is it limited to light, medium, or all armor? Also, what level style is intended here?

1. Jab and cross - 1 attack made dealing +1B damage followed by a second attack dealing +3L damage, taking 4 ticks total, no penalties for second attack

Is this a simple charm then, instead of an extra action charm? Extra action charms act on the speed of the included actions, simple charms can have their own speed. There are existing examples of simple charms which include multiple attacks.

2. Slugger's uppercut - adds 2 automatic success to a successful unarmed attack

Two automatic successes to the attack roll itself, but only after it has hit? So essentially two to the attack's raw damage? Or do you mean two automatic successes on the damage roll?

3. Aeos Boxing Form: All your attacks gain a accuracy bonus equal to your Martial Arts Skill

Essentially a slightly weaker version of Crimson Pentacle Blade Form. Handy.

4. Swarmer's Chin - gain bashing soak equal to (Martial Arts + Stamina roll)

For how long? Scene, action, single attack? At this point in either a Terrestrial or Celestial style it would be acceptable to add lethal soak as well, and likely scene long.

5. Increase your Dodge DV by (Intelligence + Martial arts roll) for your next 4 actions(including this one)

Likely a bit too powerful if this is intended as a Terrestrial MA, but not if intended as a Celestial MA. If this is a Simple charm it might be acceptable for a Terrestrial MA...perhaps, though perhaps not. If part of a Celestial Style I would suggest Reflexive...though it is quite nice that way.

6. Unarmed attack gains Piercing tag, if using a form weapon with piercing tag reduce the target's armor hardness by 3/4 (rounded down)

There are charms much lower in styles which grant one the ability to ignore hardness entirelly, and even in the same instance as suggested here to ignore armor entirelly. At the least you should make this ignore hardness completely if piercing...and likely should make that always work.

7. Render opponent unconscious for (M.A. + Str roll) actions

This should be a simple charm, likely at standard speed, and should have a way to resist. Perhaps an opposed roll of Str+MA against the defender's Sta+Resistance? If unresistable this is horribly broken, and might as well be autokill. If this is a Terrestrial Style this should likely be the Pinnacle charm...if Celestial...this should likely still be the pinnacle charm. I win charms are generally at the top of trees.

8. Increase the defense value of your unarmed weapon by 4

For how long? Scene long?

9. Ignore the first ([M.A. + Dex roll ]+ Essence) points of hardness

This is far too weak as a potential pinnacle charm. Consider the fact that Five Dragon Style's Five Dragon Claw, a base of tree charm, allows you to ignore hardness and makes an unarmed attack lethal. At the very least this should completely ingore hardness for a scene, and even then it's frankly very weak.


Also, could you please give us some flavor text, at least for the style as a whole?


As a personal judgement, not a bad idea...potentially interesting mechanically, though I would like to see some flavor text. Depending on how you go with things on durations and charm placement could either be a relativelly strong Terrestial Martial Art or weak Celestial Martial Art.

 

[Ledaal Kajiri]

Phlegon Style: This style is dedicated to flashy moves that confuse and intimidate opponents
Form Weapons: Swords

As with the previous style, does this style allow armor? Also, what level style is intended? Terrestrial or Celestial?

1.Stun for 1 action with penalty equal to MA skill

Simple or Supplemental? Is there a way to resist? This low in a tree there likely should be.

2.Hardness gained equal to (MA + Essence) roll

For what duration? On the whole, I would suggest not having it rolled, as a MA+Essence roll, unless a combo is used to add an excellency is going to result in around 5ish hardness...which while protecting against some environmental effects is useless against anyone with 2 Strength and a straight sword...not exactly the toughest of opponents. This low in the tree it should likely not be scene long, if effective.

3. Add 3L Damage to an attack

Supplemental, I hope?

4. Phlegion Sword Form: No penalty for multiple opponents

I assume this means that the martial artist may ignore coordination penalties to DV and does not consider an attack unexpected due to number of attackers? An interesting choice, if this is the case.

5.Gain parry DV equal to 2 times motes spent (up to MA skill)

Against a single attack? more cost effective than an excellency, but limited in application, not bad.

6.Strike from Motes + Essence yards away (max of double MA skill)

Is this max to the mote expenditure, or to the attack as a whole? Is this Supplemental or Simple?

7.Counter attack with +2 accuracy if opponent misses, -2 accuracy if opponent hits

Interesting. A rarity in that it works in either case, most such charms require either a successful or failed defense. Still, nothing wrong with such...

8.Attack each opponent in range at a speed of 8

Is this combo okay? Certainly a simple charm. If the attack at range charm is Supplemental, then the pair might make for an...interesting combo.

9.Burst of agg. damage to all within a 10 times MA skill long and 4 yard wide line, or all within 4 times MA skill yard radius

Far too powerful if this is a Terrestrial style. Even if a Celestial Style, it should likely not include the Aggravated damage. Definatelly a pinnacle charm. Definatelly a Simple charm.


On the whole, aside from the Pinnacle, not a bad style. Certainly still needs some fleshing out. With the exception of the last charm, it might make a viable Terrestrial Style, though a few charms push that. As a Celestial style it might be acceptable as well, though likely in the weaker end of such. The Pinncale alone suggests that a Celestial style is intended.


Please give some more flavor text...fluff may not be important mechanically, but it helps show much of one's intent, and makes things much more interesting.

3. Aeos Boxing Form: All your attacks gain a accuracy bonus equal to your Martial Arts Skill

Essentially a slightly weaker version of Crimson Pentacle Blade Form.

Depending on rules interpretation, this might actually be a more powerful version of Crimson Pentacle Blade Form, which (among other things) adds "the Exalt’s Essence score to all Martial Arts rolls", clearly a dice adder. It is not clear if charms that "add to Accuracy" are intended to be dice adders (that is, if they count against dice caps) or provide a bonus outside the cap (normal Accuracy bonuses are not counted against the cap). That is, are the phrases "add to Martial Arts attacks" and "add to Accuracy" intended to be identical? (And, if so, why use the latter at all?) Either way, keep it in mind when you write up the charm.

5. Increase your Dodge DV by (Intelligence + Martial arts roll) for your next 4 actions(including this one)

If this is a terrestrial style, chances are it's most typical practitioners won't be able to use the full bonus provided by this style: terrestrials will run into their dice cap more than half the time when their Int exceeds applicable specialties.


Some other thoughts:

• Charms that base their effects off of a roll seem a bit overused in these styles, which will make play slower. It also adds a factor of luck into many of the effects, which may or may not fit their theme.
  
• It isn't clear how much you considered interactions amongst the charm effects. The amount of this in a style varies quite a bit. Some styles don't have much (Five-Dragon). Some are overly obsessed with it (like this one). Most don't use interacting charms, per se, but think a lot about what kinds of combos can be made within the style. From the looks of it, your charms prevent common interaction mistakes (such as two charms that, when combined, exceed dice caps) so you seem to have put some thought into this already. Mostly, though, your charms don't seem to interact much. When you actually write them up it will be more clear how they combo.
  
• As mentioned, your disarming style should be a bit more about disarming. Disarming, in general, occupies a sort of weird area in the Exalted rules. The target sort of gets two defenses against it (DV, then a roll to hold on) making it a lot weaker than you might expect. Charms could manipulate this oddity to good effect, I think. Also, tricks on retrieval of disarmed weapons might be neat.
  
• The bread and butter of martial arts charms tend to effect five areas: attack, damage, defense, mobility, soak. Nearly all styles contain a weakness in completely ignoring at least one of these. More targeted styles, like yours, may ignore two or even three, which you seem to be doing.
  
• Making clinch attacks faster is much more powerful than it sounds, due to the timing idiocy present in the clinch rules. As an example, here is a 50 tick long fight where the simple -1 Speed from jade hearthstone bracers prevented one of the combatants from ever getting an action.

 

[Persell]

Uh... ahem... that is a weird interpretation of the clinch rules and it is most likely wrong. I can't see anything like that in the rulebook.

 

[wordman]

Uh... ahem... that is a weird interpretation of the clinch rules and it is most likely wrong. I can't see anything like that in the rulebook.

Yes. There isn't much of anything in the rulebook on the topic, which is the problem, and what it does say is contradictory. Doing that battle over again, that wouldn't be the ruling I'd choose. The link above marked "timing idiocy" contains some alternatives and their reasoning. The way Scion does it is also a possibility. Either way, the point remains that Speed reduction for clinching has ramifications that are not entirely obvious and may largely depend on how you handle clinch timing.

 

[Persell]

Actually no, making clinching faster is generally not a huge problem for someone who was already victim of a clinch, he still gets to act on the same tick as his former clincher.

 

[Jeppe]

Huh. Here I return to the thread to give some thoughts on the two styles I haven't commented on yet, and Ledaal Kajiri has already posted anything I had to say on the matter, plus a little more.


Well, you snooze, you... Ah.... Are late in posting on the forum you hang out in?

 

[Flyck]

Did someone say....  Clinches!?
