[QUOTE="Crashy75, post: 3335514, member: 11017"] very cool Nfft. Nice dark flavor. I'd love to read some more fluff. Something to make it more distinct from shadow hand (or even work it as a sub-discipline of shadow hand?) Or perhaps you are re-arranging maneuvers to fit a different theme? I know I am. Also, some feats would be awesome! I don't have to Tob with me but i'll ask a few ? for now: Intimidate as a class skill. It fits with the theme but the only maneuver i see that uses a skill is ghost moan which uses bluff. Perhaps bluff should be the skill? [B]Fearsome Lunge[/B]- What kind of fear? Shaken? Stirred? :D *sorry* Same ? for the other fear maneuvers. [B]Venom guard[/B]- How does the 'know when you are about to ingest poison' work? [B]Minor Miasma[/B]- I imagine that conjuring a cloud of smoke but it's a boost... So how does it work? Same ? for the other miasma maneuvers. (i think a cloud of smoke would be either a strike or have no descriptor) [B]Ambush tactics[/B] scare me!!!!! only one round though. Imagine a Rog 7/SS 2 with ambush tactics and assassins stance (SA of +8d6 at 9th)... Or even a Rog 3/ss 1 (SA +4d6 at 4th)still only 1 round- of dual-wielding death :D . I guess we'll prolly lose some BAB in the process. Also, that assumes Black lotus is available to ss's. [B]Cultural Lead Sheet[/B]- It's a counter so i assume you use when another cast's a detect spell. Do you gain some (instinctive?) knowledge that a detect spell is being cast or do u have to rely on spellcraft? Also, it has a really long duration for a maneuver. EDIT: oh yeah. Those detect spells last a little while... [B]Predatory Presence[/B] almost sounds like a tiger claw maneuver/stance. Alt name suggestion: Presence of death. ? [B]Ghost Moan[/B]- uses bluff check.... Still it's a good maneuver. This feels like a feat or even a skill trick to me for some reason. [B]Inertia Bind[/B]- the back of my head is tingling. There's a shadowhand maneuver that paralyzes for 1 round. Isn't it 4th lev? Are they balanced with each other? [B]Eyes of the Beast[/B]- The name sounds like tiger claw. I could even see this as a tiger claw stance. (or shadowhand) [B]Heart Animation Technique[/B]- Sounds cool. I can see the adept standing behind the corpse, manipulating it like a puppet, and using it like a shield (It could give cover) I really like the idea of [B]Psychic Venom.[/B] [B]Black Chakra Mirror[/B]- make those darn mages think twice (or thrice with psychic venom).
