[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8070906, member: 93670"] Focus state or Martial focus is probably a good name yea. A lot of the time when you see them yelling out nonsense like "hyper dragon word salad nonsense crashing windmill heaven strike" type nonsense it's because the show/book is aimed at a [URL='https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Chuunibyou']somewhat younger generation[/URL] & there's a name for that but when you have sheinen shoujo shonen & [URL='https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/MangaDemographics']so many others[/URL] plus their chinese/korean/etc equivalents there's no reason to aim for a frequently mocked style :D The first two look good depending on what else the class winds up with, but on that last one I'd change it to something other than dash like hover speed equal to your move speed or add something like the ending clause in the [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/sanctuary']sanctuary spell [/URL]"If [you] make an attack or cast a spell that affects an enemy creature, this spell ends." [B]edit: [/B] as to the thunderbolt fantasy thing you mention in your other post yea, wuxia is filled with extremely d&d friendly stories & such so it's odd when monk keeps chasing after reenacting a 50 year old american tv show written by an american starring an american all those years ago given the popularity of wuxia inspired translated anime series in the US & us pop culture since cartoon network/adult swim & such started airing them.
