[QUOTE="Thia Halmades, post: 2662967, member: 35863"] Feel free to respond at length later on; again, sorry if I seemed dismissive this morning, I was trying to help and wound up being unclear as to what you were doing, that's why I gave you a full blown break down. The points I skipped were merely the ones that were obvious (Imp. Plie, Imp. Floorwork, etc.). I figured a "Dancing Grapple" would work well for you, glad you like it! I'll continue to mull on this, I have a few ideas kicking in my head which might help you, but my brain needs to percolate on the idea. Oh, right, I remember: What about Katas? Complicated Dances which translate directly into combat. Did you intentionally avoid them? Because they are, literally, fighting dances. Would you consider allowing the character to choose either a Kata or a Style, or are they the same thing? At 5th level, Character Learns the Swan Kata; they recieve a +2 bonus to deflect attacks of opportunity. This bonus stacks with Floorwork. A character may make a standard attack during a Kata, but may not engage in a Dance or a Full Attack during a Kata. More thoughts. Glad I'm being helpful! PS - I'm a Damn Yankee, but I plan on doing some travelling, and the little lady loves theater, so I may double-dip, head up for a show and hook up with you for coffee/one shotting while staying at the local hotel. It wouldn't happen for months (we just bought an overpriced condo which is consuming all of my resources) but its a strong possibility. [/QUOTE]
