Way of the Monks
In battle, your 
Strength and 
Speed equalize (the higher drops to the lower), then both drop 3 Sub-Tiers.
Once you attack, they return with +1 Sub-Tier for each hit you took while debuffed (max +5).
Flow Styles
Flow styles come with no moveset. Instead, you work the style into your own flow for it to be effective. It’s easily the hardest form of combat, needing patience and a level head, but a master of a Flow style is extremely hard to beat, even by someone stronger and faster.

Non-aggressive tactics. Tai Chi users fight in a calm, zen-like state, and its true power is restraint: you know exactly where to strike, with just the right amount of force to take your opponent out.
Flow State
First, read your opponent’s physical flow by dodging their attacks 3 times. After that, you need +3 extra Speed to be Auto-Hit.
Pressure Strike
In the Flow State, every 6 turns, roll 1d100. A hit debuffs your opponent:
| Roll | Strike | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – 50 | Nothing | — |
| 51 – 60 | Arm Pressure Point | Strength −¼ |
| 61 – 70 | Double Arm Pressure Point | Strength −½ |
| 71 – 80 | Leg Pressure Point | Speed −¼ |
| 81 – 90 | Double Leg Pressure Point | Speed −½ |
| 91 – 99 | Full Body Strike | Paralysis for 2 turns |
| 100 | Solar Plexus Strike | Instant K.O. |
Two single Pressure Point hits on the same stat stack to half. Rolling Nothing 3 times puts Pressure Strike on a 6-turn cooldown.
Use your opponent’s own speed against them. Judo shines against opponents faster than you.
Take a stance. Your opponent must move in and strike you physically, then roll 1d10:
| Roll | Result |
|---|---|
| 1 – 4 | Failure: 5-turn cooldown |
| 5 – 9 | Success: avoid the Auto-Hit with a counter, plus 1 free Non-Lethal hit |
| 10 | Instant Pin: overpower and pin them, then subdue them however you like |
An Old World style taught in dojos across the Mainland and Outworld. It balances defense and offense, and brings a crucial mechanic: Parrying.
Parrying
Instantly deflect a physical attack. Roll 1d30:
| Roll | Result |
|---|---|
| 1 – 10 | Failure: stunned 1 turn |
| 11 – 20 | Parry: deflect the attack |
| 21 – 29 | Critical Parry: deflect + 1 free Auto-Hit |
| 30 | Super Critical: deflect + Instant K.O. |
A Brazilian art disguised as a dance. Capoeiristas never stand still: the constant sway of the Ginga makes them hard to pin down and builds into devastating spinning kicks.
Ginga
Every attack you dodge builds 1 Momentum (max 5). When you attack, spend Momentum: each point adds +2 Power to a kick. Getting hit resets your Momentum to 0.
Meia Lua de Compasso
At 5 Momentum, spend it all on a spinning heel kick instead. Roll 1d20:
| Roll | Result |
|---|---|
| 1 – 7 | Whiffed: Momentum is lost |
| 8 – 14 | Sweep: opponent is knocked down and can’t move next turn |
| 15 – 19 | Clean Hit: opponent is stunned 1 turn + 1 free Auto-Hit |
| 20 | Lights Out: Instant K.O. |
The Art of Eight Limbs: fists, elbows, knees and shins. Muay Thai fighters condition their bodies to take punishment and are at their deadliest up close.
Conditioning
Every 3 physical hits you take give +1 Sub-Tier of 
Defense for the rest of the fight (max +4).
The Clinch
Land 2 hits in a row to lock your opponent in the clinch. While clinched, they can’t move away or use long-range attacks. Each turn in the clinch, roll 1d12:
| Roll | Result |
|---|---|
| 1 – 4 | Opponent breaks free (clinch ends) |
| 5 – 9 | Knee: +4 Power hit |
| 10 – 11 | Elbow Cut: hit + opponent loses 5  Stamina per turn for 3 turns |
| 12 | Knockout Knee: opponent is stunned 2 turns |
The clinch lasts 3 turns at most, then needs a 5-turn cooldown.
