Three Kings alternative techniques
Iron Seraph – alternative Three Kings techs
6: Ultimate Rebuke of Virtue[edit]
(6 White + 4 any = 10+2 = 12+3+2+2 = 19 points.)
• Unparallelled attack (Crimson, 6)
• [Disorient] on a standard success (Crimson, 4)
• Weapon draw as a Free Action (White, 0p, +1CM)
• Make a Secondary attack after everyone else has acted (Colorless, 3p)
• Add (White Chi Mod) to Strike for attacks and defenses. (Colorless, 3)
• Persistence: Perfect (Jade, 5): lasts for (Three Kings skill) rounds.
• Weakness: Expended Fortune (-3) (Have to spend 1 Joss to activate.)
• Weakness: Weakened protective air (-2) (-1 Chi aura when in effect,)
• Weakness: Principle of Yi (-2)
7: Of Deeds Unconquered[edit]
(7 White + 8 Any = 15+2 = 17+3+6+2+1 = 29)
A true display of mastery through virtue, the user stands tall under Heaven! By emulating the virtue of the Three Kings, he achieves mastery of all things!
• Add (White Chi mod) to Initiative, Confidence, Grace, Inspire, Perform, Learning, Politics, Tactics, Awareness and Investigation rolls. (Colorless, 10p)
• Deflection: Unparallelled attacks (Crimson, 5)
• Divine Swiftness (White, 4 p +1CM): Automatically win IN over all others except other users of this technique, in which case resolve as normal.
• Pain Control: Ignore wound penalties. (Jade, 2p)
• Rooted to the Earth: Immune to Knockback and Down while tech is in effect (Jade 2p) • Duration: 1 round (Jade, 2p)
• Channel: 2 Any. Extend the duration of this technique by one round. This technique may explicitly be channeled whenever the user has available chi, regardless of any condition or effect, including unconsciousness. (colorless, 4)
• Weakness: Delayed Onset (-3)
• Weakness: Expended fortune *2 (spend 2 Xia Joss to activate!) (-6)
• You suffer from a Minor chi weakness keyed to excellence of virtue: during the duration of this technique, you must act according to the highest standards of the Xia Virtues or the technique automatically ends. If so, it can not be activated again for (20- Xia Deeds) rounds. (-2)
Alternate idea: When looking at tech 5 of the revised Unfolding Glory, you can note that the Mastery maneuver is allowed to apply to *all skills* connected to one attribute without buying it several times. Consequently, there should be precedent for a new Strength of Chi maneuver – priced at 4 points, it adds chi mod to all skills of one attribute.
The new variant would look like this:
7: Of Deeds Unconquered (V 2.0)[edit]
