1. '''Future Holds No Secrets'''
* You do not Fear any attacks this round.

2: '''Dancing Bones Method'''
*You have a bonus to +5 Footwork
*If you are acting in accord with a Prediction, the bonus increases to +10, and you may Reply when you Dodge result exceeds an attack by ten or more.  If you are acting contrary to a Prediction, you may not employ this technique.

2. '''Heart-Finding Strike'''
*You have a +5 bonus to Strike.
*If you are acting in accord with a Prediction, the bonus increases to +10, and you inflict a Rippling roll if your attack exceeds your opponents' defense by 5.  If you are acting contrary to a Prediction, you may not employ this technique. 

2. '''Battle-Scholar's Insight'''
*You may make an Tactics-based Minor Action on your initiative roll to 'predict' a single opponent's offensive approach for the round. If the Minor Action succeeds, the opponent must act in accord with this quasi-prediction or suffer a -10 penalty to all actions on his attack roll.
*The difficulty of this Minor Action is set by the Sage based on the likelihood and the specificity of the prediction. Something the target might do anyway (e.g. target one of his opponents that round over another) is Common [20] difficulty; something that seems tactically dubious but for which you can provide some justification (e.g. 'He forgoes using Dragon Chi this round to demonstrate his superiority!') can be anywhere from Moderate [30] to Legendary [80]; while absurd predictions (e.g. the target attacks his ally, or surrenders at the start of a fight against an evenly matched opponent) are at least Legendary [80], if not Impossible [100].
