			Additionally, the GM can choose to give out bonus XP at the end of story arcs, when exceptionally powerful foes are defeated, etc.

			Note that it is perfectly possible for multiple conflict types to take place at once. For example, if you are trying to command an army in battle, that's a mental conflict, but if you're fighting on the front line at the same time, that's a physical conflict too!

	Having said that, its possible (and even likely) that some areas of a battle environment might take time or effort to reach. If the combat is set in a vast tower with a long spiral staircase, for example, the GM might rule that you can't get to the fireball-flinging sorcerer at the top until you get past his minions, or somehow circumvent the stairs. In these circumstances, magics that increase your mobility are your best ally.

In these circumstances, magics that increase your mobility are your best ally.

	After you have made your first attack, you ~~don~~'t ~~get to~~ move ~~any more~~. This is actually ~~very~~ important in ~~several circumstances~~. ~~The most important repercussion of this is that~~ any multi-attacks you make ~~this round~~ must be at targets within reach of ~~you~~ after you attack the first target. Also, it means that if you move into melee combat against a static opponent, they'll always get a chance to attack you back in melee.		'''After you have made your first attack, you can't move again that turn.''' This is actually is quite important in and has repercussions elsewhere in the game. For example, any multi-attacks you make on one turn must be at targets within reach of your weapons after you attack the first target. Also, it means that if you move into melee combat against a static opponent, they'll always get a chance to attack you back in melee.

	Obviously some ''kung fu secrets'' break this rule, though having magical movement isn't enough in itself. You don't get to teleport away after attacking, for example.

			As a second example, in a Physical Conflict, let us instead assume that ''Moon Shadow'' is attacking a powerful demon, who has Physical 5, and from this: Evasion 5, Interference 5 and Absorption 5.

			Even though the demon has mighty defences, ''Evasion, Interference and Absorption'' can't reduce ''Motion, Accuracy and Power'' to less than 1. ''Moon Shadow'' still gets to roll 1 dice, score a hit on a 1 or less, and deals 1 physical damage on each hit.

	Bear in mind that by default, most actions do NOT receive a Style Bonus. The Bonus should be a reward for being exceptional, rather than an expected part of the calculations for Chi management.

The Bonus should be a reward for being exceptional, rather than an expected part of the calculations for Chi management. If a player is gaining Style Bonuses more than three or four times in a Conflict, then you're probably being too generous.

			Also, the Style Bonus is gained as soon as the GM awards it and not a moment sooner or later. If the GM notes the player's style before he has spent any chi, he gains that bonus chi now! If the GM notes the player's style when the action is done and completed, then the bonus us gained then.

			Its worth saying again and again - this is a bonus, not an expected part of the chi flow calculation. GMs are never obliged to dish out this bonus, and can be as strict or as generous as they wish.
