*Heavy Armor
*Stone Statue Saber (Massive/Saber: +5 Damage, +5 Strike. If best Dodged, penalty is -10. May Flood one die to ignore target's armor for results on one Rippling roll. May Flood one die to force an immediate Rippling Check if Strike exceeds Defense by 10 or more; may be done after defender rolls.)

==Chi Conditions==
==='Natural State' Conditions===
*Uncompromising Determination (Metal Inspiration):  It is said that a great golden mountain once barred Stone Devil's path.  It is said that that that by sundown, the Grand Canal was formed.  This is highly unlikely, but those who have met him cannot entirely deny it. He lives his life as the crow flies. preferring straightforward tactics  to elaborate plans and brutal honesty to tactful lies. (Minor Action Bonus)

*Spleen of an Ox (Earth Medical Condition)

Stone Devil has been poisoned so many times that he now likens scorpion venom to mother's milk - which speaks poorly of his mother, but well of his endurance! His spleen has been accidentally cultivated to the point that it actually produces Earth Chi, but it gives him the appetite of a goat, and usually the manners to match! )Minor Earth Chi Conversion)

*0 Bonus: You may choose a free Might specialty: Lifting Things or a free Inspire specialty: Intimidation.
*4 Fortune: Whether or not you are a member of the Four Ox Union, you have friends in low places and can call upon their help. The extent of their help depends on the amount of Destiny invested. (4E)
*5 Disadvantage: Criminal. Whether or not you truly are, your association with the Four Ox Union lends you a shady reputation. This is free if it's your first or second disadvantage. (0E)

**If you're in the Heavy Iron Sword Stance and use Mountain God's Knee, that technique also grants +5 Strike.
**If you're in the Heavy Iron Sword stance and use Dragon Claw Flexes, your opponent's defense cannot Laugh At you.

'''''The Four Ox Stable'''''
*2 Fortune: Deep within the labyrinthine slums of Plain-Girl's Nest is the Four Ox Union headquarters. Outsiders have little chance of finding this place on their own; constables and magistrates, for the most part, don't even want to find it. You know the way, and can hole up here if need be. (2E)

===Eagle Talons [4E]===
*'''4 Involvement''': Though you've made his Sect look bad, Kingfisher cannot help but be impressed by your great deed. He'll be keeping an eye on you!

*3 Fortune: With the Four Ox Union now promising to operate more quietly in its home turf to avoid the Magistrates' attention, you can expect the smaller gangs in the City Beneath to see an opportunity to grab a bigger piece of the pie. This may prove a headache, but it may also provide an opportunity to further strengthen the Four Ox Union's hold in the district. (3E)

====Three Bronze Rings====
'''0 Destiny'''

'''''A Fourth Ring?'''''
*4 Involvement: To make peace with the Southern Dragon Pirate Clan would be Old Doc Baozhen's greatest triumph, and the fact that not everybody likes that idea isn't going to stop him from making it happen. He's counting on ''you'' to make sure no one causes any trouble, and anyone who does gets dealt with.
**0 Bonus: In addition to offering you some support, Baozhen will provide you with medicine to make sure you're performing at 'peak efficiency' until the matter is settled. You have a Minor Medical Hyperactivity, likely granting a Breath or Elemental Conversion bonus.
