Path of the Extended Fist

Extended Touch

Fu: 1, Shot: 3

Push an opponent by making a Martial Arts check. If successful, the opponent is thrown a number of meters equal to the Outcome in the direction of your choice.

A target that is thrown loses one shot for each meter he is hurled while regaining his bearings. If Extended Touch succeeds, he loses at least three shots.

Focused Defense

Fu: 3, Shot: 1

Focus your Fu defensively, deflecting blows without any physical contact. Use this when you are about to be damaged by an attack. Make a Martial Arts roll with the final damage rating of his attack as the difficulty. If you make this roll, you are not affected by that attack. Attacks with no damage rating cannot be deflected.

Extended Strike

Fu: X, Shot: 3

Attack an opponent bare-handed from a distance by focusing your Fu into a strike. The range of your strike in meters is equal to the number of Fu points you spend. Damage is normal for the type of attack. If your attack hits, you have managed to keep that opponent at bay for some time. Because your opponent now has a hard time reaching through your guard to strike back at you, your Dodge against him is increased by X until the end of the sequence.

No-Strike

Fu: 4, Shot: 0

You may do damage to an opponent with the slightest of movements, wounding them even as you defend yourself from their attack. Use this power when an opponent unsuccessfully attacks you in hand-to-hand combat. He immediately takes damage as if you had struck him, apply his negative outcome as positive outcome on your attack. Damage is your Fu rating. Activate this power when your opponent attacks, after he makes his task check.

Example: Chou, with an AV of 15, is fighting Lin, with a DV of 15. Chou attacks and ends up with an Action Result of 13. Chou decides to use No-Strike. Chou takes damage equal to Lin's Fu +2, 2 being the difference between Chou's Action Result of 13 and the difficulty, which is 15.

Shield of Pure Soul

Fu: X, Shot: 1

Create a protective sphere of Fu energy around you. Gain an armor bonus equal to X, where X is the amount of Fu you elect to spend. This bonus lasts until the end of the Sequence. There is no Agility penalty for using this power. Attacks which are absorbed by Shield of Pure Soul are actually deflected away without ever touching you.
