Woshou Moves

Regular Moves

(Moves that are not associated with Shen Fist styles. Most of Woshou’s ‘Regular Moves’ come from Monk and Sacred Fist traditions, and his elemental bloodline.)
(Note that the bonus to attack speed form ‘Master of Many Paths’ and some of its meta moves do not apply to non-kung-fu moves, and so only apply to Shen Fist, Monk Sacred Fist action commands -and Mystic Fist as well, if Woshou possessed that class. ‘Master of Many Paths’ meta moves cannot select or target other Master of Many Paths action commands, and they technically are not Kung Fu moves for the purposes of any interactions- they are only nominally Kung Fu moves).

Strikes

Fire Breathing (Requires Brewer)
Cone AOE, Medium Stamina, High Cooldown
Can only be used after imbibing alcohol while wielding a fire source. Exhale flames in an AOE cone in front of you, dealing fire damage with a chance to inflict burning. Fire damage and chance to inflict burning increases based on the quality of the alcohol consumed.

Thrust fist into ground and unleash rock melting heat into it. Moments later, a lava plume erupts beneath the target location. Deals Extreme fire damage with guaranteed [Burning] proc in a large AOE. Those within the area continue to take fire damage for a duration, and may continue to receive [burning] procs.

Two Students Cross Paths (Requires Master of Many Paths)
Special, Special, Special
Select two kung fu action Strikes you possess; this action command gains the effects of both of those action commands. It takes on the longest range, the combined stamina cost, and the combined cooldown of both of those action commands. If there are contradictory effects on the move, you pick the ‘highest’ value (whether good of bad). Both of those action commands are placed on their normal cooldown when selected with this action.

Stunning Fist (Requires Monk)
Melee, Low Stamina, Medium Cooldown
Attempt to inflict [Stun] on the target. Chance to [Stun] increases the lower the current stamina is.

Quivering Palm (Requires Monk)

Brick Break (Requires Sacred Fist)
Melee Range, Medium Stamina, Very Low Cooldown

Power Up Punch (Requires Sacred Fist)
Melee Range, Low Stamina, No Cooldown
A standard attack that will also slightly increase the users attack when used. The attack increase stacks, lasts a short duration, that refreshes each time this attack lands.

An attack that deals double damage to inanimate objects while ignoring their structural and material hardness. This attack can target worn equipment. Can also be used against automatons and golems to deal greatly increased damage while bypassing their critical resistances and immunities.

Focus Punch (requires Sacred Fist)
Melee, Special Stamina, Low-Medium Cooldown
Channel Stamina into you fist, charging up a powerful attack. The longer you charge the attack, the faster stamina is absorbed, and the more damage the attack deals per stamina spent- this attack can easily cause an instant kill on even a tough opponent after a 10s charge. There is no maximum damage on the amount of damage this punch can do beyond stamina, but the user cannot move while charging this technique- meaning it can be defeated by the target simply moving out of the way or preparing a counter. Creatures that do no expend stamina or that have infinite stamina cannot use this technique, and methods and abilities that restore stamina used on or by the user fail while this technique is charging. Stamina Reducing effects do not affect either the charge time, the amount of stamina stored, or the amount of stamina lost in any way.

It takes on the longest range, the combined stamina cost, and the combined cooldown of both of those action commands. If there are contradictory effects on the move, you pick the ‘highest’ value (whether good of bad). Both of those action commands are placed on their normal cooldown when selected with this action.

Regular Stances

Sense Ki
Cast out extra-senses to espy the martial ability and life force of those around you. You become aware of creatures with an ML around you: the distance in metres from which you are aware them directly corresponds to 2 times their ML, eg you can detect ML 115 characters from 230m away. You discern the martial level of those you detect, in addition to their positions, but can detect little else about their character- with the exception that a Shen Fist can also discern any action commands being taken. This is a divination effect and is normally blocked by some divination blocking abilities, but if a character executes an action command while within range then this detection will bypass most divination immunities and counters protecting that character for as long as they are executing that command.

Utter Recklessness
Action Commands you use that deal damage to you, or have a chance to deal damage to you, based on the damage they deal, deal double damage.

Drunken Stagger (Requires Brewer or Monkey Fist)

Posture that Bespeaks Killing Intent (Master of Many Paths)
When using a kung fu strike or counter, do not apply any non-damaging effects; increase the damage of those techniques by a percentage amount, depending on the effect not applied (eg, a [Stagger] effect is likely a small increase, a [stun] effect is a moderate increase, and a [death] effect is a great increase).  Non-damaging effects includes critical chance, but not critical damage.

Convalescence (Requires Monk)
Sit and meditate, taking an extended action to begin channelling ki to heal yourself. Gain Regeneration and treat your CON as x3 for as long as you maintain this stance, and suspend the effects of any DOT you are receiving (the DOT duration does not run, but no damage is dealt). You cannot take any other actions while maintaining this stance.

Mantis Moves
(I’m going to steal some qigong aspects of Bear and use them here. Bear has the organs of spleen and stomach. It is associated with digestion and with concentration (so probably a good fit for mantis, with the long time praying and contemplating and all). Big digestion and acid vibe from Bear, which is good because I was planning on putting that stuff into Mantis. Associated with late Summer. Bears movements are generally wide and strong, but that is going to be supplanted by Mantis being quick and narrow in this adaptation. Mantis is has a lot of crossing a central line, in order to best control, and counters that are simultaneously strikes. Mantis is a difficult to master 1v1 style, combining blistering speed with precision strikes).

It also has simultaneous strikes and deflections though unlike mantis it does not do both with the one arm.)

The Illusory copy lasts only a few moments- about long enough for a standard attack, which it mirrors; if directly targeted for an action before then, it will disappear. Effectively grants concealment.

Monkey’s Mischief, Greater
Medium Ranged Target + all characters in a medium ranged AOE around target, Low-Medium Stamina, Medium Cooldown, Instant Duration

Phoenix Moves
(In Xingyiquan, it covers penetrating between an opponent’s limbs and into their body. Some straight takedowns are present in this school. Also called Goshawk or Sparrowhawk; basically a mish mash of any non-raptoral predatory bird. Xingyiquan has repeating 180 degree turns in Sparrowhawk style. One phrase I’ve heard was “folds it’s wings, pierces the sky, flips over”- which is well interpreted by elbow into palm strike into flipping the other guy, by the way, so put in a throw or two.  I looked it up, and turns out the hawk style has to do with both fire pounding and water drilling, wood bursting and a little bit of metal chopping but not too much. A little different to monkey, another fire ki style, it turns the whole body more, arms are bent more like wings, and it is a standing low to high rather than high with some crouching to make the attacks low. It being a pay to win Ygg SAC, it gives an unfair amount of aerial movement alongside).
(Also, some Phoenix moves inflict [Immolation]. [Immolation] is just to [Burning] what Primal Fire is to Fire. Most effects that interact with [Burning] do not interact with [Immolation], and [Immolation] does not require air to burn, and so is not put out through immersion or burial in a liquid or other substance).

Phoenix Strikes

Flaming Bird Ascension
Range based on ML, Low Stamina, Low Cooldown
Soar straight into the air at great speed, up to ML metres. Deal Primal Fire damage to targets within a short radius from of your movement. Stop harmlessly if you hit a ceiling or other obstacle directly above you.

Flaming Bird’s Descent
Maximum range is distance to the ground, Medium Stamina, 8 Hour Cooldown
Dive straight down to the ground. Deal Primal Fire damage in a radius on landing; damage and radius scale directly with distance travelled. User takes full damage form the fall, which cannot be prevented though double jumping or [feather fall] or similar; if fatal damage is received and user has Shining Bird Embraces Heaven daily uses remaining, user can avoid death by expending a daily use, simultaneously inflicting the daily move’s primal fire damage with added [Immolation] across Flaming Bird’s Descent’s area, in an implosion that follows the initial radial damage.

Sparrow-Hawk Sonic Strike
Long Range, Low Stamina, Moderate Cooldown
A gap closing technique, the user leaps high into the air before swooping into the target across a distance at great speed.

Talons pierce Pidgeon
Close range, High Stamina, High Cooldown
Attempt to pierce the target’s rib cage and pierce their vital organs. Inflict standard damage and [Death] on the target.

Snake Moves
(I’m stealing a lot of these qigong things from Deer; I’m working under the assumption people won’t use a deer stance or particularly mind. Anyway, so Deer is associated with the kidneys, the bladder, and with joy. Associated with birth and growth (and rebirth, I guess, if we take skin-shedding from Snake). Is associated with Winter. In Shaolin kung fu, in addition to the snake ‘fist’, the entire arm is treated as the snakes body- when blocking, the arm is curved around the attackers limb to bind it in place. The snake has an emphasis on swift movements and strikes, locking coils, and sensing enemies).
(The snake’s emphasis on awareness, particularly how it can sense an opponent’s movements through the vibrations of their body, means some moves have [true strike]. [True Strike] is like [True Seeing] for your fists, in that it lets your attacks ignore bullshit like concealment, invisibility, illusions, evasion, high speed, some counters, etc. [True Strike] is normally very rare, but the Snake Style has greater access to it than most).
(A few other snake moves inflict [seal]. Seal prevents the target limb or weapon from being used for a duration. Arms, legs, and weapons can be sealed. A head cannot normally be sealed, though it varies with physiology).

Snake Strikes

Qigong Water Strike
Melee, Very Low Stamina, Very Low Cooldown

Melee, Medium Stamina, Medium-Long Cooldown
Can only be used on a grappled target whilst you are grappling them. Inflict Heavy Bludgeoning and Heavy Cold Damage to target, with a high chance to [Seal] a targeted limb for a Medium Duration and a high chance to inflict [Slow].

Reaching up to draw down heaven (lightning), and reaching down to draw up Earth. Shouting, and balance. Its season is spring. If you’re the kind of guy who responds to aggression with fury, then Tiger might be for you. Tiger moves have notably higher stamina costs and are the least subtle and precise attacks, but tend to inflict significantly more damage than other animal styles)
