Martial Arts

Echani Martial Arts

A culturally significant martial art that was developed by the Echani people who focused their lives around the unarmed combat style and belief that the only way to truly know someone was to fight them. To the Echani the fighting style also served as a means of communication and readying the movements and stances thus reading body movement was essential. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Echani_(martial_art)

  • Adapt: The Echani are able to read the body movements of their opponents to border on reading their actions before they do them, this effect is especially relevant when facing an opponent they have faced before. The martial artist receives an internal bonus equal to his or her level of mastery on all martial arts actions when in combat with an opponent they have previously fought. (Adapt +1, Acolyte +2, Master +3) With a successful Wits + Brawl roll (reflexive) the character may gain this bonus during combat after 3 rounds. (Each combatant taking 3 actions) When playing online the 3 actions of combat can be replaced with a single long tick of combat. (Prerequisites: Brawl 2, Level 1)
  • Acolyte: An Echani acolyte as refined his ability to read and study his opponents so much so that an acolyte needs not fight an opponent to learn to read his movements, he can do so simply from watching him. Acolytes gain the bonus from the adapt feat simply from having seen an opponent fight or if in combat. This feat also eliminates the need for a roll to gain the bonus after 3 rounds of combat. Taking this feat also increases the bonus received from +1 to +2. (Prerequisites: Brawl 4, Level 3)
  • Master: The Echani master can truly know his opponent only by fighting him, throughout combat the master can become so in tune to his opponent he can learn a great deal of information about his opponent. The master makes a reflexive Wits + Brawl roll after 3 rounds of combat with an opponent, the number of succeses on the roll determines how much and what type of information the character learns. Information is always at Storyteller Discretion. (Prerequisites: Brawl 4, Martial Arts Specialty: Echani Martial Arts 1, Level 5)
    • 1 Success: Race, Gender, Concept, Class, Level, Health Levels, etc...
    • 2 Successes: Virtue, Vice, Willpower, etc...
    • 3 Successes: Attributes, Force Potential Rating, Social & Physical DV's, etc...
    • 4 Successes: Abilities, Knowledges, etc...
    • 5+ Successes: Feats, Personal & Background Info, etc...
