-------------------------------------------------------------- -- Shaolin -- Stance : Dragon Level : 19+1 Attacks : kick,throw,throw,kick,punch Bonus : str, dragon punch, hp, weapondam, toughness, resistance,ac Specials : auto palm, heal on kill The form of the Dragon is one told through the ages as the key to enlightenment. The dragon represented two of the ancient elements, Earth and Water, endowing the creature with powers of elusion and power. The movements and applications of the dragon systems are dependent of the use of ch'i. The dragon make transitions in a fluid manner and this reptilian smoothness helps disguise its attack. The ch'i is substituted for muscular strength. For example, a tiger stylist would break a rock by sheer force and physical technique, while a dragon stylist would shatter it by ch'i projection. The disciple incorporates the deep hissing sounds to train ch'i flow. Inhaling is silent, but exhalation is deliberate, tense and controlled - driving power into each technique. -- Monk -- Level : 1 The monk's Dragon form is less versatile, but nearly as powerful as the Shaolin's form. The monk will give up a great deal of their defences in order to attack in a sustained and ferocious fashion. --------------------------------------------------------------
