So, lets summarise Wu Sung before we start spending our bonus XP<br/><br/><strong>Aspects</strong><br/>Metal 4<br/>Water 3<br/>Fire 3<br/>Wood 2<br/>Earth 2<br/><br/><strong>Gift and Weakness</strong><br/>Courage of the Tiger<br/>Impetuosity of the Horse<br/><br/><strong>Skills:</strong><br/><em>Metal</em><br/>Bangshu (stick) (2)- Hold at Bay and Total Block<br/>Hand to Hand (2) - Strangle<br/><br/><em>Water</em><br/>Dodging (2)<br/><br/><em>Fire</em><br/>Intimidation (1)<br/><br/><em>Wood</em><br/>Perception (1)<br/><br/><em>Earth</em><br/>Legends (1)<br/><br/><strong>Taos</strong><br/>Tao of Sudden Lightning (1)<br/>Tao of Yin and Yang (2)<br/>Tao of the Destructive Breath (1)<br/>Tao of Six Directions (1)<br/><br/>Breath of Life : 19<br/>7 - Normal<br/>5 - Bruised<br/>4 - Slightly injured<br/>2 - Serious injured<br/>1 - Fatally injured<br/><br/>Chi: 12<br/><br/>Passive Defense: 7<br/><br/>All new skills, taos and techniques cost 4 xp per level you want to move to. Aspects cost 5 times the level you want. I have 60 XP to spend.<br/><br/>Wu Sung has spent the last few months travelling the land, and doing heroic deeds. Let's see what he has picked up along the way.<br/><br/>He spent a month travelling with a Fang Shi, who taught him more of the spirit world, and the creatures that lurk in the dark places, and how to better channel his chi. He has also started to learn how to read and write<br/><br/>Calligraphy (1) - 4 points<br/>Exorcism (1) - 4 points<br/>Increase Earth from 2 to 3 - 15 points<br/><br/>In chasing and capturing the bandits of the Howling Ghost Wind gang, he learned a little more of bureaucracy in dealing with magistrates, and a few other things out in the wilds.<br/><br/>Bureaucracy (1) - 4 points<br/>Survival (Forest) (1) - 4 points<br/>Bangshu (2) to (3) - 12 points<br/><br/>Tao of 6 directions (1) to (2) - 8 points<br/>Tao of the Destructive Breath (1) to (2) - 8 points<br/><br/>which leaves us 1 XP left over. Can't do much with that, so bank it for now. And lets see how our character has now changed.<br/><br/><strong>Aspects</strong><br/>Metal 4<br/>Water 3<br/>Fire 3<br/>Wood 2<br/>Earth 3<br/><br/><strong>Gift and Weakness</strong><br/>Courage of the Tiger<br/>Impetuosity of the Horse<br/><br/><strong>Skills:</strong><br/><em>Metal</em><br/>Bangshu (stick) (3)- Hold at Bay and Total Block<br/>Hand to Hand (2) - Strangle<br/><br/><em>Water</em><br/>Dodging (2)<br/>Survival (Forest) (1)<br/><br/><em>Fire</em><br/>Intimidation (1)<br/><br/><em>Wood</em><br/>Perception (1)<br/>Calligraphy (1)<br/>Bureaucracy (1)<br/><br/><em>Earth</em><br/>Legends (1)<br/>Exorcism (1)<br/><br/><strong>Taos</strong><br/>Tao of Sudden Lightning (1)<br/>Tao of Yin and Yang (2)<br/>Tao of the Destructive Breath (2) - Doors and support beams are no match for his strength<br/>Tao of Six Directions (2) - Wu Sung is even faster, and can now defy gravity, being able to run up a 3 meter wall.<br/><br/>Breath of Life : 19<br/>7 - Normal<br/>5 - Bruised<br/>4 - Slightly injured<br/>2 - Serious injured<br/>1 - Fatally injured<br/><br/>Wu Sung has increased his highest skill level (2 to 3), and his earth so now needs to increase his chi to reflect that.<br/>Chi: Balance x Earth x Skill = 3 x 3 x 3 = 27<br/><br/>Passive Defense: 7<br/><br/>Wu Sung, the Magnificent Tiger Slayer is now ready to go out and watch the story of his deeds grow, and become a legend to inspire future generations.<br/><br/>Hopefully this has helped people get an idea of how to put a character together. If you want to know the specifics of any rules (Tao level abilities and Magic in particular), let me know.
