Ok, let's run through this now :)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=52106.msg2913059#msg2913059">Quote from: Arhys on 06-04-2010, 20:39:10</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Concept: Wuxia<br/><br/>Aspects:  14 pts.<br/>metal   3<br/>water   3<br/>fire   3<br/>wood   3<br/>earth   2<br/><br/>Gift/Weakness<br/>claws of the tiger / curiosity of the rat<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>That's all fine.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=52106.msg2913059#msg2913059">Quote from: Arhys on 06-04-2010, 20:39:10</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Skills<br/>Metal--Daoshu (dagger) 2<br/>          Hand to Hand     2 <br/>Water--Gongshu (archery) 2<br/>Fire--Eloquence 1<br/>Wood--Investigation 1<br/>Earth--Internal Alchemy 1<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>That's fine. One comment I would have is if you look at the description of the wu xia it says<br/><br/>"Awu xia is a martial arts practitioner whose goal in life is to improve his mastery of his chosen weapon. He will frequently live on the margins of the society of the Zhongguo, in the jiang hu. He may pursue a noble cause, or sell his fighting skills, but will always remain true to his dream of becoming the perfect warrior."<br/><br/>Rather than seeking master of one chosen weapon, you've selected 3 different ones here, and trained them to competent. There's nothing wrong in that, but I just thought I'd mention it. Additionally most wu xia go for something larger than daggers .. swords, spears, pole-arms and so on.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=52106.msg2913059#msg2913059">Quote from: Arhys on 06-04-2010, 20:39:10</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Techniques--ah, realized I am assuming I can take a level 2 skill without a level 1 first...anyway, here it is with that assumption<br/>hand-to-hand:  trap (2)<br/>daoshu:  direct hit (1), two weapons (1), double block (2)<br/><br/>Tao's--all at 1<br/>Tao of the Six Directions <br/>Tao of the Light Step<br/>Tao of Ten Thousand Hands<br/>Tao of the Inner Eye<br/>Tao of the Sudden Lightning<br/>Tao of the Hidden Shadow<br/>Tao of Yin Tang<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><br/>You have 15 points to spend on Taos and Techniques. 2 at level 2 and 2 at level 1 will cost 8 points, leaving you 7 for your Taos, so that balances. Again, you seem to be spreading your abilities over a fair range, rather than focusing on being better at one thing ... nothing wrong in it, but if you're aiming for the wu xia as a template, you might want to swap things around. It's your choice of course.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=52106.msg2913059#msg2913059">Quote from: Arhys on 06-04-2010, 20:39:10</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">The book I have has been redacted, I can't see tables for costs, but was using ooc anyway  There is another 60 points coming if I understood correctly?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Correct.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=52106.msg2913059#msg2913059">Quote from: Arhys on 06-04-2010, 20:39:10</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">So if I did this right Balance = 0, Chi=8, passive defense =16, breath of life = 21, resistance =5.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Chi is 16. You forgot to multiply the basic chi by the highest skill level .. another reason to specialise in one skill, if you want to boost your chi for your martial abilities. The rest looks fine.<br/><br/>Now, you have another 60xp to spend. New skills and Taos cost 4xp per level, and each level must be purchased in turn. Combat abilities cost 4xp per level, but don't have to be purchased in sequence. They are limited to your skill level in that particular weapon though.
