===== Ascetic Style ===== ==== Ascetic Form ==== * **Requirements:** [[chargen:common_terms#core_stats|CST]] 8, 20 EXP You may apply the effects of Talents that affect or otherwise augment unarmed strikes. For example, this Style allows you to use [[paths:perfect_path|Path of the Perfect Self]] Talents through the chosen weapon, such as Stunning Fist or Flurry of Blows. ==== Ascetic Strike ==== * **Requirements:** Ascetic Form, [[chargen:common_terms#core_stats|CST]] 12, 30 EXP You may spend 5 [[game_systems:tactic_pool|TP]] as a Full Round Action to make a devastating single attack. Roll one attack at your highest Base Attack Bonus, and gain a +1 bonus on the attack roll for every additional attack you would normally be capable of making. Upon a successful hit, you deal damage as if all attacks you were capable of making hit successfully. Missing the attack still expends the TP. For example, if Shozin the warrior has a Prowess of 11, he may spend 5 TP to make an Ascetic Strike against his chosen target. Because his Prowess is 11, Shozin would normally have 3 attacks as part of a Full Attack Action, meaning he gains +2 to this attack roll. On a normal hit, Shozin deals 1d8 + 10 damage with his blade, but on a successful Ascetic Strike, he deals 3d8 + 30 damage instead.
