==== Crane Wing ====
  * **Requirements:** Crane Style, [[chargen:common_terms#core_stats|CST]] 10, 25 EXP

When fighting defensively with at least one hand free, you gain an additional +1 dodge bonus to Armor class and may take a penalty on attack rolls for every 4 HD you have to gain an additional dodge bonus equal to the penalty on attacks.

If you using the total defense action instead, you can deflect one melee attack that would normally hit you. An attack so deflected deals no damage and has no other effect (instead treat it as a miss). You do not expend an action when using this Talent, but you must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed.

You may Parry a number of attacks per round equal to the dodge bonus provided by Crane Style.
