 I'm off to look at your other charms. Also, I'd really appreciate if you could take a look at a martial arts style I posted, [[MartialArts/NorthernHunterStyle]], and comment. Thanks! [[Qaphsiel]]
-:: Thanks!  I love Brawling stuff, personally, and I figure it needs a bit of sprucing up.  No way it's the poor cousin of Martial Arts. :)  Alright, DLG... basically, you "add" the character's Brawl to the mobility penalty of his target's armor for the total subtracted from the target's soak.  So if you've got Brawl 5 and are wrestling a guy in Superheavy Plate (mob. pen -4), you subtract 9 from their soak.  This was pre-Power Combat, though, so now, I'm not sure I should keep this.  Actually, I know I shouldn't- it effectively negates, and worse, the armor of pretty much anyone not in magical gear, since Clinches Pierce now.  I'm considering either just subtracting the character's Brawl from any Armor Soak, or upping the cost significantly.  Any thoughts?  And, sure, I'll head over and take a look.  I have another wave of things to add to Melee- I got bored in class today, and started writing up my ideas for taking other types of Charms and putting them in Melee- and then I'll post. :) - IsawaBrian

 :::Hmm, yeah, that charm coupled with PC would make a pretty nasty clinch. I think to keep the charm where it's at and have a version that is appropriately powered, I'd note that under the PC rules you just subtract the Brawl from the soak.

 Is Tavern Fighter Weave supposed to suck against ranged attacks? Almost every other defense charm nowadays blocks both as if they're the same, I'm sure the various melee charms that used to have problems are officially treated as blocking ranged normally now. I certainly do... Should brawl be limited like that? It is, perhaps, in theme, but it seems a little, well... naff. <br> -- [[Darloth]]

 ***Against the Crowd Stance: This one is confusing because the second paragraph doesn't say how many activations the example has. (Reading it again, I think it's 2, but it's still confusing). So the way it works is:  First person who attacks you that turn, this charm has no effect. When each person who attacks you after the first attacks you, you get a number of full-pool reflexive blocks equal to the number of times you activated this charm, however you can only use them against that opponent. Correct?
 ***Wave Slaps the Beach: The Sta+Resistance difficult is basicly the damage of the attack, except Str doesn't count, correct? You might just want to add Essence or something else to prevent problems with high damage brawling aids. (Like the PC revision of Wood Dragon's Claw)

 ****Hmm... I'm just going to leave the multiattacks as they are for now.
 ****No.  You <i>can</i> use the defenses against your first opponent, if he attacks again.  There's just always going to be one person who can't be reflexively defended against this way.  Frankly, I think that may be a bit complex; I may just let the multiple-applications split up as the charm-user wants.
 ****I'm just going to leave it be for the moment; it's supposed to get help from those.  If I get a report of "Yeah, this didn't really work out right," from someone who tries it in play, I'll reconsider.

My suggestion would be to say "each invocation of this charm gives a number of reflexive defences equal to number of opponents who attacked the user last turn minus 1. This charm can only be invoked if the user was attacked by multiple opponents last turn." Assuming one's using predeclared attacks, your version works fine though. -FlowsLikeBits

 I don't do crunch very well, so I can't really comment on their balance, but I certainly like their flavor. Tavern-Breaking Spirit gives me the image of a character who carries around a folding chair everywhere so he can use his Brawl charms armed, though. Would it cease to be considered an improvised weapon, I wonder? Also, if you had access to a nonweapon artifact chair would it hit like a goremaul instead of a mace? -[[Ben-San]], asking silly questions

I think to keep the charm where it's at and have a version that is appropriately powered, I'd note that under the PC rules you just subtract the Brawl from the soak. I think that raising the cost isn't enough under PC, it seems like it should have another prereq too. -- [[Qaphsiel]]

 Is Tavern Fighter Weave supposed to suck against ranged attacks? Almost every other defense charm nowadays blocks both as if they're the same, I'm sure the various melee charms that used to have problems are officially treated as blocking ranged normally now. I certainly do... Should brawl be limited like that? It is, perhaps, in theme, but it seems a little, well... naff. <br> -- [[Darloth]]
-:: TFW is not meant to be any stronger or weaker than Dipping Swallow Defense.  As far as I know, neither the errata nor Power combat have changed it.  If it /is/ different, and I've missed it, I'd be glad to change it. ^_^  I certainly run it different in my own campaigns; I just try to keep the stuff up <i>here</i> in keeping with the Charms in the book. -- [[IsawaBrian]]

 Wow, cool. Brawl really needs charms, and these are quite good. Unfortunaly, I'd probably write my own anyway, but still...Impresive.

 *Against the Crowd Stance: This is very confusing. A reflexive defence is...a full pool dodge or block? Also: This means this charm does not help against the first person to attack you each turn? Also, does it depend on the number of then opponents, or number of attacks against you. I also don't get how stacking of it works. Sorry, I just can't tell what this is trying to do.
 *Waves Slap the Beach: What does "plus or minus any damage modification" mean? Just that damage penalties apply to the roll? I thought they did normally?
-*Thousand Meteors Strike: Again, which the clinch restriction? I think crushing everybodies throat would be pretty cool...(Yeah, brawl gets the [[UltraViolence]] stunts from me)

 : Big grins. :)  Thanks! By the by, it's 'clinch', not 'cliche'. :)

 ** Against the Crowd Stance: Full pool block, since it uses the Brawl Ability.  And, no, it doesn't.  This is meant to be a cheap reflexive-defender that works against multiple opponents- basically, so that a bunch of feebs don't overwhelm you by sheer numbers.
 ** Waves Slap The Beach doesn't do any actual damage.  It stuns people.  The amount of damage added by a brawl aid (or subtracted) or any other relevant damage modifications will increase difficulty to avoid the stun.

 Argh! Sorry. Spelling gremlins got me. Sorry about that, fixed.

 ***Against the Crowd Stance: This one is confusing because the second paragraph doesn't say how many activations the example has. (Reading it again, I think it's 2, but it's still confusing). So the way it works is:  First person who attacks you that turn, this charm has no effect. When each person who attacks you after the first attacks you, you get a number of full-pool reflexive blocks equal to the number of times you activated this charm, however you can only use them against that opponent. Correct?
 ***Wave Slaps the Beach: The Sta+Resistance difficult is basicly the damage of the attack, except Str doesn't count, correct? You might just want to add Essence or something else to prevent problems with high damage brawling aids. (Like the PC revision of Wood Dragon's Claw)

 ****Hmm... I'm just going to leave the multiattacks as they are for now.
 ****No.  You <i>can</i> use the defenses against your first opponent, if he attacks again.  There's just always going to be one person who can't be reflexively defended against this way.  Frankly, I think that may be a bit complex; I may just let the multiple-applications split up as the charm-user wants.
 ****I'm just going to leave it be for the moment; it's supposed to get help from those.  If I get a report of "Yeah, this didn't really work out right," from someone who tries it in play, I'll reconsider.

-*****Against the Crowd Stance: Ok, now I <i>think</i> I get how this works. This is kinda implicily assumes you know how many charachters will attack you each turn before they do. Normally, I don't think you know this till their init ticks come around, but it may be play style thing. My suggestion would be to say "each invocation of this charm gives a number of reflexive defences equal to number of opponents who attacked the user last turn minus 1. This charm can only be invoked if the user was attacked by multiple opponents last turn." Assuming one's using predeclared attacks, your version works fine though. -[[FlowsLikeBits]]

-****** Nah, it triggered whenever someone attacked, not at the beginning of the combat round.  So the guy with 3 iterations of the charm would have no defenses when 1 guy attacked, and then 3 when a second attacked, etc.  I changed it to work less weirdly, though. --[[IsawaBrian]]

 I don't do crunch very well, so I can't really comment on their balance, but I certainly like their flavor. Tavern-Breaking Spirit gives me the image of a character who carries around a folding chair everywhere so he can use his Brawl charms armed, though. Would it cease to be considered an improvised weapon, I wonder? Also, if you had access to a nonweapon artifact chair would it hit like a goremaul instead of a mace? -[[Ben-San]], asking silly questions
