 Monk Jun is a simple itinerant preacher, and a Fire Aspect. Despite being called a heretic by association with his dojo, he is still a passionate supporter of the immaculate philosophy. As he wanders the threshold, he often finds other itinerant immaculates willing to debate philosophy with him, and enjoys engaging in friendly sparring with them. However, there are those who take offense at his slightly off-beat preaching - or simply the fact that he is a preacher - and not all the fights he gets into are so friendly.

 This is my favorite of my Elemental styles. I also think it needs the least balancing. The only thing which may be too strong is Hide in the Lee, but I'm guessing it is balanced by the possibility of removing the offending hand.

 This is my favorite of my Elemental styles. I also think it needs the least balancing. The only thing which may be too strong is Hide in the Lee, but I'm guessing it is balanced by the possibility of removing the offending hand. I may have to make it easier to remove the hand, or reduce the bonuses, though.
 Anyone without a move at least as good as Shadow Over Water has no chance to avoid Fleeting Wings of Dust.

 * What GL mentions below is good. Also, I'd be open to an interpretation where you go on 0 regardless of your roll, but you still roll to help set the reaction count - and with the +2 that the charm gives you when you do.

 We forgot to have the environment attack us on tick 10, so I went back and rolled it out real quick. Surprisingly, neither of us was hit. -A.

 For the peanut gallery!
-As a suggestion as to how to handle the join battle action, I note that the charm explicitly notes that unless purposely staying out of things, ''everyone'' in the area rolls join battle. Given the large number of drunk patrons around, I might imagine that at least 5, if not 10 mooks will be rolling join battles that Descending Air needs to compete with. At the same time, it's up to you if you want to start it or not - that's a tactical decision, but I do think there's a way to give Descending Air some competition in the join battle. -- [[GreenLantern]]

 I think the mechanics of his dodge are you getting to throw him but not kick him - if the grapple attack is dodged, he'll get "thrown" anyway as a special effect of the dodging process, but there will be no follow-up damage roll.  - [[Hapushet]]
