The PDF

Here's the final PDF. PLease let me know if you find I have missed anything and there aren't any typos in the text.(Or mistakes like missing costs, diagrams not agreeing with text, no weapons noted, etc.)

• Ok, a couple of the Charm Cascades are missing connecting prerequisite arrows between Charms. (In particular Fearsome Barghest, I think there were more here and there). Also, Still no mention of Style weapons for FB or Black Mourner. Great stuff though... - nikink

You can see the votes at MartialArts/BestOfOld. I took the top 15 because it gave a better spread of terrestrial, celestial & sidereal styles. - Voidstate

These are gorgeous! I'm so glad to have this. One thing that I noticed - an error I made in Persimmon Ocean of Joy. It's Sinking Topaz Essence Shape, not Seductive Nectar Strike, that should be the prerequisite Charm for the Golden Wine of Heaven Form. Also, on page 27 (Spider Style), some colums are breaking before Charm names, rather than after. - willows

Cheers Willows. I've made those changes. If anyone else notices any typos or errors please post here or email me(ferg at voidstate dot com). - Voidstate

I have to say I'm gushing today to see I got votes, much less in the pdf, which by the way Voidstate, is absolutely great. I love what you did with the look of Ashen Calander. This rocks. - haren

Can anyone suggest weapons/armour restrictions for the following styles: Black Mourner, Crimson Temple & Fearsome Barghest. And Armour restrictions for House Of Endings. Thanks. - Voidstate

When I used Crimson Temple, I used the khatar as its form weapon, but its ability to generate Essence weaponry makes this a little redundant. I suggest that the Black Mourner Style could use the staff, and Fearsome Barghest could use the dagger (It seems unwise to give it the same weapon as the Hungry Ghost Style). The House of Endings charms are deliberately written so that some permit armor (of any kind) and some do not. - willows

Actually, being as Black Mourner is Emo Fu, I would suggest wallet chains as form weapons. Anyway, I was going to print this out for my players to look through, but I remembered I'm running a Dragon Blooded game, and that would be silly. So, I think the next time we do this (ha!) there should be seperate voting for Terrestrial, Celestial and Sidereal styles each. ;P ~ Grandmasta, only half-joking

I was thinking maybe Black Mourner should have Flail (to represent the Censers bearing incense during funerals) as a Style weapon. Or maybe a WarFan to represent the fans used by the mourners... Just a thought. And I's give Fearsome Barghest Smashfists or Wargauntlets, if anything... - Nikink I cannot say thankyou enough, Voidstate... all your pdfs are so useful in my games...

Flails sound good to me. ~ G

There's an error in the flowchart for the advanced Diamond Weave Charms; Thread-Splicing Protocol is the second prerequisite for Clawing at the Weave. Also, I just fixed a mistake in Crimson Thicket of Bamboo Style... the prerequisite for Space-Stretching Gesture should be Crimson Chrysalis Technique, not Crimson Thicket of Bamboo Form. - Quendalon

Thanks for pointing those out. Iknew there's be some mistakes in there. I'll get them fixed tomorrow. - Voidstate

I'm actually kind of sorry I didn't vote for White Crane style instead. Oh well.  :)

I'ce made those changes to DWD style (the flowchart actually looks like a weave now!) and'll upload them on Monday (stupid work FTP restriction). As for White Crane, I think it's a shame it didn't make it. It's the kind of MA that a lot of characters could make use of in all different types of game. Maybe next time... :) - Voidstate
