Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist: A martial art focusing on countering attacks and delivering surprising offensive assaults, capable of repelling, nullifying, or redirecting attacks with increased power.

Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist: Generates razor-sharp whirlwinds to chop opponents into pieces and push them back, incorporating cutting pressure into kicks.

Whirlwind Water Stream Roaring Aura Sky Ripping Fist: Advanced technique creating blasts of airstreams to break formidable opponents' defenses.

Cross Dragon Fang Slayer Fist: Combines martial arts to surpass individual techniques' power, requiring two masters to perform.

Exploding Heart Release Fist: Enhances strikes by synchronizing explosive heartbeats, generating powerful shockwaves capable of injuring deflectors.

Platinum Rings: Defensive technique rotating arms to deflect attacks.

You gain the following benefits as long as you are engaged in unarmed combat. You must actively and obviously be using Gauntlet to gain the benefits of this Effect.

+2 dice to rolls for Attacking, Defending, and Clashing without a weapon. Unarmed attacks do +4 Weapon Damage (instead of -1).

You may Defend against melee, projectile, or firearm Attacks from any range and Clash with those in range of your Attacks. Attacking materials like steel or spikes will not Damage you unless it has an Effect that does so.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Finesse: You may limit the Severity of any Injury you inflict or determine a maximum Wound Level to inflict on the target, including Incapacitated. You may also choose to make this Injury properly or improperly stabilized, or to keep it unstabilized.
  • Flow Like Water: If you win a Clash or successfully prevent an attack by Defending, you may instead redirect the incoming attack to another target within range. If you Defend, the redirected attack uses your positive Outcome after defending, if you Clash it uses the outcome in entirety if you win.
  • Jiu-Jitsu:When you successfully grapple an opponent, you may choose to also deal damage to them equal to the Contested Outcome on the grapple roll.
  • One Inch Punch: You may make a full attack against any target you can touch, even if you are restrained. To an observer, you hardly move. In a crowded area, determining that you were the source of an attack requires a Perception + Alertness roll with an Outcome of 4.
  • Precision Strikes: You may use Dexterity instead of Brawn to Attack and Defend. If you would successfully incapacitate a target using Finesse, you may opt to knock them out for one hour instead of having them suffer an Injury.

  • The total damage of a ju-jitsu grapple-attack is equal to your Outcome minus their Outcome. Bonus Damage from the Bonus Damage Parameter does not apply to damage dealt through this Enhancement.
  • Unlike the Ability Brawl, this Effect does not affect small weapons such as knives.
