Monk Attack Update/Addition: Reflex 06/12/2017 12:21 AM CDT

The Jab Punch Kick Grapple are good. I'm not fulfilled with Grapple to cover the huge amount of options for that. Reflex begins to update that some but will still prefer more.

REFLEX is a reaction based offensive which uses the motion of the foe to the advantage of the Monk. This is in line with martial arts philosophy which can be largely based on this ethic. It is part of grappling but is not the same as going into the enemy rather than using the enemy's own motion, mass, intention, etc. It is something which would be a really good added dimension to the Monk combat system.

I would imagine the NEUTRAL stance would be the minimum for it to function with a rise in advantage (push-down) for higher stances. The strike of the opponent is anticipated as best as possible with the Monk character attributes with the critter factored for the roll. The options are all kinds of flavors of take downs, combos, counter-punches and kicks and especially would be good to commonly result in a knock-down!
