Tao of the Crab
Advanced Qi Form [Tao]
Prerequisites: Qi Rank 4
Disciplines: Balance
No Action
Effect: You channel Qi into your front limbs and angle your arms to strike at foes with a widened grasp. You may use the following modifiers with your Qi Strike:
Grasping [Opener, Grapple]
Cost: 1 Stamina
Effect: Your limbs, infused with spiritual energy, snap around your target while crushing the area you have grabbed. Before the attack, make a Touch Attack on the target (which does not grant an Opportunity and automatically hits if the target is grabbing you). On a hit, make an Opposed Grapple Check. If you succeed the check, the target is Grabbed and automatically hit by this use of Qi Strike. If you fail the Touch Attack or Grapple Check, your Qi Strike automatically misses.
Shielded [Transformation]
Effect: Your skin grows chitinous as you grasp you enemy. On a hit, gain a +2 bonus to AC and Reflex for the next 10 segments.
Crab [Heart, Grapple]
Effect: Your powerful hands clasp around your target. On a hit, you may make an Opposed Grapple Check. If you succeed the check, the target is also Grabbed. If the target is already grabbed, you instead deal +2WD.
