Defenses
Wards:
(the defensive wards around the courtyard are all in layers. The first a repulsion effect
The first level of the ward causes the offending creature to suddenly feel the urge to leave or stop approaching the courtyard. To continue to do so will cost the creature a WP point per turn.
The second level of the ward causes 3levels of lethal Dmg per turn, but unsoakable as it keeps approaching.
The third level is a repelling wave of force striking the offender for 4pts of Agg. Damage and sending it reeling from the courtyard up to 100ft away or back into the umbra)

(The protective wards shield the courtyard from intrusion by way magicks and magical surveillance. They do not harm the caster just block magick or cloud attempts to look into the courtyard this way. Both protective spells mislead the caster of the offending magick. They cause spells to affect things elsewhere instead of in the actual courtyard or for the view to see things in another place.)

Class rank and Martial arts

Players will wish to know how their characters are ranked ooc for their IC place ment. This is done as a combination of two primary skills and three secondary. The two primary count for the most ; and they are Martial Arts and a Knowledge skill appropriate to the Martial art taken. (IE: Kung Fu, Karate, Judo)
   This is done to repesent the other part aof martial arts training. History, philosophy and discipline. This additional mental training is what seperates a guy who knows how to punch things from say...Jet Li.
   The ratings go as follows:
                         MA 5 + MAskill 4-5 + Ath/Dodge/Melee Avg 4= Senior Student
                         MA 4-3 + MAskill 2-3 + Ath/Dodge/Melee Avg 3=Intermediate
                         MA 3-0+ MAskill 1-0 + Ath/Dodge/Melee Avg 2=Beginner

    Other skills that will be looked at by request are meditation, medicine and philosphy or history. However as a rule ALL students of the kwoon are expected to purchase the knowledge skill Kung Fu. This skill should always be within one rating of your MA score to represent your training.
    During testing or learning a new MA manuever, it is asked that the character roll a Test with INT+ MAskill vs diff 8. If sucessful, then the new move is aquired.
