Sabot
By Sinestus

While digging through my old D&D archives, I discovered a monk my brother had created a while ago, Jaques, who was a 'foot fighting' specialist and used the style Sabot. Unfortunately, the list of abilities was rather vague, and the best I could tell was it was a softer form of Kick Boxing, enhanced with a few holds. Either way, the character was rather interesting, thus I've decided to put the style up...
