| Basic Style gets double attacks and weapon +4 damage, but armor class is only -2. Any weapon can be used. |
Basic Style gets double attacks and a +20 sit-mod, but no defensive adjustments. Any weapon can be used. |
| Untitled can have up to four maneuvers. Weapon Catch (1) can disarm an opponent. Because of the d10 Iron Fist (1), which can be used for full attacks, this style is still effective disarmed. Whether learned with the Meditation (1) or the Kensai/Shukenja variant Missile Deflection (1), the third maneuver does not affect duels. One more maneuver may be known. Weapon Breaker (2) is a more effective disarming tool. Sticking Touch (2) is difficult to break and gives -2 AC, +2 to hit, making AC -4. All-around Sight (2) rarely affects dueling. |
The Untitled can have up to five maneuvers. These will almost always begin with the Great Jump, followed by Panoramic Awareness and Fighting Blind defensive heightened sensory awareness, and will usually add Solid Punch. After that, there are quite a few which might be included, usually one of the defenses Missile Escape, Following Finger, or Muscle Blocking. |
| Master knows at least two, possibly all three, level 2 maneuvers. |
The Master will usually have all of those techniques under his belt, although sometimes one of the disarming techniques will be learned instead. |
| Honored Master must know Steel Cloth (3). Except against large opponents, this weapon is not better than Iron Fist, doing d10/d12, but it can perform Weapon Catch and Weapon Breaker. Blind Fighting (4) may also be known, reducing the penalties for darkness, blindness, or invisibility to -1 (from -4). |
The Honored Master usually learns at least one, possibly both, of the disarming techniques Seize Weapon and Break Weapon. |
| Most Honored Master knows all these and one more. Leap (5) permits escape and change of position. Iron Skin (5) improves AC by -2, making -4, or possibly -6 with Sticking Touch. |
The Most Honored Master almost always adds Improvised Cloth Weapon, making it simple to find a weapon at need. |
| Most Highly Honored Master knows all of these. |
The Most Highly Honored Master generally adds Alert Rest last to his abilities, a valuable skill for adventurers and students and others who cannot afford time for sleep, with little use in combat. |
| Overall the style has no maneuvers specifically designed to stun or disable, and none directed at limited field (ring competition) combat. |
