Project NEMESIS

Mask of the Soul Drinker, the proprietary school of the Soul Drinker tribe, who have the Chironian floater as their totem spirit. Here's what I have so far:

Melhanese Staff Fighting can only be performed with a long walking staff, properly weighted. It is a very athletic discipline and benefits greatly from high levels of dodge, parry, and weapon:staff in order to get all of the synergistic effects as well as the basic benefits of the talents. The intention of this path is to provide a very active, cinematic fight scene with plenty of multiple actions driving the narration. It was inspired by a Livejournal discussion regarding Star Wars combat stunts using Reign.

A beast evolved in the lightless jungle, the chironian floater is a strange creature indeed: almost spherical and roughly four feet across, trailing four languid, boneless limbs beneath it, the floater drifts placidly and aimlessly through air and water, lighting the night with the gentle luminescence of the blue-green veins of its body. When flying the floater expands several airy, transparent flaps of flesh (far too small to actually carry it; experts suspect that the wings manipulate flows of magic to allow flight) - it also uses these as fins underwater. The floater can effortlessly transition between water and air, showing surprising speed beneath the waves.

Some new spells for various Sorcery schools.

Here are some more spells. Instant duration, combative casting time, no attunement for each unless otherwise noted. Most are low intensity. Many are (I'm afraid) D&D adaptations.

The monks of the Resplendent Willow monastery practice a strange form of pacifistic self-defense which they claim helps center the mind and body. The monks say that excessive effort in one's actions degrades the self, and that one should strive to achieve a state of "effortless effort" in all things. Though the philosophy escapes many, the efficacy of the techniques is undeniable. Their regimen combines intense studies of body language and spatial awareness, meditative exercises, and the occasional surprise beating to train students to avoid blows by the barest of degrees. Practitioners learn to avoid strikes without the frantic capering of the Insouciant Monkey school, but instead through measured and well-timed avoidance, never moving more than they have to.
