  Player ParaPhernalia #46
  By the Knotty-Works
  Welcome to the forty sixth 
  issue of Player Paraphernalia, a 
  hodge podge of character ideas and 
  alternate rules that may be used with 
  the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game (Paizo, Inc©).  
  This issue introduces the Flowing Water martial 
  arts style.  Focusing on using specific set of one 
  handed or double weapons generally considered 
  exotic (many of Eastern persuasion) the style 
  grants the character a specific set of abilities while 
  wielding his chosen weapon.
  Flowing Water Style
  For many, the art of war is seen as a force of 
  nature and true mastery relies on the wielder’s 
  ability to learn how his weapons become 
  a natural extension of himself.  The flowing 
  water style of martial arts allows the student 
  to learn specific martial skills from his chosen 
  weapon(s) found on the Flowing Water Style 
  Weapons Group.  Many of these weapons are 
  light, one handed, or double weapon and 
  practitioners of the Flowing Water style learn 
  to wield two weapons just as effectively as a 
  single weapon.
  Flowing Water Style Weapons Group:  Bo Staff, 
  Butterfly Sword, Chan Zi Dao, Daito, Deer 
  Horn Knife, Douoble-Chained Kama, Double 
  Chicken Sabre, Fighting Fan, Fire and Wind 
  Wheel, Gunbai, Half Moon Blade, Handaxe, 
  Jutte, Kama, Khopesh Sword, Kunai, Kusari-
  gama, Kyoketsu-shogi, Lajatang, Monk’s 
  Spade, Nunchaku, Punching Dagger, Qian 
  Kun Ri Yue Dao, Quarterstaff, Sai, Sang Kauw,  
  Shang Gou, Shoto, Siangham, Sickle, Star 
  Knife, Sun and Moon Ring, Tambo, Tonfa, Yin 
  Yang Blade, and Yuen Yang Blade
  Flowing Water Style
  You are a master of your weapon and it flows 
  from the wellspring of your very soul.
  Prerequisites:  Weapon Focus (flowing water 
  style weapon group), Acrobatics 3 ranks
  Benefit:  When you enter the 
  stance of the Flowing Water 
  Style while armed with a weapon 
  or weapons from the flowing water 
  weapons group with which you have the 
  weapon focus feat, you are treated as having 
  the two-weapon fighting feat, with the penalty 
  for the primary attack reduced by 2 and the 
  off-handed attack penalty is reduced by 6.  In 
  addition, if you are attacking defensively or 
  taking the total defense action, you gain a +2 
  dodge bonus added to the bonus granted by 
  the action taken.
  Plunging Breaker
  You sweep your opponent’s legs right out from 
  under him.
  Prerequisites:  Flowing Water Style, Acrobatics 
  5 ranks
  Benefit:  You do not provoke an attack of 
  opportunity while using your chosen weapons 
  to perform a trip combat maneuver.  You 
  may use either your primary or off-hand 
  attack to disarm an opponent, applying the 
  two-weapon attack penalty to your CMB if 
  using this feat as part of a full round attack 
  action, but you may only attempt to trip 
  one opponent once per turn.  You do gain 
  a +2 bonus to your CMD when an opponent 
  attempts to trip you while you are wielding 
  your chosen weapons.
  Rushing Waters
  You have learned to lock your opponent’s 
  weapon with your own weapons and with 
  a sudden twist remove his weapon from his 
  grasp.
  Prerequisites:  Flowing Water Style, Acrobatics 
  8 ranks
  Benefit:  You do not provoke an attack of 
  opportunity while using your chosen 
  weapons to perform a disarm combat 
  maneuver.  You may use either your 
  
  2
  primary or off-hand attack to disarm an 
  opponent, applying the two-weapon attack 
  penalty to your CMB and you may only 
  attempt to disarm one opponent once per 
  turn.  You do gain a +2 bonus to your CMD 
  when an opponent attempts to disarm you 
  while you are wielding your chosen weapons.
  Spilling Breaker
  You can distract your opponents with the 
  rhythmic movements of your weapons, 
  providing an opening to strike true.
  Prerequisites:  Flowing Water Style, Bluff 5 ranks
  Benefit:  While making a full attack with 
  your chosen weapons for the Flowing Water 
  style, you may spend a swift action to feint 
  your opponent.  If successful, the opponent 
  is denied his Dexterity modifier for both his 
  primary and off-handed attack, though both 
  of your attacks suffer an additional -1 penalty.
  Sundering Torrent
  Your ravaging blows can rip apart the 
  toughest armor and smash the strongest of 
  weapons.
  Prerequisites:  Flowing Water Style, Rushing 
  Waters, Str 10
  Benefit:  You may attempt to sunder an 
  opponent’s weapon or armor with your 
  chosen weapon without provoking an attack 
  of opportunity.  You may use either your 
  primary or off-hand attack to sunder your  
  opponent’s weapon or armor, applying the 
  two-weapon attack penalty to your CMB and 
  you may only attempt to sunder one item 
  once per turn.  You do gain a +2 bonus to your 
  CMD when an opponent attempts to sunder 
  your weapon or armor.
  New and Reworked Weapons
  Weapons associates with martial arts are 
  generally regarded as exotic and deadly 
  compared to the more traditional fantasy 
  weapons found from European descent.
  Bokken
  These wooden practice swords come in 
  various sized based off of the sword from 
  which they are modeled.  The daito is the 
  typical long sword modeled after the katana, 
  the shoto is modeled after the wakazashi, 
  and the tantobo is a dagger sized 
  practice weapon.  All bokken cause 
  bludgeoning damage and both the daito and 
  shoto may be used to block attacks, granting 
  the wielder a +1 shield bonus to his AC when 
  fighting defensively. 
  Although generally not regarded as deadly as 
  their metallic blade counterparts, bokken can 
  prove just as lethal in the hands of a master 
  swordsman.
  Monk Double Weapons
  There are several exotic looking hafted double 
  weapons that include elements related to the 
  monk’s spade.  The lajatang includes crescent 
  shaped blades on either end.  The Qian Kun 
  Ri Yue Dao include curved blades on the 
  ends with two crescent shaped extensions 
  mounted along the side of the weapon’s haft.  
  The Chan Zi Dao is similar to the Qian Kun Ri 
  Yue Dao but straight single edged blades are 
  mounted on each end.  The sang kauw consists 
  of a crescent blade in the center of the shaft 
  and each end terminates with a spear.
  Other Martial Arts Weapons
  Fire and Wind Wheel is similar to the star knife 
  in appearance, though it is a little larger with 
  more projecting blades interspersed along 
  its out ring and a secondary crescent blade 
  on the interior of the ring.  It can be used 
  both for piercing and slashing attacks 
  and it can be used to capture an 
  
  3
  opponent’s weapon on the interior of the ring 
  and then twisted to effectively disarm the 
  opponent. 
  Gunbai is a metal or wooden fan that may 
  be used to black attacks or make slashing 
  or bludgeoning attacks.  Unlike the fighting 
  fan, the gunbai is not collapsible.  Gunbai 
  are often used by upper echelon soldiers 
  and commanders to issue orders over great 
  distances by a specific set of signals and 
  motions made with the gunbai.
  Half Moon Blade is a light slashing weapon 
  that has a single crescent shaped blade with 
  a cross-guard tied to the to end points of the 
  blade.  Often used with two weapon 
  attacks.
  Sun and Moon Ring is nearly identical to 
  the fire and wind wheel without the flaming 
  projections.  It is used for making slashing 
  attacks and may be used to disarm an 
  opponent’s weapon in the same manner as 
  the fire and wind wheel.
  Tambo is a stout rod of wood or metal 
  between 12 to 18 inches used for jabbing 
  or striking an opponent.  The tambo is also 
  used for performing joint locks and if used 
  as part of a grapple, the wielder gains a +1 
  circumstance bonus for the grapple combat 
  maneuver check.
  Tanto is the dagger sized version of the 
  wakazashi and katana with a single 
  sharpened edge and chiseled point.

  blade is known for making deep gashes.
  Yin Yang Blades come in pairs and have a 
  tear shaped blade that can be used to makes 
  slashing or piecing attacks.
  Yuen Yang Blade is an exotic steel weapon 
  with several sharpened edges and multiple 
  points including a large spear point at one 
  end.  It appears similar to the shang gou in 
  appearance but with a lateral handle similar 
  to the tonfa.  Although sold individually, 
  they are often used in pairs as part of a two 
  weapon attack combination.
