Oh wait, no they didn't! In fact, only one of them has it on basic! The Advanced level isn't that important anyway, unless you want to avoid going prone at all.

Croughing Monk? Is that a disease?
Heh, anyway... I cannot recommend CM like I recommend Storm Turtle... which really IS vital all the time... but I would still HIGHLY recommend it. Without CM you can actually go around just fine most of the time- but meet a guy who specialises in prone attacks and without CM you are totally buggered! And yes, Advanced is only any good if you want to not go prone in the first place... frankly, though, that is damn handy! Being sent Prone is an arse! I note not many people attempt to use the prone tactics themselves- but interesting to see how Blocking- totally ignored when people first made characters- is now getting a lot of attention! That is play experience for you, I guess... nonetheless, I think it pays to not forget how useful the basic skills are. Do not knock yourself out trying to be too complex.
I do indeed note no-one is using Tightening Coils. That surprises me! One of its powers subtracts three exertion from you at the start of a round. That means you fast Hackers could start at -6. That gives you one HECK of an edge! Tightening Coils is very good, the only problem is if you take lots of actions in a round you tend to run out of focus. When designing the powers for this game one of the mains things we thought about was the focus/exertion relation- how much focus does the average character need in a round? How much is an extra action worth if you have nothing to power it? We have a ratio (which I think we named phi) which dictateds the basic amount a fighter needs and then based the system around that. For example, Blocking is very cheap for its effect. But it is VERY haphazard- you need to gamble focus on the idea that you will be missed. Hence, Blocking is extra effort in return for a low focus strategy.
In contrast, Sharpened Scales and Jade Emperor are very pricey. They have extreme effect, but they cannot be sustained (if anyone ever does sustain them over the course of a round we would simply re-write the system so you can not). So to use them properly you either need to be high focus, or low speed.
No-one uses the Nunchuks- and I appreciate that Path is only 50% complete- but they are actually the low focus strategy weapon. You should be able to use Nunchuk powers continuously even with low focus.
I se Iron butterfly is catching some attention as well, huh?
I am afraid joining mid-game is not practical, Hammurabi, but if you talk with other new players- including Rusky- and decide to give things a go I can design a new training mission for the new guys.
A brief glance at these new load-outs look fine. As the end of the current Assignment(s) approach, though, I may throw a few new rules in, of course.

Coil of the Snake is also incredibly handy whenever you NEED to act right away, regardless of exertion. Just pay X+1, where x is the amount of exertion before you would act again, and you act right then! Ares right now in the fight is steuggling with trying to get an action in- Coil would solve that, it would cost him two exertion to get the action right away.

Heh, neat... but depending on how your stats end up, you will probably want morer combat skill.

 More people forgetting passwords?
And you'd need a lot of focus to be able to use Tightening Coils...especially starting out with -6 exertion, you could easily blow all your focus in one or two turns like that. Unless you're like Burn and like to just shoot things

Yup, needing less focus has always been a trait of gunners.
