The Art of DRUNKEN BOXING:

By David Caplan. All Rights Reserved2006-2007 David Caplan and Dreamknights Inc. By drinking great quantities of spirits, the Drunken Boxer makes his body tougher, his strength mightier, fury stronger, and he becomes supplerbut there is a price to pay. The Drunken Boxer must recover from his binges and loses the ability to perform his other skills while drunk. The Drunken Boxer might also become sluggish of mind, slower to move, become a mean drunkthe spirits changing his dispositionand in the worse cases, become addicted to drink. But those who master this odd fighting art become nearly indestructible.

Becoming a Drunken Boxer:

You must find a teacher. The list costs 2 Build for Monks, Martial Artists, and Samurai; 5 Build for Brawlers, Fighters, Berserkers, Grizz, PrideManes, Apes, and Dwarves; and 10 Build for all others. Monks need only be 7th level to train; all others, 10th level and above. (*Some teachers may accept something else other than Build to cover the cost of the list.) DIVING IN THE BAG & THE HANGOVER: Getting drunk enough to use your skills takes 2 minutes (10 shots of sake or 10 ales adjust for Racesminus half for smaller races, double or triple for giant racesand a Drunk lasts for 20 minutes. Following inebriation, the Boxer suffers a hangover for 1 hour:

Hangover Penalties:
-1 to all attacks (no less than 1d). You lose all extra body gained from drunken skills. -20 to iron body (if applicable) because of lack of focus. Cannot use Chi skills above novice level for the duration of hangover. If the Monk is 0 or below in body when the extra body wears off, he is unconscious, about to die.

ROLE-PLAYING the DRUNKEN BOXER:

To be a Drunken Boxer, you must: Fight as if LOADED! Slur, stumble, act moody, almost out of control of your body and actions, pick fights for funattempt to get as many people loaded as possible. (Obviously no real liquor may be consumed at events so you must act well.) Ways to be an exceptional drunkard: See pink elephants or the like, find your feet funny, redden your nose and cheeks with rouge, dishevel yourself and costume, have jugs of fluids to substitute for liquor (we suggest something with high caffeine).

During your hangover period: Remember you are hurting (you are headachy, drymouth, nauseated, sleepyetc. If you do not role-play well, a Marshal WILL CALL YOUR SKILLS INEFFECTIVE and, INSTANTLY, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR DRUNK and be HUNGOVER. 2

DRUNKEN BOXING RESTRICTIONS for Lower Ranks:

Rank V: SIFU (Perfected Master) of SPIRITS:

Before a Drunken Master can become a PERFECTED Master, another Perfected Master will take him bingeing so much so that he becomes addicted to booze in the game. The addicted DUNKARD now needs serious quantities of booze and will go after it like a man in the desert searches for watereven violently! He will forget all other purposes in life (even a Paladin!). (Up to the GMs discretion.) During addiction, the Drunkard loses: All skills other than Drunken Boxing Skills (except Continuous skills) even Chi Skills! They suffer -4 Strength and Speed (if they have any Speed, but no less than 0). They also lose any skill that turns water into Sake. During this time the DRUNK will lose 30 Build of his other skills forever! (GM or Teacher Chooses.) (Build goes in a Build Box.) Hangovers now last for 1 hour. If they go without a drink for 2 hours you suffer -1 Strength and become violent. When the Drunkard hits bottomhis Master will send them on the DRUNKARDS QUEST to rid them of their addiction. (GM will make this.) Upon successful completion of the Drunkards Quest, the Build Box may now be respent in the Drunken Boxing Lists, but all must be learned normally. ***BUT the Master has still not become a Perfected Master They must fight one of the 4 Perfected Masters to the Death for their Post. There can only be 4 PERFECTED MASTERS of Spirits at any time (each with his own Perfected Masters List). Sifu of Lotus Wine Perfected Brewer of Mushroom Tea The Fearsome Iron Grog Bar Bear The Mad Master of Sake Fire

When a fifth passes the PERFECTED MASTER QUEST, he must fight one of the other Perfected Masters to the DEATH for the Title using only his Drunken Skills. The Victor gains 5 Build + the Losers Level in Chi Points. The Defeated loses the last 4 skills bought off the Drunken Masters List + the Skill Drunken Master. They may only relearn the skills at a rate of 1 Skill per Moon (not including the Drunken Master Skill). If the Challenger loses, he must become the pupil of the master who beats him until he climbs up again and may again challenge. Should the Master Lose: He has a choice of now following the New Perfected Master or striking out on his own. Continued: 7

Bonuses and Restrictions of the PERFECTED

MASTER:

A wiser stronger monk indeed! The Perfected Master is now considered Drunk all the time. You now have access to the List for your new Title (see GM). You must take all challenges to your post on the spot or lose your title. You now use fresh water instead of booze to fuel your drunken skills (though you must hide this fact or lose all skills forever). A wiser stronger monk indeed! You must pretend your Drunks last for 1 hour and hangovers last for 20 minutes. You gain Spirits into Water skill: Can change any liquor into water with Chi just by touching it or the container it is in. 1 x Level per period. The Break Wind skill may be used 4 times per period. Add +5 effect to all Drunk skills (damage, rolls, seconds, etc., only one effect per skill). You may now invent lower level Drunken Boxing skills (at GMs discretion). You must now give your manual and all new pages to the Grand Master of Dragons for safe keeping. There is no Drunken Boxing Level higher than Perfected Master. If you become a Master in another Martial Arts Skill Tree, you must vacate your position as a Perfected Master of Spirits. (Monks, Martial Artists, and Samurai may be Masters of another Martial Art but not a Respected Master.) *See below for details.

Progression to Grand Master:

Attaining Perfected Master of Drunken Boxing was a long and arduous task indeed. This great feat now allows you to proceed onto higher levels of Martial Arts Status if you choose, but you must relinquish your title. To become a Master, Respected Master, Great Master, and Grand Master in another MA Tree, you must relinquish your spot as one of the 4 Drunken Perfected Masters. (Monks, Martial Artists, and Samurai may be Masters of another Martial Art but not a Respected

Master.) You may retain the title but may no longer invent lower level Drunken Skills. You may not use your skills more than 1 day out of an event, and you may not train off the Drunken Boxing List ever again. Monks now attain access to RESPECTED MASTER MA TREE LISTS. Martial Artists and Samurai now have access to RESPECTED MASTER MA LISTS. All others now have access to MASTER MA LISTS. Congratulations Tipsy Grasshopper.
