No Shadow Kick

The Shadowless Kick (Chinese: 無影腳; pinyin: wúyǐngjiǎo) is a martial arts technique associated with the martial arts master Wong Fei Hung. Said to be so fast that it casts no shadow, the Shadowless Kick actually involves launching a fast, swift front kick while an opponent's attention is drawn elsewhere, usually by keeping his arms occupied.

The traditional Chinese long robe offers an additional way to execute the Shadowless Kick. By flipping the front of one's robe towards one's opponent, his view of the kick underneath is obscured.

While widely exaggerated by Jet Li's Wong Fei Hung in the Once Upon a Time in China movie series as a flurry of aerial kicks, you can actually see a glimpse of the real kick, when Jet Li's character kicks his student, Butcher Lam or "Porky" as a reprimand, in one of the scenes of the first movie in the series.

Another example can be found in Jackie Chan's first Drunken Master movie. The antagonist uses the Shadowless Kick as a bit of a signature move and executes it by flailing his kicking leg rapidly to confuse his opponent before making the strike.

For Wuxia Dárdünah, I like to lean toward the greater as opposed to the lesser. Therefore I am designing it as such, try it in your game and see how it plays...

No Shadow Kick Adjustment: -2 Actions: ? Damage: unarmed damage per janah size, each successful attack costs no action from this rounds's total.

Description: multiple kicks in rapid succession that behave like a fast draw in terms of action usage. The practitioner unleashes a literal blur of snap or roundhouse kicks from the knee, attacking so fast that the opponent can discern only a blur, making the attacks harder to block. The attacker determines how many of his actions he would like to devote to the attack and rolls to hit for each attack. The defender rolls once to defend and removes one attack for each attack roll that his single defense roll exceeded.

Example: Wong Fei Hung, who has 7 actions this round, unleashes his "no shadow kick" against Han Do Jin (Heng Won's son) deciding to attack five times saving two actions for defense this round. He rolls five attacks and gets 8,7,7,5 and 4 successes. Han Do Jin rolls his defense and gets 6 successes, negating the attacks with 5 and 4 successes. Wong Fei Hung marks off two actions from his round's total, representing the two kicks that were defended against and rolls the damage for his three kicks that got through the Han Do Jin's defenses.

I like to also call this "The Chun Li" (from Street Fighter video games) or "The Kenshiro Hokotu" after the protagonist of Fist of the North Star.
