The Art of Bending
Bending is a -10% modifier. It encompasses environmental effects, exotic countermeasures, and the need to perform gestures (-6 to for any use without body wide gestures). Rolls to bend may be made against a Meditation (plus talent) instead of IQ (plus talent).

Meditation may be taken as an optional specialization of Bending at an average skill. As a specialized skill it can only be used for Bending.

Abilities marked with an asterisk (*) may be not be purchased at a level higher than Mediation + Talent - 10 (Binding and TK may be five times this). Abilities marked with a double asterisk (**) cannot be higher than Mediation + Talent -15.

Any of the advantages under each style's advantage list may be taken as an alternate ability to the most expensive bending advantage. All the normal ready rules apply and only a ready ability may be used for an active defense.

Attacks that are blockable (-10%) may be blocked or parried with no modifier to parry. If the target fails a bare hand parry the attack may be taken against the parrying limb instead of the original target (as normal).

Control, DR, and Innate Attack may make defenses based Meditation (if higher). If the DR has the Active Defense limitation it can only Power Block with an AoD. Control provides DR 2 per level using a Power Block.

Cinematic skills included in each style seem to fit the world. They should be allowed with a Unusual Training perk.

I haven't bothered to calculate style costs, but it would be one point for style familiarity (perk), one point in each primary skill, at least one level of talent, and at least one level of the primary advantage.

Anyway, tell me what you think...
