I'm looking for a set of grandmaster monk buffs to eventually implement. They need to be strong/limited and very simple. It will be a bonus to whatever style they grandmaster tattooed themselves with

example
* monkey style = moves quickly only in forest rooms (by swinging thru trees - it will also actually say "Bob swings in." etc.)

Dont worry about throwing out insanely silly ideas as few will grandmaster anyway

what if you could sacrifice one of your forms to get a special Shaolin style at grandmaster level if your char is old enough?

Like if you have at least 300 hours or have been alive for 6 months, you can trade in Crane style for the Eagle Claw

There is no Shaolin to have a Shaolin style. Animal forms, sure, but Shaolin does not exist in Serin.

If you want to do a shaolin thing then maybe iron balls for some form.

What about the 虎鹤双拳 where you combine both tiger and crane together?

Then there is the 龙马精神 where you combine the dragon and (now defunct)horse which grants you a blessing of vitality, size and hp?

For phoenix style, I suggest the 凤抓 which creates the dim sum dish (chicken feet) that fills you up for a long time and grants some bonus for it's robust and exquisite taste?

While we're talking about food, 鱼与熊掌 let's the panda create and eat cooked food to boost its effects AND deals two hits (one water damage and one claw damage) so you can have BOTH filling your stomach AND attacking at the same time!

For leopard, 豹子胆 which induces rage but has the drawback of being too brave for one's own good (unable to flee)

For snake, 打草惊蛇 that allows the snek monk to create a commotion big enough that it draws and hidden/stealth-ed characters to come out of hiding?

Code:
then we need to give bards a skill to kick people in the nuts

Gotchu fam! 猴子偷桃 allows the monkey grandmaster to 'steal' the opponent's low hanging peach.

Finally, for the mantis grandmasters with a napoleon complex, 螳臂当车, which allows the monk to withstand body contact moves from characters larger than they are!

it's a shame we can't get the game to send the two-byte characters, we'll have to come up with western names to display the skills in-game
