Thanks for the feedback Straylor! You bring up good points, some of which I have already thought of as well. The reason I made Knees, elbows and headbutts in the professional level is because I figure that learning all the techniques up to professional level, all in basic level might be overload, not allowing the student to focus on training their punches, blocks and kicks. Think quality, not quantity.

Then once they have the basics down, then they can start to learn to use their punches mixed with an elbow technique, etc.

I like the grappling idea with horns. I think it would be a very good technique for them to learn in the professional stage. I'll add that in and combine elbowing and kneeing in the same paragraph (i am going by the 4 technique template other zinn'ka writeups)

The reason I never made a disarming technique was because I never pictured the traditional gladiatorial Crae'not to have fought against those with weapons... but that can be open for discussion.

Also having an attack where you can take on multiple opponent crossed my mind, but then I thought that multiple attacking is a skill on it's own is it not? I may be wrong, but I thought your character had to specially train in the ability to fight multiple opponents, kinda like duel wielding. (just because you can do some sword techniques with one hand doesn't mean you can do it with two swords at once, for example)

For having terrain be an advantage, I'm not really sure what would work, maybe sand kicking, but who knows we can discuss that one too. I just picture the roots of this zinn'ka to have been fought on sandy arena flooring. But I do like the idea of using the walls, which is why I used them in Bloody Rage technique.

As far as the cool moves, I just thought of these as more specialized significant moves, but definitly not the be all end all for a player to RP. I strongly encourage players to RP any technique they feel would suit their level, but I just thought there should be a few cool ones, as all the other Zinn'ka's seemed to have special attacks and whatnot.

Thanks again for the imput, I am open to any suggestions you still have and anyone else has, keep them coming! We can make this work!
