Report #1853
Skillset: Nunchaku Skill: Xianchuk
 Org: Gaudiguch Status: Submitted Feb 2018
Problem: We have 1 base stance dust aff. Since Xianchuk is the only arm action
from base->centre that gives affs, we lack a bit of variety, essentially only
being able to target the same bodypart each form and relying primarily on
posions to maintain a dust stack. Being blunt based monks the dust stack is an
important part of our arsenal allowing us to pressure bruising while still
building hemo to setup our instakill.
[A: 8 R: 2] Solution #1: Add a dust aff to Xianchuk. Suggestions are adding
 Haemophilia to arms. This also provides more options
 to target.
[A:11 R: 0] Solution #2: Add a dust aff to Xianchuk. Suggestions are adding
 Scabies to legs. This also provides more options to
 target.
[A:12 R: 0] Solution #3: Solution 1 and 2

Solution 3, obviously. Why does Nunchaku have only four arm action afflictions
prior to Surge? Five, if you include grapples.

Support for all options, preference for Solution 3. Nunchuku is very restricted
pre-surge. This would raise their flexibility at base/twist a decent amount,
balanced somewhat by the fact that centre stance doesn't really open much else
up.

Solution 3, but solution 2 if it is determined they should only get one.
Solution 1 leaves them very vulnerable to stance middle in the absence of
solution 2.

I am of the same mindset as Tarken here; solution 3 but preferred 2 if they can
only have one or the other.

My suggestion would be to give a dust affliction to one set of limbs and a steam
to another. That will give you the option to dust stack on the gut/limbs or
steam stack on the head/chest/limbs from base. It gives some good variety and
opens up the choice for getting around stancing then
