	'''[[Bearhug]]''':		'''[[Bearhug]]''':

	Shockingly good supplement to unarmed combat. UAF attacks can overcome most defenses, but ~~among~~ creatures that ''are'' so good at turtling that UC struggles to punch through~~, most~~ are casters who ~~easily~~ get hit by combat maneuvers. Bearhug is also a rare case of a maneuver with killing power in its own right. I don't necessarily recommend ~~using~~ learning it until you can train at least three ranks ~~since~~ ~~its~~ ~~damage really depends on the endroll~~. It's also a bit worse for small races, but, since it's an SMR-based attack, even they can dish out tons of damage with the high endrolls achievable by inflicting status effects first.		Shockingly good supplement to unarmed combat. UAF attacks can overcome most defenses, but most of the creatures that ''are'' so good at turtling that UC struggles to punch through are casters who get hit easily and hard by combat maneuvers. Bearhug is also a rare case of a maneuver with killing power in its own right. Its damage really depends on the endroll, so I don't necessarily recommend learning it until you can train at least three ranks for decent proficiency. It's also a bit worse for small races, but, since it's an SMR-based attack, even they can dish out tons of damage with the high endrolls achievable by inflicting status effects first.

	Speaking of status effects, Bearhug has great synergy with [[Vulnerable]], which speeds up its damage rounds (not its cooldown). Twin Hammerfists inflicts Vulnerable and so does the Grapple Specialization knockdown perk from Fury, so either of those make for a nice one-two if you're already using them!

	Bull Rush is another way to inflict Vulnerable and can knock down a whole room of creatures. It does pretty minimal damage, but is a staple monk combat maneuver, filling a ~~need~~ of controlling the enemy hordes so you can systematically pick them off.

	'''Multi-Opponent Combat''' stopping at 190 or 200 (or 202 for completionism) comes down to whether you use mstrikes or techniques, respectively. Techniques are much better with weapons than they are with unarmed combat, so Tarine went to 200 because she has weapons trained and Saria won't because she doesn't.		'''Multi-Opponent Combat''' stopping at 190 or 200 (or 202 for completionism) comes down to whether you use mstrikes or techniques, respectively. Techniques are much better with weapons than they are with unarmed combat, so Tarine went to 200 because she has weapons trained and Saria won't because she doesn't.

	Finally, regarding that '''Transcend Destiny''' line for clarity's sake... given enough time, Saria will eventually get to 10 Transcend Destiny. What I'm saying is that she's working toward 4 Transcend Destiny now as a reasonable breakpoint, but after that's done, she'll go back and finish ~~the~~ ~~other~~ ~~things like~~ Two Weapon Combat, ~~Multi-Opponent Combat, Transformation lore~~, Climbing, Swimming, and a few mana control ranks that she doesn't have now. ''That's'' the point where she'll be done with normal skills forever and commence the 10 Transcend Destiny push.
