Notes
- Open Hand Technique: Staggered prevents the target from spending Reactions, not from taking reactions entirely. This is important since many of the legendary actions given to bosses in Honour mode are reactions which do not cost a Reaction resource.
- This ability is similar to the Mobile: Evade Opportunity Attack feat since it disables a target's Opportunity Attack without a Saving throw.
- This attack is equivalent to two Unarmed Strikes and is affected by everything that applies to normal unarmed attacks such as Martial Arts: Deft Strikes, Martial Arts: Dextrous Attacks, and Manifestation of Body.
- This attack does not trigger Extra Attack since it does not use an Action.
- Additional sources of Bonus Action such as Wholeness of Body or Fast Hands may be used to execute this attack multiple times per turn.
