| I love the idea, a martial art based on having in depth knowledge of biology. I like the tie-in to Xenoforms but I think it could use a bit more diversity in what it does before I favor it. Still a very cool adaptation. |

This discipline is freely available to them? --Foxwarrior (talk) 02:15, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
- ...Technically, yes, but a lot of its maneuvers won't work quite right when used by a non-living creature (read: undead and constructs). That's a kink that I haven't worked out yet. I am considering disallowing constructs and undead from learning maneuvers from this discipline, as it doesn't really make sense for it to be available to them, but I'm not sure whether or not that's wise from a game-balance standpoint. I'll need more time to think about it. Perhaps when I develop this discipline further, I'll try to address the problem. --Luigifan18 (talk) 02:47, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
- Poor robot ghosts. They never get any love :-( - Tarkisflux Talk 03:39, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
- You could do what I did with Golem Heart and have robot ghosts carry around a beating heart for the self-augmenting maneuvers. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 06:50, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
- Also, there's no reason why this discipline wouldn't be available to cyborgs. --Luigifan18 (talk) 23:05, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
- Too many good maneuvers to choose from. Like, even more so than Infinite Lotus, and hell if that isn't a statement. Although, I think a few too many are just poison or acid based, and let me tell you, there's way more to using biology against someone than chemistry. The various Fortify maneuvers, Organ Smasher, and Paralyze Limbs are all great examples of what I think this discipline can be. Perhaps some other maneuvers could include making a Heal check to punch through immunity, or a pressure point attack that inflicts paralysis, or something like my little addition: Sever. So, excellent concept, but I feel it has untapped potential. -SecondDeath777 23:57, 4 September 2017
