How much refresh do these guys have? They've got Superb skills (which suggests 8+ refresh) but only 25 skill points apiece (which suggests 7 refresh).

I'd say Jack and Wang are 7s but Egg Shen is "Submerged" if anyone is.  Probably has been since before the KMT took over China, at least.

Jack only uses "Juggler" and "Riposte" when he's under the influence of "9 Dragon Potion" (at least I think that's what it was called).  It's not at all clear he could do them when not under the influence of what is effectively a powerful combat drug.  Even so it's clear that Lo Pan didn't expect him to be able to do anything like that.  So maybe he's actually pretty at grabbing things out of the air and throwing them back compared to normal people, just not good enough to do it reliably when not on drugs.  .

I voted nay.

It's very clear to me, that those "stunts" that are effecting powers, should be add-ons or power options, but no "mortal stunt".

While a mere mortal could use every mortal stunt in YS, he couldn't use a stunt, that would effect the speed of his shapeshifting f.e. because it would affect a power he had to have, which would revoke his status as a mere mortal. Thus it couldn't be a "mortal" stunt anymore.


  You don't have to be a mortal to use a mortal stunt.  They're called "mortal stunts" because anyone, including mortals, can use them.  Why would you need a separate stunt affecting powers (e.g. Claws) when the character has already bought a stunt that affects his use of the skill they're based on (e.g. Killer Blow affects the use of Fists)?

Yes.  Stunts are things that mortals can learn to do, not that can only help with things mortals can learn to do.  For instance you can use "Step into the blow" to use your Claws if you fail to defend.  Why wouldn't you?  Just because you're using a razor-sharp body part as opposed to a blunt fist doesn't mean you don't know how to use it.  You can also use "Killer Blow" with Claws, and I recommend it.
