 '''Interposing Aura''' is an [[Knowledge Points|amateur]]-status [[Sage Ability|sage ability]] in the [[Sage|study]] of the [[Way of the Dragon (sage study)|Way of the Dragon]] that allows its practitioners to erect a mystical barrier between them and their foes, negating any offensive actions across two sides of a combat hex.  While the barrier remains unseen, it has the power to befuddle adversaries. They find themselves irresistibly drawn to maneuver around the aura before launching an attack, believing it to be a logical course of action.

 The image gives an example of the interposition, with the aura barrier shielding the character.  Hex sides are not required to be contiguous, allowing for strategic versatility.  The defense remains in place as long as the combatant holds his or her position.  [[Missile Weapons|Missile weapon]] attacks and magic use is not prevented.  If the character is stunned and knocked out of the hex, this is sufficient to break the aura's power.

	Through training and practiced meditation, the character is able to produce an unusual mystical emanation, in the [[Language\|language]] of monks called "the dragon." This is more familiar to some as "wild magic." The aura thus created is both magical and invisible; the effect is to cloud the minds of enemy combatants so that they cannot [[Attacking in Combat\|attack]] — or have not the will to attack — from specific quarters as chosen by the character. These enemies act towards the aura as though moving around it to attack is a perfectly natural and ordinary thing to do.

 In game terms, this translates as closing off two sides of a combat hex, as shown in the image; the two sides chosen need not be adjacent.  To evoke the aura, the character must spend one full round in meditation; this meditation has similarities to [[Spellcasting|spellcasting]], except that to break the character's concentration requires [[Damage (hit points)|damage]], and that a successful meditation can be attempted as often as desired.  The character can take no other action during this meditation.
-Once evoked, the aura will remain, so long as the character does not leave the hex; a [[Stun Lock|stun lock]] that knocks the character out of the hex would be sufficient.  Once in place, neither enemies nor allies will feel able to attack in [[Melee|melee]] through the aura — that is, hand-to-hand.  Missile weapons attacks and magic use is not prevented.  Though it is possible for the character to attack through this barrier, doing so will dispel the aura until it can be evoked again.

 The aura does not conceal the character's presence or restrain enemies from moving to a place where they feel able to attack.  The aura merely conveys a strong conviction that the character is impregnable upon any point where the aura is in place.
