I have (for some time) been thinking Do rules are a little to easy, and the other ones I saw where well a little to hard and would knock Houshi back to Do 3  (which I think he's already got and used several things from Do4)

Basicaly book rules are (all not including Dharamaukti):

You have to have  (Do Level)x2 skills spread out over (Do Level) limbs

Advance rules are  (Do level)x2 skills in (do level) limbs EACH

Huoshui
Dhyana:  9
Prajna:  2
Karma:  1
Sunyakaya:   1
Dharmamukti: don't count but a 10
Shastamarga:   3
Tricanmarga:  3
Jivahasta:    4

Raven
Dhyana: 3
Prejna: none
Karma:  none
Sunyakaya:  2
Dharmamukti: Don't count but a 5
Shatamarga:   3
Tricanmarga:  2
Jivahasta: 1

ok so it would only knock huoshui back to a 3 if he spent some exp in Shastamarga, v, or Jivahasta...  >.>

Point being Advance one is HARD, lol

But the first way Raven qualifies for 5th dot >.> so I think you see why I think the first way is to easy...... other way he almost qualifies for 2nd.

Another Idea I have is requiring (do level)x2 in one limb, and then (do level)x2 spread out over (do level) limbs that are left over....  *shrugs*

note advance would mean:

1 dot needs
limb 1 - 2 dots
total - 2 dots needed

2 dot needs
limb 1 - 4 dots
limb 2 - 4 dots
total - 8 dots needed

3 dots needs
limb 1 - 6 dots
limb 2 - 6 dots
limb 3 - 6 dots
total - 18 dots needed

4 dot needs
limb 1 - 8 dots
limb 2 - 8 dots
limb 3 - 8 dots
limb 4 - 8 dots
total - 32 dots needed

5dot needs
limb 1 - 10 dots
limb 2 - 10 dots
limb 3 - 10 dots
limb 4 - 10 dots
limb 5 - 10 dots
total - 50 dots needed

While my idea needs:

1 dot
1 limb - 2 dots
any # of limbs - 2 dots
total - 4 dots needed

2 dot
1 limb - 4 dots
at least 2 limbs - 4 dots
total - 8 dots needed

3 dot
1 limb - 6 dots
at least 3 limbs - 6 dots
total - 12 dots needed

4 dot
1 limb - 8 dots
at least 4 limbs - 8 dots
total - 16 dots needed

5 dot
1 limb - 10 dots
at least 5 limbs - 10 dots
total - 20 dots needed
