Techniques and Attacks


Techniques work much like feats, where you must meet certain prerequisites and each one costs a feat.  Anytime your character gains a feat, they may spend it on a technique.  There are two types of techniques, basic and advanced.  The difference between the two is that a character can learn a basic technique on their own, while an advanced technique requires someone else who knows it teach the character.  Learning a technique takes a minimum of one week.  After that week, a Ki Craft check is made.  If you make the techniques Learn DC, then you now know the technique.  If you don't, then you may try to learn another, or wait until you gain another rank in Ki Craft to make another attempt.  If you trained with a teacher and missed your initial check, you need not train with your teacher to make another check, but you must still train for a week on your own.  Your character can also develop their own Techniques, contact a GM for details.

Gigantic Disclaimer - This technique list is by no means complete. New techniques will be added rapidly.

 Basic Technique Descriptions


Blink: Blink is a combat maneuver which may be used to quickly navigate the battlefield, avoid attacks, or surprise opponents.  When used for pure movement, you are able to move 4 spaces (20 ft) for each channel DC step you meet.  When using Blink to avoid attacks, you gain a 10% miss chance for every channel DC step you meet. Likewise, Blink can be used to negate another person's miss chance gained by way of this technique.  You are able to negate 10% of an opponents miss chance from Blink for every channel DC step you meet.  Lastly Blink can be used to gain an edge on your opponent.  When used in this fashion, you are able to gain a +2 bonus to your attack roll for every step you exceed your opponents Blink channel DC (zero if they are not Blinking at all).  While Blink counts as a free action, it may only be used once per round.

Ama Kakeru Ryu No Hirameki (Succession Technique): This attack is the final, most powerful move of the Hiten Mstugi Ryu style. It is an extremely fast battou jutsu (iaijutsu) strike, by hitting the attacker before the Kuzu Ryu Sen can be performed. The Ama Kakeru Ryu No Hirameki grants a +2 to the iaijutsu check per channel ki check when used. However, should a defender manage to block this tremendous strike, the true power of the maneuver is revealed: Due to the massive impact from the blow, the air is displaced between the fighters. The attacker then spins backwards, creating a vacuum between them and drawing the defender off-balance. The attacker finishes the spin with a devastating blow to the side, catching the opponent flat-footed and dealing double the bonus iaijutsu damage (based on the first attack's checks). This second phase draws 5 additional power points, and counts as a use of the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu's Imporved Battou Jutsu ability for the day (requiring a second attack roll). If the technique is not used in melee, then the second phase isn't possible.

The slash moves so fast that it forces the air around it  During the slash the energy put into the sword combines with the air swirling around the blade. it is then fired forward into a vertical wave. The wave lacks any real coloration, but it can be seen as it gives a wavy distortion of  the vision of anything looking through, due to the heat of the wave, and the power in the motion of the air.
|MT: 1 action; Damage: 1d8 per energy point; Channel DC 6; Range: 30; Type: Cone; Learn DC 40; Prerequisites: Strength 15+, Ki 19+, Weapon Focus, Unrefined Ki Blast, Jiyusoken|

Kuzu Ryu Sen (9-Point Attack):
The flashiest and most devastating attack of Hiten Mstugi Ryu style, the Kzu Ryu Sen levels all but the most resiliant foes. It is taught as a transition to the succession technique of the style. In all budo weapon training, there are nine points of importance: the head, left shoulder, right shoulder, left arm, right arm, chest, left hip, right hip, and crotch. Even in defense these points are taught, and every attack will in some way target one of the areas. However, the Kuzu Ryu Sen strikes all nine points simultaneously, leaving no way to defend. This attack is usually made as part of a charge action which leaves the attacker behind the target, and can be an iaijutsu strike (in which case drawing the weapon in the same round is not required). It costs 10 power points to use (plus one per channel step) and denys the target his Dexterity and dodge-type bonuses to AC. If it connects, it does weapon damage nine times to the target. Bonus damage from iaijutsu, Precise Strike, Empowered Strike, Strength (and other sources) are only added once. Using this attack is a full-round action. For every channel DC step made, it gains +1 to damage reduction penetration.

|MT: 1 round; Channel DC: 10; Range: Personal; Type: Power Up; Learn DC: 40; Prerequisites: Constitution 19+, Ki 21+, Empowerment, Mystic Attack|


Mafuba:
An attack where the user shoots a swirling blast of energy at an opponent, which allows the user to trap his enemy by forcing him into an imprisonment container.  This technique was invented by Mutaito-Sama as a way to capture the “demon” Piccolo.  The problem with this technique is that it sacrifices the user's life.  First, you hold one hand in the air, palm up, and stick two fingers out.  Basically, you concentrate on the user and pick them up, forcing their spirit (and material body) into a Denshi Jar.  The jar holds the trapped entity indefinitely or until the jar is broken and the life force is released, allowing the body to reform.  The aim has to be perfect in order to get the user inside the jar, and it takes a lot of practice.  When this technique is used, the fighter must succeed at a ranged touch attack to “hit” their opponent.  The defender then gets a Will save to negate the effect (DC equal to 10 plus the number of power points channeled).  If the defender failed their save, then the attacker makes another touch attack for the jar.  If both attack rolls succeeded, the defender is now trapped inside the Denshi Jar.  Whether the effect is successful or not, the attack looses a number of Hit Points equal to the number of power points channeled.
|MT: 1 round; Channel DC: 6; Range: 6; Type: Effect; Learn DC: 50; Prerequisites: Ki 25+|



Makenkosappo (Special Beam Cannon):
This technique is amazingly powerful, but in order for it to be effective, it has to be charged for a while. To charge for this attack, the user places two fingers on the forehead, and the Ki is charged into the fingers. Then, when the blast is fired, there are 2 beams, one going out straight and the other spiraling around the straight one.  The Makenkosappo receives a +2 inherent bonus to DR penetration.

Moon Blast:
A technique where the user creates a ball of light in the sky that emits moonlight and brute rays similar to those produced by a full moon.  This allows Saiya-jins and other lycanthropes to transform whenever they please.  Those who are within view of the ball of light may make a Will save to resist changing shape.  The DC for the save is equal to 15 + the amount of power points channeled.  Duration of the ball of light is equal to 5 rounds plus one round per energy point channeled.  Once the duration expires, those within the effected area revert to back to their normal form.

The Renzokou Kikou Ha is an attack where the user fires a continuous stream of Ki blasts.  The blasts aren't very powerful, because the user must fire them off fast and can't take time to put a lot of Ki into them.  Because of this, unlike most missile attacks, Renzokou Kikou Ha cannot be charged.  The number of missiles fired by this technique is equal to the warriors Dexterity modifier, and each missile costs one power point.
|MT: full round action; Damage: 1d4 per missile; Channel DC: N/A; Range: 20; Type: Missile; Learn DC: 30; Prerequisites: Ki 17+, Unrefined Ki Blast, Kikou Ha|

Split Form:
With this technique, you can divide yourself into two beings, creating a duplicate up to 5 feet away.  Your duplicate thinks and acts exactly as you do and follows your orders, although it will not do anything you wouldn’t do yourself.  Your duplicate has all your abilities but none or your equipment (except for duplicate clothing).  Your duplicate has half your hit points, half your energy points (figured after deducting the cost of this power), and other physical traits you had at the time you manifested the power.  In addition, your DR defense is halved as well.  Powers, spells, or other effects affecting you do not affect the duplicate.  When the duration expires or when you dismiss the power, you and your duplicate rejoin, no matter how far apart from each other you are.  You take the full amount of damage your duplicate has suffered at the time of rejoining.  This could potentially put you at 0 hit points or fewer, but it cannot kill you.  Also you lose the full amount of the power points your duplicate used up. If you die before the duration expires, then the duplicate immediately disappears. The effect lasts one round per power point.

An advanced technique wherein the user gains a large amount of temporary Strength and Damage Reduction with a decrease in Speed and Dexterity.  While in this form you gain damage reduction 20/+2 which stacks with any other DR you may have, and gain a +6 power up bonus to Strength, a –6 power up penalty to Dexterity, your speed is reduced by half, and your unarmed damage increases by +1d4.  The user also gains about 1 foot in height, their skin changes to resemble stone, their weight increases by a factor of 10, and for all intents and purposes counts as a construct, granting certain immunities.  The effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to the number of power points channeled.

Tobi Izuna (Ranged Cut):
A ranged Empowered Strike of sorts, this attack throws beams of cutting energy through the air. The attacker channels his energy through their weapon, "throwing" its sharpness at the target. It can be fired up to as many times per round as the user has attacks per round, but each shot uses one or more power points. This attack cannot be charged. Empowered Strike may be added to the damage as normal.
|MT: free action; Damage: as weapon per shot; Channel DC: 5; Range: 3+1 per point channeled; Type: Ranged Touch; Learn DC: 25; Prerequisites: Str 15+, Ki 17+, Unrefined Ki Blast, Empowered Strike, Weapon Focus|



Tri-Form: With this technique, you can divide yourself into three beings, creating two duplicates up to 5 feet away. Your duplicates think and act exactly as you do and follow your orders, although they will not do anything you wouldn’t do yourself. Your duplicates have all your abilities but none or your equipment (except for duplicate clothing). Your duplicates have a third of your hit points, a third of your energy points (figured after deducting the cost of this power), and other physical traits you had at the time you manifested the power. Powers, spells, or other effects affecting you do not affect the duplicates. When the duration expires or when you dismiss the power, you and your duplicates rejoin, no matter how far apart from each other you are. You take half the damage your duplicates have suffered at the time of rejoining. This could potentially put you at 0 hit points or fewer, but it cant bring you to –10 hit points or less. Also you loose half or the power points your duplicates used up. If one of you dies before the duration expires, you gain one negative level and the effect ends. The effect lasts one round per power point.

Tsuibi Kienzan (Controlled Destructo Disk):
The Tsuibi Kienzan is very similar to the Kienzan in appearance and function.  The only difference in appearance is the color, where as a normal Kienzan is yellow, a Tsuibi Kienzan is red.  However, what really sets it apart is the fact that the attacker can control it after it has been thrown.  Due to this fact you gain double your Dexterity modifier as a bonus to hit.  The Tsuibi Kienzan will stay in effect and can be controlled for a number of rounds equal to the characters Ki modifier, or until the attacker stops concentrating on directing them.

Void Strike:
By concentrating Ki into your fist or foot, you are able to make an attack that penetrates another warrior's defenses.  By spending 1 energy point you can resolve an unarmed attack as a touch attack, thus negating quite a few armor bonuses of your opponent as well as granting a +1 for purposes of DR penetration.  For each additional power point channeled, you gain an additional +1 DR penetration bonus.  The damage of the attack is dependant on your unarmed melee damage.  Using the technique counts as a free action, however it uses up a melee attack.
|MT: free action; Damage: variable; Channel DC: 5; Range: Touch; Type: Touch Attack; Learn DC: 30; Prerequisite: Ki 15+, Strength 13+, Base Attack +5 or higher, Empowered Strike|

Whirlwind:
By spining your spirit energy just right through the air you are not only able to create a whirlwind, but also infuse it with your energy. Pulling creatures off the ground and holding them in place while your spirit energy. Targets of the whirlwind must make a reflex save DC: 13 + power points channeled or be pulled up off the ground and held in place untill they pull free. If you fail you may try and break free agian on your turn with an opposed ki check.

Yubisaki Kara (Finger Blast):
This attack is extremely fast and powerful.  The user points his finger at his opponent and a small beam of powerful red energy shoots from it.  This attack is very similar to Dodompa, however it can be charged before releasing allowing for more rays.  Each channel step DC made grants another blast.  This particular attack can pierce right through the target, and as such receives a +2 inherent bonus to DR penetration.
|MT: 1 round; Damage: 1d8 per ray; Channel DC: 8; Range: 30; Type: Ray; Learn DC: 35; Prerequisites: Ki 21+, Unrefined Ki Blast|


Zanzoken:
The Zanzoken technique is the art of leaving behind after-images.  This skill must be used in conjunction with Blink.  The way it works is you move so fast that it leaves an after-image of you in one place while you attack from another.  The speed however is not what causes the images to stay; your Ki produces this effect.  It takes a lot of practice to learn this technique, but it becomes very useful in battle.  A skilled Martial Artist can use several Zanzoken at once.  One after image can be left for every 4 spaces (20 ft) you move using the Blink technique.  While Zanzoken counts as a free action, it may only be used once per round.  When used, the opponent may make a Spot check against your Bluff check.  If the enemy beats you, he sees the after image for what it truly is.

 Custom Technique Descriptions

This is a list of techniques that have been created by the characters through out the events of the game. Any character may learn these techniques although they must have either viewed the technique being used or been taught it by the creator. For anyone other than the creator, the technique's DC is +10 more than what is listed below.


Empty Fist: By concentrating ones energy just right they are able to fuse the kinetic energy with there spirit energy, allowing them to turn a melee attack into a ranged one.

Kakuzen Ichijin (Razor Wind): This unique technique requires the user to set himself in a very specific and very very precise stance. Once in the stance, the user blasts forward at intense speeds, moving in a straight line a number of spaces as per the Blink technique. This counts as using Blink for that round. Behind the user, the speeds create a suction void, very similiar to the effects of a sonic boom. However, the user channels his ki to refine, focus and sharpen the void into a thin plane that follows him. Any opponent the user moves through is attacked by this, and due to its almost 2-dimensional sharpness it gains a +2 Damage Penetration. While Ki is used to make this attack, it is essentially physically based, and defenders use their physical damage reduction versus it.

Shadow Void: This technique is the polar opposite of the Taiyoken technique. When activated it creates a sphere of darkness around the user, blinding everyone except him. The size of this sphere is equal to 10 ft radius. Duration is equal to the number of powerpoints channeled. The use of Taiyoken cancels this technique, and vice versa as well. By readying an action, warriors can attempt to counter the others technique with the opposing technique, much like sorcerors can counter other sorcerors spells.

 Meta-Ki Feat Descriptions

Controlled Ki:
Characters with this feat are able to control to a greater degree where their attacks land.  Using this feat grants the character double their Dexterity modifier as a bonus to the attack roll.  If the attack misses, the character may spend 2 power points per round to keep the attack in effect until they are able to strike their opponent with it.  A character may attempt an attack roll with the controlled attack once for every attack the character can make.  The effect dissipates when either the character looses concentration or hits their opponent with the attack.  When using this technique, the base channel DC step increases by 1 for missile attacks and by 2 for beam attacks.  This feat may only be used in conjunction with missile attacks or beams.
|Prerequisites: Ki 21+, Any missile attack or beam technique|


Cooperative Ki:
Characters with this feat are able to pull together and simultaneously attack with a single technique.  This allows both characters to channel Ki into the attack, thus yielding a stronger and more powerful outcome.  One person is designated as the leader and makes the channel check for the technique while the other uses the aid another action and to bolster the leaders roll.  Then both power point cost is split evenly between the two.  Both characters must posses the Cooperative Ki feat in order for this to work, however only the leader need know the attack.  This feat may not be used in conjunction
with power ups, maneuvers, touch attacks, rays, or effects.
|Prerequisites: Ki 21+, Any missile attack, beam, cone, or AOE technique|
