#tselective

The user consumes some of their Energy to rid their target of its own.

Base

Technique Type: Support Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Selective Range: 20ft. Effect Type: Instant Saving Throw: User's [Potency] VS Target's [Willpower]

The user of this Technique may choose to apply up to 3 of their own Energy to perform it, ridding their targets of an equal amount of Energy charges.

The targeted subject, however, may roll a Willpower Saving Throw pinned against the user's Potency to resist the effects. If resisted, this Technique feature only consumes 1 Energy from the user.

Modification

As a modification, the feature makes use of the Technique's existing form of Delivery to bestow its effects.

Upgrades

1 point:

Prevents the a target from using a specific action or Technique.

Base

Technique Type: Support Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Selective Range: 20ft. Effect Type: Lingering Duration Tier (DT): S Duration: 3 rounds Saving Throw: User's [Potency] vs target's [Resistance]

The user of this technique can prevent a target from using a specific type of action by successfully triumphing against their Saving Throw.

The actions the user may Seal are the following:

Unarmed fighting.

Attacking with a specific weapon.

Use of any of the following Skills: Guard, Deflection, Evasion, Cunning, Deduce

A specific technique. (The user must already have knowledge behind its nature, or have already witnessed one instance of it. Channeled techniques are interrupted upon being sealed, but lingering effects remain.)

The use of a special feature (such as one of the Yokai's physical traits, or the Spirit Guide's ethereal shift).

A Territory Master's Territory.

More than one action can be sealed, but it must be done so individually.

Upgrades

1 point:

Range Upgrade:+10ft.

2 points:

An affliction that changes the form of its target into that of a harmless animal, usually to a disadvantage.

Base

Technique Type: Specialty Performance: Full Round Action Delivery: Selective Range: 50ft. Effect type: Lingering Duration Tier: S Duration: 3 rounds Saving Throw: User's Potency vs Target's Willpower.

When first acquiring this as a Technique or Modification, the player must select which harmless animal it will turn the target into. When being performed, the Saving Throw is only triggered if the target attempts to resist its effects.

Aside from whatever physical limitations come with being transformed into the chosen animal, a character's Attacks, Guard, Deflection, and Resistance are temporarily reduced by 10.

Polymorphic hex does not change the size of its target. A large individual turned into a frog would still be roughly the same size, just now in the shape of a frog.

Those affected by this technique cannot help but burst into laughter.

Base

Technique Type: Specialty, Support Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Selective Range: 20ft. Effect Type: Lingering Duration Tier (DT): S Duration: (3 rounds) Saving Throw: User's Potency VS Target's Will.

The user of this Technique first rolls for Potency and writes the number down, setting up the DC to beat by the Target's Resistance in order combat the effects. The Target's first Resistance roll determines if the Technique is successfully or not. If the Technique is not resisted, on every turn thereafter during which the Technique's lingering effects are still active, the target rolls for Resistance at the start of their turn to see if they resist the individual effects from taking place. A success on those latter rolls does not cure the target from Laughter, it simply prevents the effects from taking place during that round.

The effects of Laughter are as follows:

1. On every turn that the effects are not resisted (which includes the turn it is induced), the subject cannot help but begin to laugh uncontrollably. Although they can still perform most of their usual actions, they do so with a penalty of -5.

2. On two consecutive turns under the effects, the subject is too busy laughing to be able to take any actions until their next turn other than Movement and Defensive Options.

3. On a third (and further) consecutive turn(s), the target can't help but drop any held items, become Downed (see Conditions), and consume the entirety of their turn doing nothing but laughing.

Modification

Requirement: [Delivery: Contact, Projectile, Wave, Field, Selective] As a modification, the feature employs its effects alongside the Technique's other features should its Saving Throw not be resisted. It adopts the technique's existing range and method of delivery, but functions under its own duration.

Upgrades

1 point:

Range Upgrade: +10ft.

2 points:

A Technique that allows its user to share their current visual perspective with allies or any subject of their choosing.

Base

Technique Type: Support Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Selective Range: 20ft. (Selective) Effect Type: Passive Channeling Duration Tier (DT): Mn Duration: 1 Minute Saving Throw: User's Will VS Target's Will (if subject resists)

For the duration that this Technique is being channeled, the user's chosen target is able to see things from the user's perspective. Share Perspective shows things exactly as the user is viewing them, meaning that spectators will also see the illusions, hallucinations, or any other miscellaneous things that might otherwise be exclusive to the user, including the effects of Techniques such as True Sight.

The user's point of view does not obstruct the subject's own viewpoint. That being said, the subject's attention must be divided among the two.

Modification

A Technique whose effects vary according to whether the target speaks the truth or not.

Base

Technique Type: Specialty / Support Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Selective Range: 20ft. (Selective) Effect Type: Active Channeling Duration Tier (DT): Mn Duration: 1 Minute

When acquiring this Technique, the first thing the player designs is how the effects bestow themselves. As an unmodified Technique, these effects can be any harmless auditory, visual or any other similar manifestations— for example, a red light at the tip of the user's finger for a lie, and a green one for the truth. These effects cannot extend too far from the user or subject, cannot serve another purpose other than distinguishing between truths and falsehoods, and as already mentioned, must be harmless in nature. That being said, this Technique can be improved to bestow such types of effects for either a truth or a lie through the use of Modifications.

When adding Modifications to Lie Detection, some of the usual requirements of Modifications are ignored, utilizing the following rules instead:

The Modifications are explicitly added as the manifestations of either a truth or a lie.

Only Technique Features with a Delivery of Selective can be added as a Modification to this Technique.

The effects hailing from the Modification affect only the target subject.

The effects from the Modification must be exclusively detrimental (left up to the GM's discretion).

The Modifications do not adopt Lie Detection's Effect Type or Duration; they maintain their own, commencing the moment the triggering lie or truth is stated.

Passive or Active Channeling Techniques Features cannot be added as Modifications to this Technique.

These specific set of rules prevent the abuse of this Technique as a method of generating limitless advantages by purposefully triggering its effects. I.e., so that the Technique is not customized to provide beneficial effects when used on allies.

Upgrades

2 points:

A Technique that binds two targets in a way that prevents them from moving away from each other past a certain distance.

Base

Technique Type: Specialty Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Selective Range: 20ft. (to cast) Size: 15ft. (maximum distance targets may be away from each other) Effect Type: Lingering Duration Tier (DT): Mn Duration: 10 rounds Saving Throw: User's Potency VS Target's Willpower

This Technique binds two chosen targets to each other, preventing them from being more than a certain distance away from each other. This distance is chosen by the Technique's user, but can be no less than 15ft. unless upgraded. The bound targets must be either living or animated subjects, although objects can be targeted after acquiring the corresponding Upgrade.

Techniques such as Teleport and Swap fail if the bound subjects would be moved out of range of each other, but otherwise continue to function.

A falling subject may be suspended in place, mid-air, if continuing to fall would place them out of range.

Upgrades

1 point:

Range Upgrade: +10ft.

Size Upgrade: -5ft.

2 points:

Bind to Object: The Technique can now be used on non-living or animated subjects.

Simply, the user of this Technique can read the thoughts of those affected.

Base

Technique Type: Specialty, Support Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Selective Range: 20ft. Effect Type: Passive Channeling Duration Tier (DT): Mn Duration: 1 minute (10 rounds)

As a Selective technique, the user picks a target whose thoughts they want to spy on. For as long as it is kept channeled, they can hear the thoughts that cross their target's mind as well as get a sense for the individual's current intentions.

Anyone who has somehow become aware of the Technique's effects can attempt to hide their thoughts through meditation; while silencing their own thoughts proves to be simple, hiding one's intentions requires a successful Willpower roll with a DC of 24 for each distinct train of thought or intended action.

While Mind Reading is active on a subject, Defensive Actions or Prepared Actions pinned against any avoidable actions incoming from said subject benefit from a +5 bonus, negated if the subject is successful on their Willpower roll to conceal their thoughts, if they get such a roll in the first place.

Modification

Requirement: [Duration Tier: Mn or less]

The modified Technique allows the user to read the target's thoughts for the existing duration, if it has any, otherwise it adopts its own from the Base stats.
