#tstandardaction

A form of extrasensory perception characterized by the ability to make relevant associations from an object of unknown history by making physical contact with said object.

Base

Technique Type: Support Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Self Effect Type: Instant

You touch an object and witness events connected to it; you feel its history. Which vision exactly the user experiences is determined by the GM, but it usually consists of one that grants information relevant to the user and their party's objectives. Said vision tends to be somewhat cryptic, granting something like a clue, a lead, or a key piece of information, but rarely revealing the exact piece of information the user is seeking.

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:

A Technique used to quickly rust metals, primarily used for rendering traditional armaments futile, as well as for opening alternate paths.

Base

Technique Type: Specialty Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Contact Size: 5ft. per turn (area corroded) Effect Type: Active Channeling Damage: Special* Saving Throw: User's Potency VS Target's Resistance*

Rust corrodes approximately 5ft. of metal per turn channeled. Any corroded metal can be easily shattered with sufficient force, and may often even break down on its own.

This technique is the gateway to add special properties to the user's unarmed combat, starting with having all of the user's unarmed attacks be considered energy imbued.

Base

Technique Type: Combat Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Self Reach: Same as unarmed. Effect Type: Passive Channeling Duration Tier (DT): S Duration: 3 rounds

Simply, while channeled, this technique considers all of the user's unarmed attacks as Energy Imbued Attacks, but it's main purpose is perhaps to function as a gateway to add Modifications and Upgrades to a character's unarmed combat in general. All modifications added to this Technique trigger their effects only once per target struck in a single turn, regardless of the individual number of attacks performed on any individual target. Of course, any such effects being transferred still require Saving Throws to be successful. A Yokai's Special Attack is also considered to benefit from any Upgrades and  Modifications this Technique might have.

Upgrades

2 points:

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:

Halts any form of projectile in place, be it  energy-based or physical, also granting some control over it.

Base

Technique Type: Combat / Support Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Selective (used on projectiles) Range: 20ft. (for targeting purposes) Effect Type: Lingering Duration Tier (DT): S Duration: 3 rounds

This technique can be used to halt any form of projectile in place, be it energy-based or physical. What constitutes a projectile is any non-living object or singular, condensed form of energy travelling with momentum towards a specific direction.

As a Standard Action, the user of this Technique can release the projectile, allowing it to resume its trajectory with the same momentum it had, otherwise, the projectile automatically resumes by itself once this technique's duration elapses. Homing Projectiles will continue chasing their original targets when unfrozen, while manually controlled projectiles will once again be controllable.

Any number of projectiles can be frozen, each one retaining their own frozen duration. When freezing a projectile, the user of this technique can choose to freeze any given projectile for a specific duration as long as it falls within the technique's current maximum duration.

Upgrades allow the user of this technique to perform additional actions on frozen projectiles.

Upgrades

1 point:

Range Upgrade: 10ft.

Additional Projectile Per Single Standard Action: +1

2 points:

Reverse Momentum: As a Standard Action, the user may reverse the momentum of any frozen projectile.

Set-Off: If the frozen projectile has a property that would activate upon making contact with a target, such as an explosion, the user of this technique can choose trigger it while it is while it is frozen in place by using a Standard Action.

Fake-Out: Grants the user the option to, as a Free Action, momentarily halt and resume projectiles fired by them as a fake-out, the mixed timing causing Deflection and Evasion attempts to suffer from a -5. This effect can also be applied to an ally's projectiles but as a Prepared Action.

3 points:

A technique that allows the user to make contact with a distant target as if it were direct contact, allowing them to transfer melee strikes or perhaps physical assistance.

Base

Technique Type: Combat / Specialty Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Self (For Activation), Selective (for actions performed during it, not for activation)* Reach: 20ft. Effect Type: Passive Channeling Duration Tier (DT): Mn Duration: 1 minute (10 rounds)

While it is being channeled, Displaced Contact allows any form of contact to be performed remotely, be that a gentle touch, a standard or energy imbued melee attack, or any Contact (delivery) technique. This form of contact it enables is extended to anything the user wields, meaning that strikes with weapons and similar gear can also be delivered with it.

Displaced Contact treats the target as if they were doing direct contact with either the user or the gear being used, so it is capable of transferring any special effects that either would normally transfer with direct contact.

Targets for contact are chosen as a free action. The user of this technique does so by focusing on visible targets within range. As a base feature, this technique can extend such contact to a single target, a number that can be increased through upgrades.

Modification

Prerequisites: [Delivery: Contact]

As a modification, the feature allows the modified Contact Technique to be used remotely, adopting an initial Reach of 20ft.

Upgrades

1 point:

Reach Upgrade: +10

3 point:

All Projectile and Wave attacks performed within range of someone utilizing this technique, be them from Techniques or standard weapons, are instead drawn to the user while also having their effects completely nullified.

Base

Technique Type: Combat / Support Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Self Size: 15ft. radius Effect Type: Passive Channeling Duration Tier (DT): S Duration: 3 rounds

As its description states, while this technique is being channeled, all Projectiles and Waves within range of the user are drawn away from their intended target and directed at the user of Lightning Rod instead, where their effects are completely nullified, including damage. This includes projectiles and waves coming from standard weapons rather than techniques, such as bullet fired from a gun or the flame from a flamethrower.

The user may not selectively choose which Techniques are affected: all Projectiles and Waves are influenced. Although the radius of this Technique is 15ft, even if a technique is initiated outside of its influence, once it crosses into its boundary it is nonetheless attracted.

Modification

Prerequisites: [Duration Tier: S] [Delivery: Self]

As a modification, this feature's effects are activated alongside the Technique's other Self effects.
