Sweeping to All Sides (3)

• Opponents who would normally gain a bonus for going before you in initiative are denied those bonuses.

Heaven’s Lightning (Internal, Earth-style)

1: Yin and Yang Rotation

Using fortified chi as a grounded center, you cycle your inner power through stages of growth and recline. Do this quickly and you discharge sparks of power into all you touch.

• You can use the Shock effect as a Minor Action on your attack with a +5 bonus.

2: Yellow Emperor’s Hand

Lightning can sear and destroy, but it’s not limited to destruction, like fire. You can carefully target the muscles of your enemies, to drop them before you as if they were kowtowing or drive them away from your presence!

• You have a +10 bonus to Disorient or Knockback your target.

3: Holding Yin and Yang

Opposites are not necessarily opposed; they complement and create each other. Most Heaven’s Lightning techniques require you to separate your energies, but this technique brings them explosively together.

• You have a +5 bonus to your Strike.

• You have a +5 bonus to your Damage.

• You have a +5 bonus to any Shock effect you create.

• You can boost this technique for an extra +5 Strike or Damage. You are limited to boosting by 5 total points per Rank achieved. (So if you are Fourth Rank you can at most increase Strike by 10, Damage by 10, or both by 5.) You can't boost the bonus to Shock effects.

Iron Body Skill (Metal style)

1: Iron Power

By strengthening the tendons and joints with inner power, you can strike with much more force than is safe for normal people.

• You have a +5 bonus to Damage.

2: Mountain Endures Storm

You strengthen your skin to a stone-like hardness and subtly bend with impact to dissipate the power of an attack.

• You have a +10 bonus to Toughness.

3: Swaying Branches Surround Willow

You infuse your limbs with potent inner strength to brush aside attacks that would ordinarily snap or sever them.

• You have a +15 bonus to Block.

Black Tigers Hunting

This technique has the lethal force of an entire family of wild tigers. It's pretty amazing to watch from a safe distance!

• +20 to Strike, +10 to Disrupt/Disorient Marvels

Secret Arts and Extraordinary Techniques

Controlling Outer Force

• You may flood a die from your river to cause Disrupt Marvels to grant a -10 penalty on a critical success for the Marvel check.
