===Poison Dragon River===

1. '''Poison Waters''' <br>
''Misfortune finds no purchase, like swords striking empty water.''
*For every 6 Ripples you have (rounded up), you may ignore 5 total points of penalties not from Chi Conditions, to a maximum of 10 points at 7+ Ripples. 
*You may prevent the next Ripple you inflict on yourself.  

2. '''Death Awaits Downstream''' <br>
''Analysis. Intent. Action. The serpent completes all in a single fluid motion.'' 
*When floating a set into your River from your initiative, you may use that same set to evaluate a character’s external style. 
*If it is the first round of combat, all styles you have successfully evaluated Fear yours. 

3. '''World-Spanning Wyrm Coils''' <br>
''Where the River is, there is the Dragon: poison inescapable, seeping for a thousand li!'' 
*Your target has -10 Toughness
*Your attack ignores the first 5 points of armor 

3. '''Dragon's Liver Chirugery''' <br>
''Through prodigious medical ability, your internal organs shift positions. Wounds seal themselves, cartilage reinforces organs, blows find your heart but strike naught but bone!'' 
*Whenever you activate this technique you gain a Ripple.
*You have +10 to Chi Aura and Chi Threshold. This does not stack with Armor. 
*If you activate this technique in a scene, you receive its benefits during the post-combat rippling roll. 

4. '''Force of the Dragon''' <br>
''From the heart flows all power. What might be said of a dragon’s heart? Only power unknowable.''
*For every 3 Ripples you have (rounded up), your attack inflicts an additional Ripple, strikes an additional target, or reaches one Zone further out. 
*You may not benefit from a particular effect more than 3 times (so max 3 additional Ripples, targets, or Zones) 

5. '''Erasing Heaven''' <br>
''If a dragon dies, is it reincarnated? On the day Poison Dragon River awakens from its slumber, it will ascend to the heavens in the form of a great thunderhead streaked with darkness. Sun and sky will be erased by its expanse. Reaching enlightenment, it will become a Black Storm Buddha, and all the world will drown under its fury.''
*Round-long duration.
*Whenever you activate this technique you gain a Ripple.
*You have a +20 bonus to your Speed, Footwork, Strike, Block, Damage, or Chi Aura.
*For every 3 Ripples (rounded up) you have, you may boost this technique, adding the bonus to another statistic for every two Chi you spend. You may boost during activation and whenever you suffer Ripples.
