''"The Tao Master is not some cloistered hermit who shies away from human contact. The Tao Master celebrates his sexuality, and understands that sex is the exchange of nourishing Yang and nurturing Yin. You may mock, but to the master of Tao, sex is just one more path to the mastery of Chi."''

==Postures==
 
 
This Lore Sheet introduces a new concept - '''Postures.'''
 
 
If a power is marked as a '''Posture''', it follows the rules below:
 
 
* At the start of your turn, you can select a ''posture'' you know. Paying the Chi cost puts you in that ''posture''. This does not take an action.
 
* You don't have to keep paying for a ''posture'', once you're in that ''posture'', you stay in it in subsequent turns. However, each ''posture'' has a ''"maintain"'' condition. You must meet this condition at all times while in te ''posture'' - if you fail to do so the ''posture'' ends.
 
* You can only be in one ''posture'' at a time. If you adopt a new ''posture'', then the previous one automatically ends.

Xia: Main Page -> Xia: Heart Secrets -> Xia: Thousand Kisses Technique

"The Tao Master is not some cloistered hermit who shies away from human contact. The Tao Master celebrates his sexuality, and understands that sex is the exchange of nourishing Yang and nurturing Yin. You may mock, but to the master of Tao, sex is just one more path to the mastery of Chi."

Overview[edit]

This page is a Lore Sheet for the Thousand Kisses Technique, a set of nine Heart Secrets that unlock chi secrets through sexual intercourse.

Note that for you to gain any benefit from this Lore Sheet, you should buy Seductive Mien Posture as your first secret.

These techniques can only be used for social conflict, for social attacks and social defences.

Sexual Prerequisites[edit]

This Lore Sheet introduces a new concept - Sexual Prerequisites.

Before you acquire a kung fu secret with a Sexual Prerequisite you must first have sexual intercourse with a target individual of the noted characteristics. For the purposes of this Lore Sheet, sexual intercourse means consensual and intimate physical activity that includes at least one orgasm for each participant.

Any one sexual encounter can only count as a sexual prerequisite for ONE secret technique from this Lore Sheet. However, you can use multiple encounters with the same partner to qualify for different techniques.

Lore Sheet Limitation[edit]

All the powers on this sheet have the same limitations.

First, you only gain the effects listed against human enemies, or non-humans whose sexual preferences include human forms.

Secondly, you must have at least one heterosexual encounter for this power to affect people of the opposite gender.

Third, you must have at least one homosexual encounter for this power to affect people of the same gender.

Fourth, you must have at least one sexual encounter with a genderless person for this power to affect genderless people.

However, it's worth specifically noting that the effects are not limited to conflicts geared towards seduction - they can apply to social conflicts of any sort, so long as they are approached in a seductive manner.

Seductive Mien Posture[edit]

Sexuality is control. Sexuality is submission. Sexuality is force. Sexuality is subtlety. For those who embrace the dualistic forces behind sexuality, there is great strength and wisdom to be found. A true master of his or her sexual self will be an adept of social intercourse of all sorts.

Sexual Prerequisite: A consenting human whose total Chi is within 20% difference of your own total Chi.

Cost: 3 Yang Chi and 3 Yin Chi to adopt this posture.

Keywords: Posture; Social;

Effect: By default, no effect.

Maintain: The posture can only be maintained for as long as you maintain behaviour that could be described as seductive, charming or friendly. If you start physically attacking people, for example, the posture ends.

Piercing Insight of the Sexual Master[edit]

By the principle of Heaven, seduction is a game of identifying weaknesses, and then prising them apart.

Sexual Prerequisite: A consenting human female, whose total Yin Chi is within 20% difference of your own total Yang Chi. Note that if the Xia learning this technique is female, it is vital for her to approach this sexual encounter in a dominant and controlling fashion.

Cost: None.

Keywords: Modifier; Social; Attack;

Effect: When you make social attacks in your Seductive Mien Posture, any channelling effects that the defender uses have double the normal chi cost.

Empathy and Understanding of the Sexual Partner[edit]

By the principle of Earth, sex is about understanding, nourishing and working with your partner.

Sexual Prerequisite: A consenting human male, whose total Yang Chi is within 20% difference of your own total Yin Chi. Note that if the Xia learning this technique is male, it is vital for him to approach this sexual encounter in a passive and submissive fashion.

Cost: None.

Keywords: Modifier; Social; Defence;

Effect: When receiving social attacks in your Seductive Mien Posture, any channelling effects that the attacker uses have double the normal chi cost.

Sexual Prerequisite: A consenting human, whose total Yin Chi is less than 50% of your own total Yang Chi.

Cost: None.

Keywords: Modifier; Social; Attack;

Effect: When making social attacks in your Seductive Mien Posture, any defensive kung fu secrets that the defender uses to defend against you have double the normal chi cost.

Flowing Passivity of the Sexual Partner[edit]

Cost: None.

Keywords: Modifier; Social; Defence;

Effect: When defending in your Seductive Mien Posture, any offensive kung fu secrets that the attacker uses to social attack you have double the normal chi cost.

Unstoppable Desire of the Sexual Master[edit]

By the principle of Wind, seduction is about the chase, and the thrill of the hunt.

Sexual Prerequisite: A consenting human female, whose total Yin Chi is within 20% difference of your own total Yang Chi, and who has no sexual desire or friendliness towards you when you have intercourse, but is having intercourse with you willingly for reasons that do not relate to lust, attraction or desire.

Cost: None.

Keywords: Modifier; Social; Attack;

Effect: When making social attacks in your Seductive Mien Posture, you add your Wind trigram to your Motion.

Smiling Deception of the Sexual Partner[edit]

By the principle of Mist, sex is about faking when you have to, because those little lies lead to mutual gain.

Sexual Prerequisite: A consenting human male, whose total Yang Chi is within 20% difference of your own total Yin Chi, and who you have no sexual desire or friendliness towards at the time of intercourse, but who desires you.

Cost: None.

Keywords: Modifier; Social; Defence;

Effect: When defending in your Seductive Mien Posture against social attacks, you add your Mist trigram to your Evasion.

Endless Conquests of the Sexual Master[edit]

By the principle of Thunder, seduction is about your score. Sleep with as many as you can, and as many at once as you can!

Sexual Prerequisite: A group of ten different consenting human females, each of whom's Yin Chi is within 40% difference of your own Yang Chi. You can acheve this prerequisite over several encounters, but with no less than three partners (plus yourself) in each encounter, and with a minimum of ten different partners in total.

Cost: None.

Keywords: Modifier; Social; Attack;

Effect: When you make additional social attacks in your Seductive Mien Posture, any Heaven, Fire or Wind Channelling from the first attack re-applies at no chi cost to all remaining attacks you make that turn, unless those attacks have the graceless keyword.

Unrelenting Endurance of the Sexual Partner[edit]

By the principle of Mountain, sex is about endurance. If you can keep your composure and make sure that you are the last to orgasm, then everyone is happy.

Sexual Prerequisite: A group of ten consenting human males, each of whom's Yang Chi is within 40% difference of your own Yin Chi. You can acheve this prerequisite over several encounters, but with no less than three partners (plus yourself) in each encounter, and with a minimum of ten different partners in total. The presence of additional partners who don't meet the prerequisite doesn't count towards or against this goal. Also, you must ensure that you are the last to orgasm within the group in each encounter.

Cost: None.

Keywords: Modifier; Social; Defence;

Effect: When you defend against more than one social attack per round in your Seductive Mien Posture, any Earth, Water or Mist Channelling from the first attack since the end of your last turn re-applies at no chi cost to all remaining attacks made against you till the start of your next turn.
