Xia: Thousand Kisses Technique

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

Overview

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

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

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.

Sexual Prerequisites

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.

Lore Sheet Limitation

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 opposite 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 seduction encounters - they can apply to social conflicts of any sort.

Seductive Mien Posture

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.

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

Effect: By default, no effect.

Maintain: The stance can only be maintained for as long as you have opponents left in the conflict. Once a conflict is over, the posture fades.

Piercing Insight of the Sexual Master

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.

Cost: None.

Effect: When making attacks in your Seductive Mien Posture, any channelling that the defender uses has double the normal chi cost.

Empathy and Understanding of the Sexual Partner

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.

Cost: None.

Effect: When making attacks in your Seductive Mien Posture, any channelling that the defender uses has double the normal chi cost.

Dominating Power of the Sexual Master

By the principle of Fire, seduction is about control, and mastery of your target.

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

Cost: None.

Effect: When making 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

By the principle of Water, seduction is about control, and mastery of your target.

Sexual Prerequisite: A consenting human, whose total Yang Chi is more than 150% of your own total Yin Chi.

Cost: None.

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