Damaging Field (Technique)

A field around the user damages all targets within its range, friend and foe alike, for as long as it's kept active.

Base

Technique Type: Combat Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Field (Centered at the User) Size: 15ft. radius Effect type: Active Channeling Duration Tier (DT): S Duration: (3 rounds) Damage: 1d4 + Potency

A field centered at the user deals damage on every round to all of those that find themselves in it at the end of the user's turn. It's exact manifestation is up for customization as long as it is delivered through its globe-like range.

Damaging Field is a strong Technique because its damage cannot be avoided with standard Defensive Actions, although it's damage cannot be upgraded outside of increasing the user's own Potency stat.

Modification

Requirement: [Delivery: Field] [Effect Type: Instant or Active Channeling (DT: S Only)] [Special: Enemy-Affecting Feature]

As a modification, the feature makes use of the Technique's already-existing method of delivery to cause damage. When applied to either an Instant or an Active Channeling Technique, damage is only dealt if at the very least one of the Technique's other effects are confirmed to affect its target (i.e., failed saving throw, etc).

Upgrades

1 point:

Size Upgrade: +5ft.

Poison (Technique)

A lethal Technique whose effects cripple the target over time.

Base

Technique Type: Combat Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Contact Effect Type: Lingering Duration Tier (DT): S Duration: 3 rounds Damage: 1d4 Saving Throw: User's Potency VS Target's Resistance

As poison spreads through the target's body, its effects become stronger. Aside from causing damage on every turn it remains active, poison begins to hinder not only the target's movement and actions, but their senses as well.

The user of this Technique first rolls for Potency and writes the number down, setting up the DC to beat by the Target's Resistance in order combat the effects. The Target's first Resistance roll determines if the poison is successfully inflicted or not. If it is not resisted, on every turn thereafter, the target rolls for Resistance at the start of their turn to see if the additional effects other than damage take place on that round. A success on those latter rolls does not cure the target from the poison, it simply prevents all non-damaging effects from taking place on that round; the poison still remains in the target's system for the Technique's duration after it has been confirmed to successfully be inflicted.

The non-damaging effects that the poison causes are as follows: -On every turn that the effects are not resisted, the target is considered Dizzy. -On two consecutive turns that the effects are not resisted, the target is now also considered Pained, going away alongside Dizzy upon the next successful Resistance check or until the Poison's duration has ended. -On three consecutive turns that the effects are not resisted, the target is considered Paralyzed/Helpless in addition to being Pained and Dizzy, all effects going away upon the next successful Resistance check or until the Poison's duration has ended.

Modification

Requirement: [Delivery: Contact, Projectile, or Wave]

As a modification, the feature makes use of the Technique's Delivery to inflict its effects. It does not share its duration with other Lingering effects.

Upgrades

2 point:

Duration Upgrade: +3 rounds

Base

Technique Type: Combat Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Projectile Range: 60ft. Effect type: Instant Damage: 1d10 + Potency

Upgrades

Size Upgrade: +1 tier [+5ft. radius & -5 to evade, but +5 to guard] per tier. User chooses Size tier desired upon firing. 10ft. and up may hit multiple targets, but likewise the Defensive Action of a single target may protect all affected, depending on positioning.

Scatter: Gives the option to launch the projectile at half its Range and Damage (after roll calculation), damaging all targets within its threatened area as if it were a Wave Technique, but unlike such Techniques, targets may Deflect it as their Defensive Action.

[yu-yu-hakusho-rpg]

Damaging Wave (Technique)

A cone-like Technique that causes damage to all targets within its range.

Base

Technique Type: Combat Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Wave Range: 15ft. Effect type: Instant Damage: 1d8 + Potency

Modification

Requirement: [Delivery: Wave]

As a modification, the feature makes use of the Technique's already-existing method of delivery to cause damage upon contact, once per use.

When applied to Active Channeling Techniques, it outputs its damage at the start of every cycle (the turn the user must expend an additional Energy to maintain the Technique active).

Sonic Blast (Technique)

Sonic Blast is a Combat Technique that, aside from doing damage, Staggers and Deafens its targets.

Base

Technique Type: Combat Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Field Range: 15ft. Size: 15ft. radius Effect Type: Instant Damage: 1d4 + Potency Saving Throw: User’s [Potency] VS Target’s [Resistance] (to resist Staggered)

The user selects a location for the center point of the blast. Those within its radius (Size) receive its damage output, are Deafened for 1d4 rounds, and then must roll a Resistance check pinned against the Technique user's Potency to determine if they are also Staggered for 1 round.

As a prepared action, Sonic Blast can be used to interrupt Attacks and Techniques the moment the target is channeling energy for their usage, stopping them before they’re executed, but nevertheless consuming their energy cost (given the target is successfully Staggered).

Modification

Requirement: [Delivery: Contact, Projectile]

As a modification, Sonic Blast is triggered with its center point at the location where the Contact or Projectile Technique lands, using its own Base stats instead of adopting those of the existing Technique.

Upgrades

1 point:

Range Upgrade: 10ft.

Size Upgrade: +5ft.

2 points:

Damage Upgrade: +1d4 (maximum of 10d4)

Piercing (Modification)

Adds the properties of piercing damage to an already damaging Technique.

Modification

Prerequisites: [Technique with Damage Output]

Damage induced by a Technique modified by this feature gains the advantages of Piercing Damage. True to its name, the attack is capable of going through its primary target. When it comes to melee attacks, this means that Piercing attacks directed at two or more targets that are in close proximity of each other (those sharing the same space in the case of grid-based combat) are all threatened by it (with potentially even more targets if the attack has an increased Reach), while ranged attacks will go through any amount of targets in its path. Critical attacks of this kind tend to cause severe blood loss (see Dizzy), left up to the GM’s discretion.

Attacks that have a designated target, such as Homing Attacks, will pierce through any subjects in their way to the target, but once they have struck the primary target, their homing properties subside (i.e., they do not continue following the target, piercing them them multiple times, etc.)

Acquiring more than one of the Slashing, Bludgeoning, and Piercing mods grants the user a variant version of the Technique for each one.

[yu-yu-hakusho-rpg]

Bludgeoning (Modification)

Adds the properties of bludgeoning damage to an already damaging Technique.

Modification

Prerequisites: [Technique with Damage Output]

A Technique modified by the Bludgeoning property, upon being successful, ignores any form of damage reduction the target has is ignored. Additionally, Bludgeoning attacks benefit from a +3 on their attack roll against Guard and barrier-like techniques.

Critical attacks of this kind tend to cause fractures (see Injured) or shatter equipment, left up to the GM’s discretion.

Acquiring more than one of the Slashing, Bludgeoning, and Piercing mods grants the user a variant version of the Technique for each one.
