Powered Jump (Technique)

An energy-powered leap used to cross great distances and add momentum to melee attacks.

Base

Technique Type: Combat Performance: Movement Delivery: Self Range: 60ft. Effect Type: Instant

Powered Jump is an action that can be used alongside standard Movement. Aside from the usual Energy consumed for performing a Technique, half of the user's standard Movement is also consumed to perform it. The user leaps a distance of up to 60ft. (or its currently upgraded Range), and they can make use of the powerful force behind it by applying it to a follow-up melee attack.

This follow-up melee attack benefits from a Potency bonus on top of any Potency bonuses added by imbuing the attack itself with Energy (i.e, in such cases, double the user's Potency is applied). This same bonus applies to momentum-based Techniques with a delivery of 'Contact'. Only the first strike in a series of momentum-based physical attacks receives the added bonuses of Powerful Jump, and these bonuses are only applied upon jumping a minimum of 60ft.

Upgrades

1 point:

Range Upgrade: +30ft.

2 points:

Powerful Takeoff: Adjacent subjects are challenged by a powerful shockwave generated by the force of the jump. Said subjects must roll a Guard check pinned against the user's Potency to avoid getting pushed back and becoming Downed. A failed check knocks the subject down, and pushes them away a total of up to 5ft. per the user's base Potency (not the result of the rolled Potency).

Skate (Technique)

Allows the user to skate along a surface through the use of energy, protected from certain properties said surface might have.

Base

Technique Type: Combat / Specialty Performance: Movement Delivery: Self Range: User’s Movement + 30ft. Effect Type: Passive Channeling Duration Tier (DT): Mn Duration: 1 Minute (10 rounds)

A pretty straightforward Technique that allows the user to substitute their regular movement for a form of energy-enabled skating. Energy concentrated on the bottom of the user's feet protects them from otherwise dangerous terrain, ignoring not only potential damage but also miscellaneous properties such as stickiness and slipperiness. This form of skating also allows them to traverse over non-solid surfaces such as water or quicksand.

As with regular movement, the user may double it by using a Full Round Action.

Modification

Requirement:

[Performance: Movement]

As a modification, Skate mixes its effects with the existing Movement-based Technique.

Upgrades

1 point:

Range Upgrade: +20ft.

Alternate Space (Technique)

Allows the user to cross into a dimension of reality that overlaps with our own, specifically one that shares the same environment.

Base

Technique Type: Specialty, Support Performance: Full Round Action Delivery: Self Effect Type: Instant

Upon casting this Technique, the individual shifts into another layer of reality, one that overlaps with what is known to mortals as the "real world". In this alternate space, minerals, the soil, and similar earthly features exist as they do in the "real world", including those that have been constructed into buildings and pathways. While these features can be touched, they cannot, however, be moved or influenced in any way.

Elements such as water, fire, ice, and energy do not exist in this alternate world (lakes, for example, appear simply as large craters), although they can be conjured up through abilities, techniques, etc. Just as their "real world" counterparts, these summoned elements do not manifest  themselves on the other side.

When it comes to life-forms, this slice of reality is mostly barren— although that is ultimately left up to the GM's discretion— but the flora that exist in the "real world" also simultaneously exists in this realm as well. With that being said, just like with earthly materials, although it can be touched, it cannot be moved in any way.

Techniques performed in this alternate space appear solely in alternate space, and cannot target individuals in the "real world" (and vise versa).

Any other user with this same technique feature— whether it is its base feature or a modification— ends up in this same layer of reality upon using it.

The energy of individuals in this realm can be sensed from the "real world".

To return to the "real world", the player must perform this Technique again.

Afterimage (Technique)

The user moves almost instantaneously from point A to point B, leaving behind an image of themselves that is almost indistinguishable from the real deal, even when being sensed.

Base

Technique Type: Combat / Specialty Performance: Movement Delivery: Self Effect Type: Lingering Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: User's Evasion VS Target's Deduce

Upon using this Technique, the user moves almost instantaneously from point A to point B, leaving behind an image of themselves for a brief moment. For the time this image is there, it retains enough of the user’s energy signature that it is almost indistinguishable from the real deal, even when accounting for spiritual sensory.

Subjects must roll a Deduce check pinned against the user's Evasion to catch the user's movement, consequentially seeing through the Technique. Of course, the user must be able to move out of visual range for this illusion to function in the first place.

This Technique allows the user to move up to double their regular Movement and lasts until the start of their next turn. Naturally, it must be physically possible for the user to move to their target spot in the first place for the Technique to be possible.

Upgrades

2 points:

Movement Upgrade: Movement is now tripled instead of doubled.

Surface Adhesion (Technique)

A technique that opens up the option of using walls, ceilings, and other surfaces to traverse and perform maneuvers.

Base

Technique Type: Combat / Specialty Performance: Movement Delivery: Self Effect Type: Passive Channeling Duration: 1 round

Surface Adhesion is a movement technique that expands the user's available maneuvering options by allowing them to traverse across walls, ceilings, and other surfaces otherwise unavailable due to the nature of gravity.

Surface Adhesion is also used to maintain a solid balance/grip when traversing through slippery or uneven surfaces, through powerful winds, or when the current location is suffering from tremors or other forms of violent motion. It can also be used to prevent being knocked down by such forces as well as by any physical blows received, any attempts to resist so benefiting from a +5 bonus due to the strong bond between the user and the surface. Grapple attempts in general also benefit from just as much of a bonus to their rolls. Last but not least, successful Deflections on melee attacks lead to a free Grapple attempt when successful, but only if they are performed with the user's hands, feet, or other designated organ designated for Surface Adhesion.

Modification

Requirement: [Performance: Movement]

Applies the effects of Surface Adhesion to the Movement Technique being modified.

Upgrades

2 points:

Improved Grip: +5 bonus is increased to +10

Shadow Walk (Technique)

An elusive and hasty way of moving, typical of vampires and other dark beings.

Base

Technique Type: Combat / Specialty Performance: Movement Delivery: Self Effect Type: Lingering Duration: 1 round

There being no universal term for the type of super-speed or evasiveness that vampires as well as being such as Akuma’s Street Fighter will sometimes employ, one in which they will move from one spot to another in an unusually elusive and disorienting way, it has been deemed in this system as Shadow Walk.

Shadow Walk is performed by using the Movement part of one's turn, which is doubled for this Technique, the elusive movement granting a +10 to the user's Evasion during this round.

Upgrades

2 points:

Movement Upgrade: Movement is now tripled instead of doubled.

Shun Goku Satsu: In place of benefiting from a +10 bonus to Evasion for one round, the user may choose to end the technique as a follow-up Energy Imbued Attack that benefits from double their Potency at no additional energy cost.

[yu-yu-hakusho-rpg]

Flight (Technique)

Allows the user to remain in flight for as long as they continue to maintain it with Energy.

Base

Technique Type: Specialty / Support Performance: Movement Delivery: Self Range: 30ft. (movement) Effect Type: Passive Channeling Duration Tier (DT): Mn Duration: 1 Minute

A pretty straightforward Technique, it allows the user to substitute their regular movement for flight. As with regular movement, the user may double it by using a Full Round Action.

Modification

Requirement: [Performance: Movement]

As a modification, Flight mixes its effects with the existing Movement-based Technique.

Upgrades

1 point:

Range Upgrade: +20ft.

2 points:

Graceful Flight: Evasion attempts performed during flight benefit from +3.

[yu-yu-hakusho-rpg]

Teleportation (Technique)

The ability to transfer one's own body from one point in space to another, instantly.

Base

Technique Type: Specialty Performance: Movement Delivery: Self Range: 40ft. Effect type: Instant

Teleportation is a Technique feature which uses a turn's Movement to transport the user's body, instantly, from their current location to a newly selected location. Upon acquisition of the Technique, the player must designate whether they want the act of teleporting with this Technique to always cancel out any momentum the user might have during its use or not.

A teleporting individual has a varying percent chance of teleporting into an occupied space when doing so into a potentially crowded area that lies beyond their vision. Teleporting into solid material cancels out the distance traveled and damages the user for around 1/5 of their health.

Modification

Requirement: [Performance: Movement]

Most Techniques performed by Move Actions do not necessarily have a way to be combined with Teleportation, but if the player finds a creative and sensible way to do so, it should be allowed so long as it makes sense and is also balanced.

Upgrade

1 point:

Range Upgrade: +20ft.
