Substitute (Technique)
Famously used by shinobi, the substitute Technique makes it so that an object takes the punishment that was intended for the user.
Base
Technique Type: Combat Performance: Defensive Action Delivery: Self Effect Type: Conjuration
Substitute can be activated as a Defensive Action, appearing in front of the user and taking all punishment intended for them. Unlike the standard Defensive Actions, substitute can be made to take the effects of Selective Techniques. Punishment also does take each individual hit of a Full Attack. The punishment-absorbing object disappears after 2 rounds.
Substitute cannot be made to take the damage of self-induced effects, nor can it be made to take the punishment of effects already active on the user.
Substitute can be Modified by techniques such as Teleportation and Invisibility, allowing them to trigger as a Defensive Action alongside Substitute, causing not only the object to take the punishment intended for the user, but to immediately move the user either out of sight or out of range of any potential follow ups.
