Psychometry (Technique)

A form of extrasensory perception characterized by the ability to make relevant associations from an object of unknown history by making physical contact with said object.

Base

Technique Type: Support Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Self Effect Type: Instant

You touch an object and witness events connected to it; you feel its history. Which vision exactly the user experiences is determined by the GM, but it usually consists of one that grants information relevant to the user and their party's objectives. Said vision tends to be somewhat cryptic, granting something like a clue, a lead, or a key piece of information, but rarely revealing the exact piece of information the user is seeking.

Psychometry can not only be used for objects, but also a small area, such as a room, the front of a building, or the section of a park. When used this way, Psychometry reveals events that have taken place in the location, relevant to the user's objectives.

Burn Energy (Technique)

The user consumes some of their Energy to rid their target of its own.

Base

Technique Type: Support Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Selective Range: 20ft. Effect Type: Instant Saving Throw: User's [Potency] VS Target's [Willpower]

The user of this Technique may choose to apply up to 3 of their own Energy to perform it, ridding their targets of an equal amount of Energy charges.

The targeted subject, however, may roll a Willpower Saving Throw pinned against the user's Potency to resist the effects. If resisted, this Technique feature only consumes 1 Energy from the user.

Modification

As a modification, the feature makes use of the Technique's existing form of Delivery to bestow its effects.

Upgrades

Max Consumption: +2 Energy

Manipulate Plant Life (Technique)

Grants domain over plant life in general, allowing it to behave in ways it typically cannot, and even bestowing some of the user's strength onto them.

Base

Technique Type: Specialty / Support Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Field Size:15ft. radius Effect Type: Passive Channeling Duration Tier (DT): S Duration: 3 rounds Saving Throw: User's Potency VS Target's Willpower*

Nearly all plant life within this technique's radius obey the subconscious commands of this Technique's user. Mechanically, an individual command is issued through a Standard Action, the first of which is performed alongside the activation of the Technique. Said command can be used on multiple of the same plant-life within range, but separate kinds of flora require additional commands.

Which actions can be performed by plant life are based on what type of plant it is (for example, roots and vines are primarily used for grapple and trip attempts), contested actions pinning a 1d20 roll that includes the user's Potency vs the target's relevant Saving Throw.

*Plant life based NPCs and creatures can also be commanded by this Technique, consuming their own turn. Said subjects are able to resist the effects on a turn by turn basis with a successful Willpower Saving Throw.

Upgrades

Range Upgrade: +5ft.

Seal Action (Technique)

Prevents the a target from using a specific action or Technique.

Base

Technique Type: Support Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Selective Range: 20ft. Effect Type: Lingering Duration Tier (DT): S Duration: 3 rounds Saving Throw: User's [Potency] vs target's [Resistance]

The user of this technique can prevent a target from using a specific type of action by successfully triumphing against their Saving Throw.

The actions the user may Seal are the following:

Unarmed fighting.

Attacking with a specific weapon.

Use of any of the following Skills: Guard, Deflection, Evasion, Cunning, Deduce

A specific technique. (The user must already have knowledge behind its nature, or have already witnessed one instance of it. Channeled techniques are interrupted upon being sealed, but lingering effects remain.)

The use of a special feature (such as one of the Yokai's physical traits, or the Spirit Guide's ethereal shift).

A Territory Master's Territory.

More than one action can be sealed, but it must be done so individually.

Upgrades

Halt Projectile (Technique)

Halts any form of projectile in place, be it energy-based or physical, also granting some control over it.

Base

Technique Type: Combat / Support Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Selective (used on projectiles) Range: 20ft. (for targeting purposes) Effect Type: Lingering Duration Tier (DT): S Duration: 3 rounds

This technique can be used to halt any form of projectile in place, be it energy-based or physical. What constitutes a projectile is any non-living object or singular, condensed form of energy travelling with momentum towards a specific direction.

As a Standard Action, the user of this Technique can release the projectile, allowing it to resume its trajectory with the same momentum it had, otherwise, the projectile automatically resumes by itself once this technique's duration elapses. Homing Projectiles will continue chasing their original targets when unfrozen, while manually controlled projectiles will once again be controllable.

Any number of projectiles can be frozen, each one retaining their own frozen duration. When freezing a projectile, the user of this technique can choose to freeze any given projectile for a specific duration as long as it falls within the technique's current maximum duration.

Upgrades allow the user of this technique to perform additional actions on frozen projectiles.

Upgrades

1 point:

Range Upgrade: 10ft.

Additional Projectile Per Single Standard Action: +1

2 points:

Reverse Momentum: As a Standard Action, the user may reverse the momentum of any frozen projectile.

Set-Off: If the frozen projectile has a property that would activate upon making contact with a target, such as an explosion, the user of this technique can choose trigger it while it is while it is frozen in place by using a Standard Action.

Fake-Out: Grants the user the option to, as a Free Action, momentarily halt and resume projectiles fired by them as a fake-out, the mixed timing causing Deflection and Evasion attempts to suffer from a -5. This effect can also be applied to an ally's projectiles but as a Prepared Action.

3 points:

Displace: Allows the user of this technique to move (but not change the orientation) of a frozen projectile to a another location currently within range of its current position (a range equal to the range of this technique). Moving a projectile in such a state does not constitute any momentum, causing no collisions if touching something else in the process, and neither does it trigger any of its effects on contact as well, unless, of course, unfrozen.

Lightning Rod (Technique)

All Projectile and Wave attacks performed within range of someone utilizing this technique, be them from Techniques or standard weapons, are instead drawn to the user while also having their effects completely nullified.

Base

Technique Type: Combat / Support Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Self Size: 15ft. radius Effect Type: Passive Channeling Duration Tier (DT): S Duration: 3 rounds

As its description states, while this technique is being channeled, all Projectiles and Waves within range of the user are drawn away from their intended target and directed at the user of Lightning Rod instead, where their effects are completely nullified, including damage. This includes projectiles and waves coming from standard weapons rather than techniques, such as bullet fired from a gun or the flame from a flamethrower.

The user may not selectively choose which Techniques are affected: all Projectiles and Waves are influenced. Although the radius of this Technique is 15ft, even if a technique is initiated outside of its influence, once it crosses into its boundary it is nonetheless attracted.

Modification

Prerequisites: [Duration Tier: S] [Delivery: Self]

As a modification, this feature's effects are activated alongside the Technique's other Self effects.

Upgrades

1 point:

Size Upgrade: +5ft. radius

Premonition (Technique)

The user of this Technique senses a distant, yet sure to come threat...

Base

Technique Type: Specialty / Support Performance: Free Action Delivery: Self Effect Type: Lingering Duration Tier (DT): D Duration: 24 hours

The user of this Technique senses a distant, yet sure to come threat. Although they cannot tell exactly what it is, they are spiritually and subconsciously prepared for it, granting them a whopping +20 bonus on either a Saving Throw or a Defensive Action done in response to a single threat that very same day. This bonus can be applied in response to anything, but it cannot come until at the very least an hour has passed from the moment of their premonition.

The user can only have one premonition in a single day.

Mirror Technique Effects (Technique)

While being channeled, any non-damaging effects bestowed on its user are also bestowed on the person that caused them.

Base

Technique Type: Combat / Support Performance: Standard Action Delivery: Self Effect Type: Passive Channeling Duration Tier (DT): Mn Duration: 1 minute (10 rounds) Saving Throw: Same as the Mirrored Technique.

While channeling this Technique, any number of effects being applied by to the user by a someone else's Technique are also applied on their owner, be them helpful or harmful. That being said, the owner has an opportunity to resist such effects with a Saving Throw of their own where applicable.

Mirror Effects does not mirror physical consequences that are related to impact and momentum, even if they are caused by direct consequence of the technique (for example, any Knockdown or Pushback caused by physically-oriented Techniques). Territory effects are also excluded from interacting with this technique.

When it comes to Instant and Lingering effects, the incoming technique's effects can be mirrored on the owner even if they were resisted by the target, but they do indeed need to have at least prompted a Saving Throw or an immunity check.

Channeled effects are cancelled on both the target and their owner the moment the latter ceases channeling them.

Modification

Prerequisites: [Delivery: Self] [Duration Tier: Mn or less]

As a modification, this feature's effects are activated alongside the Technique's other Self effects.
