"If you want power, follow M. Bison. If you want to save your soul, come with me." This is the rival school to Psycho Power and Ler Dritt. Aura Combat can utilize Soul Power, a clean form of energy that is unlike the malignant Pscyho-Power.
Most aura users hold to the general philosophy that their power should be used to benefit mankind and to better understand oneself. M. Bison's use of Psycho Power and desire for the domination of all things is a threat to freedom. Likewise, M. Bison realizes that Aura Users are dangerous for they can recognize Psycho Power for what it is. Their mysterious leader, Rose, is widely rumored to be dead.
The various Punch and Kick special maneuvers may vary from person to person, but the Block, Grab, and Focus powers are the same in all aura users' styles. To represent this, you can replace any of the 1 or 2 PP maneuvers under Punch and Kick with PP maneuvers of equal price from another Style.
The Backgrounds recommended for this style are Allies and Contacts (to be part of the secret society opposing Shadoloo).
However, not all aura users follow Rose's philosophy. For them, replace the word "Soul" where it appears in maneuvers with "Aura." You cannot do this for the maneuvers under Soul Power Maneuvers in the Psychic War section. Soul Power Maneuvers are merely a subset of Focus powers.

Style Recommendations:
Aura Users have the primary Technique of Focus so Psychic Combat is a good additional style to learn under the Multiple Style house rule.
Phoenix Eye Kung Fu is horribly aggressive
and brutal, knee strikes, choking, and strikes to vitals are encouraged.
Tiger Claw Kung Fu emphasizes power and strength, no less aggressive but
relies on brute force with punches and kicks. Leopard Style Kung Fu is
more cautious. Eagle Claw Kung Fu is acrobatic like Wu Shu, using kicks
and claw strikes. White Crane Style Kung Fu emphasizes evasion and carefully
placed punches and kicks, often training students by fighting on the tops
of poles.
Although multiple styles can be learned
through this conglomeration style list, some students only concentrate
on one animal.
Special: Hung Gar Kung Fu (Wu Shu) uses many Shaolin-based animal techniques patterned after the tiger, leopard, heron, monkey, and dragon. Hung Gar Kung Fu has access to the Dragon Punch (4) and Flying Thrust Kick (4); however, no Eagle or Phoenix moves may be learned, nor can the Crane Dodges, Crane Stance, or Mantis Strike. The Crane Fist is renamed the Heron Fist.

Ankoku Shinkuu-ken Karate
A martial art with training that is shrouded in secrecy. Instruction is given in secluded places without regard for the survival of the student if they prove too weak. The end result is the same: students are forged
into merciless weapons of destruction or the student does not survive.
Though masters claim they have brought forth their techniques from the
place that is the origin of all martial arts, the lessons it teaches are
the anithesis of most other forms. Whether or not a student of this art is evil,
he will come with baggage (and a past that is reluctant to relinquish control).
The Shinkuu-ken form teaches the mastery of energy projection (Focus) techniques. The full style name roughly translates to "Dark Vacuum Fist."
Schools: Secluded, hidden places Select 26 of these maneuvers to be available to the character. You must eliminate at least 3 maneuvers
that are worth 5 PP each. You cannot remove any maneuvers that are worth 1 PP or 2 PP each.

Hakyokuseiken is a lost martial art. When
Geese Howard "The Ultimate Self-Made Badguy" killed Jeff Bogard and took
the ancient scrolls detailing the martial art, he became the person with
the most complete understanding of it in the world; and therefore, capable
of controlling its most powerful Chi energy blasts.
The son of Jeff Bogard, Terry Bogard, has
incorporated what he can remember of Hakyokuseiken from watching his father
into his other martial arts knowledge.
Schools: There are no schools. Though
others may have perhaps come across ancient scrolls or other martial artists
who contain knowledge of this style.

Suzakuken-Ryuu Kung Fu Suzakuken is a style emphasizing rotating punches, diving attacks, and sudden unpredictable assaults as one might expect of a bird that corkscrews through the air. The style has been influenced by several legendary birds throughout its history.
The symbol of the original style was the elegant and noble Suzaku (Chinese: Vermilion Bird) is one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations, representing the south and the summer season and containing one-fourth of the stellar mansions (or lesser constellations).
The style didn't really take off until practioners brought it to Japan where the ho'o bird was added as a style symbol. The Hou'ou (or Ho'o) (Chinese: Fenghuang) symbolizes loyalty, honesty, virtue, grace, the marriage of yin and yang, as well as being the divine emblem of the empress. It is a chimera-like bird with parts of 8 animals whose body is also said to represent the six celestial bodies (head/sky, eyes/sun, back/moon, wings/wind, and feet/earth) while its feathers contain the five fundamental colors (black, white, red, blue and yellow). The incorporation of the ho'o into the style puts Suzakuken-Ryuu in the company of Phoenix Eye Kung Fu and Shiranui Ninjitsu.
When used as the symbol of the style, the ho'o is shown with its talons and wings spread. Notably, the philosophical portion of the style emphasizes the importance of virtue and grace.
The original practitioners were women who utilized cosmic yin energy in their attacks; however, flames became common later on as the style was influenced by legends of the Western phoenix, which spontaneously combusts and resurrects from its own ashes, and by male students of the style.
The most recent group to practice Suzakuken-Ryuu was one of Japan's despotic shogunates. After it was destroyed by internal strife with Suzakuken-Ryuu fighters battling one another, the martial style vanished from the public view, mimicking the legends that say the Hou'ou only appears during times of virtue and disappears during dark times.
In modern times, descendants of the previous practitioners have appeared, having renamed themselves Hino and grown into the powerful financial powerhouse, Hino Heavy Industries. The CEO's only daughter, Barahime Hino, is one such modern day practitioner. Modern day Hino genealogists cannot determine whether they are descended from the shogunate despots or the rebels. Notably, they don't share their genealogical history outside the family.
Roleplaying: Students of this style are unlikely to learn another style as Suzakuken teaches pride and confidence in its philosophy and techniques. Students should be elegant and have a strong sense of pride and justice. And just maybe, they might have a bit of arrogance and overconfidence. Students and successors are chosen with care by the few masters and practitioners.
Schools: Recently, this style had been all but lost. However, times may be changing and the style may return as if a phoenix from its own ashes. Thusly, there are no publicly known schools. Maneuvers

This is a chivalrous Germanic style, made
up from various other martial arts. However, the currently most well known
practitioner of this style is Wolfgang Krauser the "Dreaded Dark Kaiser."
All others are either from a related lineage or are their disciples. This
is the only style to teach the dreaded "Kaiser Wave," and it's other moves
such as the highly incendiary Blitz Ball are deservedly feared. Still,
this style is one shrouded in secrecy, and five successes are needed on
a Style Lore roll to know of it.

Reimi J'hana took two things from her mother, her company and the desire to
perfect one's own power. Taking the few things she learned from her mother's
training (child abuse, well, what did you really expect?). Okay, taking what she
learned from the myriad of dojos and temples where she was sent off to in order
to hone her body and mind, she compiled this list of maneuvers which she has
taught to a few select girls (private army of three, apprentices). Her own
personal aura energy is red, but that of her students may vary. Reimi herself is not inherently psychic despite having awesome control over her own energy. This maneuver
list contains some moves that Reimi does not know but are available to
students of this style at reduced cost (because of the nature of the training). After all, she can always delegate other instructors.

Grab Focus Hwarang-Do is an ancient Korean martial
art (beginning during the Shilla Dynasty, 57 B.C) that teaches many combat
techniques, including "supernatural abilities." It is a way of life and
honor; it's title translating to "The Way of Flowering Knights/Manhood."
It was eventually outlawed when the official religion of Korea changed
(1392 AD to 1910 AD), but it has had a recent resurgence. Tae Kwon Do is
one of the many descendants of this art.

Powers
of the Kagura-style: The Mirage attacks of the Kagura-style
can return the fighter instantly to the spot where she was at the start of the round
after an attack. In fact, those who are very perceptive will see that she
never left; she was in two places at the same time. This makes it much
harder for the enemy to counterattack. Also, the Mirage power allows the fighter to avoid projectiles like a Jump card. If she is interrupted and takes damage during
a Mirage attack, the Mirage power is cancelled for that round, and she doesn't have the choice to return to her starting hex. Using this power with an attack costs 1 Chi. The Basic Mirage allows the Mirage power
to be used with any of the 9 Basic Maneuvers and in conjunction with cards such as Jump or Accelerated Jump. The Basic Mirage card need not be mentioned in Combos. Also, the Mirage Strike maneuvers may be played without the Chi cost, and thusly, without the Mirage ability. Another one of those many styles of Kung
Fu, this is the style of Kanzuki Karin, who entered the Street Fighter
Tournament to defeat her rival Sakura.

Kopo-ken is a deadly Japanese close combat
style. A fighter using this style will rapidly move in close and deliver
quick blows to vulnerable spots on the human body, inflicting painful and
sometimes bone-breaking damage. You don't need to kill or KO an opponent
to destroy their ability to fight (although that always helps).
The fighting stance is both hands held
up around chest level with the hands held in position for ridge hand or
knife hand strikes.
Schools: Kopo-ken schools will not
be as easy to find as schools for the more popular and less dangerous martial
arts. For example, one might be a dingy basement hidden in the shadows
of a lesser part of town where people fear to tread, or an ancient master
of the art may happen to be a family friend.

Martial Dance (Mai-Style Kung Fu)
Developed by the Ayako Yuki, katas of this
fighting style do appear to be dancing, with plenty of spinning, twirling,
and acrobatic leaps and splits. It is often only when on the receiving
end of one of the spinning kicks or twirling leaps that one realizes it
is a dangerous martial art.
Being a form created by an entertainer
fed up with the degenerating state of Japan, it is a huge mish-mash of
various styles (mainly kung fu and karate). Its strengths are kicks, grabs,
and athletics. Practitioners learn to spin uninvited dance partners through
the floor.

The secrets of Atemi "body strikes" are
used to paralyze opponents with intense pain, knock out, and kill. Many
arts, such as Aikido, Jiu Jitsu, and acupuncture , teach about special

Wing Chun
There are legends that this martial began as one for women of smaller stature (the legend of Yim Wing Chun who defeated the warlord whom she was to marry) or that it was used by revolutionaries calling themselves the Red Boat Opera Society. In any case, the emphasis is on close-range fighting without the use of wrestling maneuvers. The opponents are kept so close that you can feel the fight with the skills called Chi Sao (sticky arms) and Chi Gerk (sticky legs). And while you stick to your opponent's limbs, preventing him from attacking, you disable him.
This style uses only the two fastest basic punches and kicks. Slow attacks and those with circular motions are discouraged. Straight-line punches, chaining punches, and striking with both leg and arm simultaneously (to confuse the opponent) are just some of the strategies. Once you close range and stay there, quick strikes that you can make while defending (deflecting attacks) are favored.
It is not a popular tournament sport because it teaches strikes to vital areas (such as the eyes and throat) which are particularly dangerous and a "toned down" version of the style is not taught.

Use the Legend button for a brief Japanese mythology lesson and my commentary.
Orochi Magatama is about controlling the power of the Dragon's Blood. This
also tends to either drive the individual insane or destroy their emotional
capacity. Their blood is liquid rage and awakening it is the most dangerous
possible path. Other options for creating an Orochi character can be found at the Orochi page. You will find Orochi maneuvers, Orochi sub-styles, and rules for taking Orochi as a Background instead of a style.
How Orochi Dice Work
When you are at half Health or below, immediately roll your Orochi dice. Consult
the table below against your permanent Willpower. If there is no effect, repeat
this roll for each time an attack/maneuver causes you damage - until you are
above half health again.
Note: You may spend a Willpower to take a success away from the Orochi
dice.
Botch: Don't roll the Orochi dice again for this scene and for 15 minutes
after.
No Successes: No effect.
1 Success: If your Willpower is 4 or less, you enter a Berserk rage.
2 Successes: If your Willpower is 6 or less, you enter a Berserk rage.
3 Successes: If your Willpower is 8 or less, you enter a Berserk rage.
4 Successes: If your Willpower is 10 or less, you enter a Berserk rage.
If it is 6 or less, you enter the Riot of Blood.
5 Successes or more: Riot of Blood.
In between rounds, you may attempt to break out of Berserk or Riot of Blood if
you spend 1 Willpower. Roll your permanent Willpower. If you exceed the roll of
the Orochi dice, you break free from the Orochi.
Orochi Power Pool
An Orochi has an extra pool of temporary points equal to their Orochi dice. It
can be used for either Willpower or Chi, and you regain it at the same rate you
regain Chi (whenever you get back Chi, the pool is restored by the same amount).
When Berserk or Riot of Blood, the pool can be freely used except for break-out
rolls for either condition.
An Orochi can attempt to use the pool in other conditions. For every point of
the pool used, make the following roll. Roll your permanent Willpower. If you
match or exceed 5 successes, you don't go Berserk. If you don't, you do. If you
Botch, you enter the Riot of Blood.
Maneuver Substitution (Style Customization): For every dot you have in Orochi Magatama, you may substitute one elemental-specific Orochi Maneuver for another maneuver of equal PP cost. You cannot learn Maneuvers from more than one Orochi element so choose carefully.
Schools: There are no Orochi schools.
You must find someone else who knows the secrets of Orochi. Teachers aren't
always human (could be the spirit within your blood).
Members: Those born with the blood
of Orochi who choose to unlock the power.

current Health is halved (round down). Rolling three successes inflicts

techniques of Tien-Hsueh (or of a Kabaddi master).

4, Finger Tip Attack
Power Points: Tien-Hsueh, Snake

Description: In this attack the
fighter strikes at one of his opponent's vital points, causing paralysis.
System: The fighter must strike
an unarmored vital point on the subject's limb to be paralyzed. If 3 or
more successes are scored on a Punch + Medicine Roll, the limb is paralyzed.
If one arm is paralyzed, the victim's
Punch is decreased by 1 until the limb is restored.
A paralyzed leg reduces Athletics by 3
(negative Athletics is possible, the negative detracts from the Move bonus
of the Move maneuver, also Move is -3 Speed), and the character cannot
Jump or do any Jumping maneuver. Kick damage is -4 unless the character
accepts a knockdown from doing the Kick maneuver.
If both legs are paralyzed, a character can drag himself with both arms 1 hex per round at speed -2 or with one arm at -4 speed (as long as a Strength roll [dif 6] is made).
Five successes are required on a normal Medicine roll to undo this with a quick fix, at least two rounds per attempt. Otherwise, the limb will be usable in 1 hour per success rolled with the Paralysis Atemi.
If two successes are scored, the character's Punch or Kick (if arm or leg was target) is temporarily reduced by One for this and the next round.
If only one success is scored, the target's next action is -1 from a sudden jolt of pain but nothing more.
If the opponent blocks, One more success than normal is required for each effect (and difficulty is increased to 7).

Speed: +0
Damage: None
Move: -2

Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: As per Atemi

heal; the victim's Chi fades. There is no known cure (but it may involve
some high level of Healing Atemi).
System: The victim of this maneuver
loses one permanent Chi per day until the Chi reaches zero, at which point
the victim heals bruise DMG at a rate of one point per day, and is no longer
able to heal aggravated wounds. There is no known cure. If the victim spends
one Will, the attacker must roll Three successes (diff 6) on a Focus +
Mysteries roll. Otherwise, the effect is automatic (blocking doesn't help)
although a Will can be spent to require the Snake Master to roll Four successes
(i.e., the one Will you can spend to Soak).

Power Points: Tai Chi, Any Karate,
Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu, Shaolin KF, Animal KF, Any WS, Qwan Ki Do 2;

Description: Tamashiwara, or the
"Art of Breaking", can more or less be described as practice in board breaking.
A character with this maneuver will have learned how to use nearly any
part of their body to break wood, ice, glass, and stone, by breaking the
Chi of the object.

on nearly any non-living object (things like the Earth are too big). Make
a Chi (Permanent) roll against a difficulty determined as follows:
Ice: 4
Wood: 5
Reinforced Wood: 6
Stone/Brick/Cement: 7
Metal: 8
Serious/Extreme Armor: 9
Diamond: 10
If you score at least Three successes, you will shatter the object. Less or more successes are required if the object is smaller or larger. You cannot use Art of Breaking on living things, or cybernetic implants (atempting to do so delivers damage to the target as per a Fierce punch).

difficulty 7
Speed: -2
Damage: Special
Move: None
Avalanche Punch
Prerequisites: Wild Boulder Punch, Punch 5
Power Points: Kyokugen-Ryuu, Qwan Ki Do, Pi Gua Quan, Tai Chi 3; Kempo 4; Any 5

(If 5 damage is rolled, they are knocked back 10 hexes.)
Cost: 1 Chi

Banishing Punch (Warrior's World)
Prerequisites: Athletics 3, Punch
4, Focus 3
Power Points: Sambo, Tai Chi 3;
Ler Dritt, Aura Combat 4; Any 5
Description: Zangief, never one
to be left behind, developed this maneuver to deal with his opponent's
projectile attacks; the fancy fireballs, sonic booms, and so on of his
opponents had always been a problem for him, so he improved his mental
control a little bit, and was able to develop a glowing punch that could
obliterate an incoming projectile. Since then, he has taught this to other
Sambo fighters.
System: In combat, the fighter
throws a punch at a single incoming Focus projectile, making a Strength + Punch
roll (difficulty 6). If he matches or exceeds the opponent's Wits+Focus roll, the Focus projectile is canceled out. Banishing Punch can nullify a Focus projectile and still make a damage test on a foe.
When the banishing punch is used against an opponent directly, it inflicts
damage as per the stats below. This cannot nullify more than one Focus projectile per round.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: +1
Damage: +2
Move: -2
Breaking Point
Prerequisites: Art of Breaking
- Tamashiwara, Focus 4, Punch 4
Power Points: Any 4
Description: First developed by
Chinese amazons, this power has also appeared elsewhere. It is a rare and
powerful attack that can cause large solid object to explode into dangerous
fragments with but the touch of a fingertip.
System: Make a successful test with Art of Breaking. Then, all adjacent hexes (and one hex beyond them!) suffer the damage. The Chi spent for this maneuver counts as an automatic success towards the 3 needed.
This does one hex of knockback to all hit. The fighter who initiates this blast is
immune, their body built-up from the rigorous practice of this power. The
floor/ground is an often used target of this power. The attacker rolls
Strength + Focus for this attack. In addition, for every 1 higher than 6 is difficulty for making the Tamashiwara roll, the damage of this maneuver is +1. Glass adds +1 damage even though it is a lesser difficulty.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: -1
Damage: +4
Move: None

times. It will knockdown opponents interrupted in an Aerial attack. It
is not an Aerial maneuver. This can't be used to avoid projectiles. During
the movement phase, your last 3 hexes of movement each have one of the

Prerequisites: Punch 3, Medicine 2
Power Points: Tien-Hsueh, Snake
Style 1; Aikido, Kabaddi, Jiu Jitsu 2
Description: The fingertip attack
is one of the more unusual hand strikes possible; the fighter attacks with
but a single finger. This is not normally used for the damage it inflicts
(which is small but painful), but in order to deliver pressure point strikes.
System: This attack inflicts only
2 health levels of damage (do not roll, automatic) if the damage is 2 or
more above the target's soak. It inflicts 1 health level if the damage

Iron Hand
Prerequisites: Punch 5, Focus 2
Power Points: Heidern, Kempo 1; Any style that teaches
both Focus and Punch maneuvers 2 (1 PP if possess the Art of Breaking);
Any 4
The fighter trains his hands to
punch solid objects without taking damage. The fighter will start by punching
his hands into hot sand and end the training process by punching solid
metal. The fighter can even punch someone with Maka Wara without fear.
System: Simply put, the fighter
suffers no damage from punching objects that might normally hurt him when
using this technique (maneuver). By spending 1 Chi, the character can use
Iron Hand with any Punch maneuver for 10 rounds (or one scene; whichever)
and avoid taking damage from using any Punch against Maka Wara. While it
may be considered that someone with a Punch of 5 or 6 can punch solid objects
without taking damage, a botch will still hurt them. With Iron Hand, even
punching with poor skill can't harm the fighter (i.e. won't take damage
from a botch).
This power will not protect a character
attempting to punch acid, electricity, or other non-physical matter with
the exception of fire/heat. A character can prevent his hands from being
burned if he has spent a Chi (fire cannot hurt his hands/forearms).
To purchase the Art of Breaking after
buying this maneuver costs 1 PP less. To purchase this power for Kick costs
the same.
To activate this power to nullify Maka
Wara, simply play this card in addition to any other card played.
Cost: None normally (Special: 1
Chi)
Modifiers: Iron Hand's effects
are simply applied to the character's punches.

(Or this attack can be used to strike all adjacent hexes once (including opponent's in fighter's hex). Can dodge projectiles like a Jump. The fighter may choose to return to her original hex after the attack is completed unless she was interrupted and took damage.
Although a Mirage Strike, the fighter cannot play this card without the Chist cost for the Mirage Power as can the other Mirage Strikes. For purposes of variable combos, this card is part of the Mirage Strikes and not related to the Power Uppercut-Rising Uppercut-Mirage Rising Uppercut maneuver tree.
Learning this maneuver confers upon the Mirage Rising Uppercut card the ability to strike all adjacent hexes rather than strike a single opponent twice.

of fire. He punches, and the target is consumed in fire.

Prerequisites: Passing Strike
Power Points: Any KF, Any NJ 4
The warrior dashes through a group
of combatants and pauses for a breath as all the foes passed simultaneously
crumple over.
System: This is a move/attack,
move/attack maneuver. For every hex passed through, one opponent adjacent
to that hex may be attacked. Damage to all targets is considered simultaneous

after the movement. The exception is if the attacker is knocked down or
put in a sustained hold, in which case the maneuver would end at that point.
While powerful, this move can also be very dangerous to the user (because
damage from all interrupts is totalled against the user at the end).

Yin Yang Strike
Prerequisites: Focus 2, Punch 2
Power Points: Tai Chi 1; Any 5
The tai chi master first absorbs the energy of an enemy's strike (even a weapon)
and then transfers that energy back to the enemy.
System: The opponent rolls damage against the tai chi master as normal. Before this damage is applied, the tai chi master then rolls the effect of this maneuver (Dexterity+Focus) which can be used against any one single-hit attack or single-hit from an attack (except grab/ranged/reach
attacks) during that round. The tai chi master gets a +1 for every hex the enemy moved to attack. Every success rolled reduces the damage that the tai chi master takes from the attack and is also applied as damage to the attacker (unless the damage you take after your roll is still enough to Dizzy you). If no successes are rolled, the tai chi master takes one additional point of damage from the attack (or a total of 2 additional points if Botched). If the opponent does no damage, the tai chi master still makes his roll and gets 1 additional success, the opponent having made it easier for his energy to be used against him.
Note: Taijitu maneuvers don't work against Knockdown attacks (because you
are knocked down) or Grab maneuvers. See Taijitu Strike for a detailed example of use of Taijitu maneuvers.

Taijitu Projection
Prerequisites: Focus 5, Taijitu Strike
Power Points: Tai Chi 2; Any 4
Your mastery is such that you can use Taijitu Strikes against Chi projectiles and reach attacks by melee weapons or Extendible Limbs. This doesn't help against physical projectiles.
System: Whenever you play Taijitu Strike or Taijitu Zen and are attacked by Chi projectiles and reach attacks by melee weapons, you may use the maneuver as normal. However, you have a range of Wits+Focus for the purpose of damaging an opponent.
Note: Taijitu maneuvers don't work against Knockdown or Grab attacks.
Taijitu Strike
Prerequisites: Focus 4, Punch 4, Taijitu Punch
Power Points: Tai Chi 4; Any 6
The advanced version of the Taijitu Punch. This is taking the sum of all the opponent's energy and using it against him. In this advanced stage of training, the student is taught to
System: As Taijitu Punch; however, the tai chi master rolls Wits+Focus for the effect.
Example: A foe attacks you with a a Double-Hit Kick, moving one hex to reach you. You interrupt with Taijitu Strike on 6 since your Dexterity is 4. The foe hits you for 7 damage on the first hit which can Dizzy you (Stamina 4). You then roll Wits+Focus +1 (for the Kick damage) and +1 for the hex the opponent moved minus the foe's Stamina. You get 4 successes. You only actually take 1 damage from the opponent's attack (5-4) and deal 4 damage to the foe. The foe then gets his second damage test on you without contest. If you had dizzied the foe with your Strike, he would not have gotten the second damage test. Likewise if his 1st hit had still dizzied you after your Strike roll (you rolled 1 success), then none of your roll is actually applied.
Notes: The tai chi fighter should only spend Will for successes on the Strike and not to Soak the opponent's strike. If the foe spends Will to Soak, it only reduces damage taken from the Strike and doesn't reduce the amount it decrease the damage reducing property of the Strike roll.
Note: Taijitu maneuvers don't work against Knockdown or Grab attacks.

the enemy is knocked back a hex. (If 5 damage is done to the victim, they
are knocked back 5 hexes.) Knock back is half if the defender is Blocking

on the original attacker). The new blast is hyper-accelerated and does
the damage of the original attack plus the reflector's Focus rating.
After performing
the Double Return, the character is not considered blocking with any maneuver
for the rest of the round, but still gains the +2 speed Block bonus from
performing the Double Return.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: +1
Damage: Damage
of the original attack plus Focus
Move: None
Energy Absorption
Prerequisites:
Energy Reflection
Power Points:
AC 1; Ankoku 2
The fighter catches
the energy and absorbs the power.
System: Two
successes are required on a Wits roll. Either the Chi of the attack may
be added to the character's Chi (current, not permanent, and not above
10), or the damage bonus of the attack may be added as dice to the character's
next Focus attack (as long as on the next round). This doesn't work on
combination Physical/Focus attacks. In the case of multiple projectiles,
a roll must be made for each projectile, and the first projectile that
connects ends this power. All projectiles must be absorbed to absorb the
attack's full Chi.
Cost: None
Speed: +1
Damage: -
Move: None
Group Fighting
Prerequisites:
Block 3, Athletics 3
Power Points:
Variable
If there's one thing
the Street Fighter system recreates poorly is the ability of a fighter
to take on multiple opponents. Some fighters can, some can't. I've written
this for those who can. In the movies (noting martial arts movies which
is the genre Street Fighter falls into), we see it all the time. With this
maneuver (training), a fighter can fight an opponent and Block others.
Since Blocking is a combination of pushing aside blows and ducking and
weaving, it can be used with almost any maneuver.
System: For
every PP put into this maneuver (up to four), an opponent the fighter is
not attacking (or tried to attack) may be Blocked. The character's Blocking
soak is reduced by One when used with this Maneuver. This card is played
with Any other card with a few exceptions (although the effect is halved
if played with a sustained hold, only +1 Speed and half the Block tech.
- round down). This Block gives no Speed bonus to the next round. Playing Group Fighting decreases the Speed bonus from Combos by One (2nd and 3rd turn) unless you specify G.F. in the Combo.
Advanced: This costs
an increasing number of Power Points for blocking more than four attackers.
(2 PP for the 5th, 3 PP for the 6th, 4 PP for the 7th, etc.)
You cannot play moves that indiscriminately hit multiple hexes while playing Group Fighting (such as Spinning Clothesline, Shock Treatment, Power Geyser).
Group Fighting can be used with Iron Will. Substitute Iron Will for the Block technique. You can't mentally and physicall defend at the same time with Group Fighting. Iron Will's speed is based on Wits so remember that.
Cost: None
Speed: +2
(for the effect of the defense only) (-1 Speed to Combos)
Damage: None (Blocking Soak -1)
Move: -2
(modifier to the other card played, no effect if it has a Set movement)
Group Fighting, Advanced
Prerequisites:
Group Fighting
Power Points:
Two
This lets you use the appropriate defense maneuver against each attack when you have played Group Fighting (modified appropriately), such as: Block, Punch Defense, Kick Defense, Grappling Defense, or Iron Will.
Heat Defense
Prerequisites:
Block 2, Focus 3
Power Points:
Suzakuken, Shotokan, Kabaddi 1; Ankoku, Aura Combat, Shiranui, Kusanagi, LD 2; Any 3
This uses Focus
to defend against heat rather than generate it.
System: The
character adds his Block+Focus to his soak against all fire/flame/raw energy attacks (fireball, etc.). In the case of fire/physically-hitting combo moves (like Flaming Dragon Punch), use half the Focus rounded up in the previously mentioned calculation. All martial art attacks that make fire (that this defense will help against) will cost Chi.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: +2
Damage: None
Move: None
Reversal, Bash
Prerequisites:
Grab 3, Block 3
Power Points:
Aikido, Pi Gua Quan, Kazeshiken, Kusanagi, Heidern, Druken Monkey, CS, Wing Chun 2; Any 3
When you play a Reversal, you must declare the Reversal as High, Mid, or Low. If you successfully predict the opponent's move, you take the attack with your Blocking soak and make a return hit, inflicting Knockback.
System: Used as follows:
Play either a High, Mid, or Low Reversal (three cards). Not an Abort.
If you are attacked and you played the correct Reversal, soak the hit with your Blocking soak.
If you are not Guard Crushed, make a return hit (Strength+Grab), inflicting Two hexes of Knockback.
Does not give the usual +2 Speed bonus to next round as most Blocks do.
Does not work on projectiles, ranged energy attacks, or Grabs. You can only make the damage test from your hex to the maximum distance of an adjacent hex. The Soak and counterhits of Reversals and Counters do not apply against ranged or reach attacks with the exception of Extendible Limbs. You cannot employ Maka Wara when playing a Reversal or Counter.
The Reversals and the maneuves that they counter are:
High: Aerial and Overhead attacks.
Mid: All other non-Aerial non-crouching attacks.
Low: Crouching.
Cost: None
Speed: +4
Dam: +2
Move: None
Reversal, Slam (a.k.a. Counter)
Prerequisites: Block 4, Grab 4, A Grab Maneuver that causes Knock Down
Power Points: Aikido, CS, Wing Chun 3; Any 4
System: As Reversal, but you Knock Down the opponent.
Choose Counter height (High, Mid, Low). Interrupt opponent
attacking you. Opponent makes attack against your blocking soak. If not
Guard Crushed and if the opponent is adjacent or in your hex, you may
then make damage test back.
Not an Abort.
When played, specify which Counter you are playing:
High: Aerial and Overhead attacks.
Mid: All other non-Aerial non-crouching attacks.
Low: Crouching.
Cost: None
Speed: +4
Dam: +2
Move: None
Iron Will
Prerequisites:
Focus 3
Power Points:
Kabaddi, Aura Combat, Ler Dritt, Psychic Kung Fu 1; Any 2
Through extreme
training, the character can harden his mind against outside influences
and face great horrors.
System: Add
Focus Technique to Mental Soaks, resistance rolls made with Willpower,
or to the difficulty of others trying to perform acts against your Willpower
(where Willpower + Focus would equal the difficulty - may not raise difficulty
above 10).
Cost: None
Speed: Wits+4
Damage: None
Move: None
Moving Block
Prerequisites:
Block 2, Athletics 3
Power Points:
Any 2
Raising arms to
defend, the fighter weathers attacks against him and proceeds to advance.
System: Not an Abort maneuver. Slowly move while blocking. The block part works as a normal block. The move part
of the maneuver takes place at Speed -3. Every two athletics past 3 dots
provides an extra hex of movement (two hexes at Athletics 5, etc.). Counts as the Basic Block for purposes of use in Combos.
Cost: None
Speed: +4/-3
Damage: None
Move: One
(Special)
San He Advanced
Prerequisites:
San He, Focus 3
Power Points:
Aura Combat, Any 1
The fighter draws
Chi from the ground and roots himself to it.
System: Identical
to San He, except the fighter cannot be thrown or knocked down by Grabs
as he becomes one with the Chi from whatever surface he stands on. Grabs
that do damage from knocking down cannot hurt the fighter (because he can't
be knocked down or lifted), this includes (for example) Suplex, Piledriver,
and Backbreaker.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: +2
Damage: None
Move: None
Reversal: Kick
Prerequisites: Reversal (Bash or Slam)
Power Points: Any 1 PP
System: Calculate your Reversal and Counter damage with Str+Kick instead of Str+Grab.
Cost: None
Reversal: Punch
Prerequisites: Reversal (Bash or Slam)
Power Points: Any 1 PP
System: Calculate your Reversal and Counter damage with Str+Punch instead of Str+Grab.

Arm
Bar Strike
Prerequisites:
Grab 2, Elbow Smash
Power Points:
Kopo-ken 2; Any style/fighter willing to inflict this cruel blow 3
Grabbing the enemy
by the arm, spin them around so you're facing their back and land an elbow
smash into a vital nerve or elbow.
System: This
move uses Punch for damage. If damage is dealt, the enemy's punch technique
is -2 for this and the next turn. This reduces damage and makes them unable
to perform a punch maneuver if their punch technique isn't currently high
enough.
As an option, one
hex may be moved before this strike and the other afterwards as the fighter
spins around and out of the victim's hex. (This is how the move is preferably
performed.)
Cost: None
Speed: -2
Damage: +3
Move: Two
Arm
Snap
Prerequisites:
Grab 3, Kick 1
Power Points:
CS 2; Any Wrestling but Sumo, Special Forces 3
The fighter kicks
the enemy's legs out from beneath and falls upon them, wrapping both legs
around one arm. With a quick motion, the fighter grabs the held arm and
snaps it, dislocating it.
System: This
is a knockdown move, and an arm dislocating move. Until the arm is relocated
back into the shoulder joint, it may not be used (by the way, there is
a -2 die pool penalty for off-hand use). The constant pain gives a -1 Strength
penalty.
Relocating a limb
is a -3 Speed action, but an action may still be taken that turn (punches
will be -2 Strength that turn).
Cost: None
Speed: -2
Damage: +1
Move: One
Aura
Soul Throw
Prerequisites:
Soul Throw, Focus 5, Athletics 3
Power Points:
AC 4
The Aura-user glows
with energy and lifts her opponent into the air and hurls them to the ground.
System: This
technique works like the Soul Throw, only the Aura-user can also grab an
opponent off the ground and throw them while airborne in addition to throwing
airborne opponents.
The speed is -1
if grabbing an opponent from the ground. Only Two hexes may be traveled
along the ground, the rest of the movement must be aerial.
The opponent is
thrown as per the Throw maneuver while the Aura-User is airborne.
Cost: 1 Chi,
1 Will
Speed: +1
(Special -1)
Dam: +6
Move: +0
(Special Two)
Back
Breaker (Revised)
Prerequisites:
Grab 3, Kick 1
Power Points:
Boxing 1, Sambo, NA Wrestling, Special Forces, Kopo-ken, CS 2
Reason for Revision:
I've realized that Back Breaker is a move exclusive to Boxing, Sambo, and
N.A. Wrestling that is inferior to the Suplex which can be learned easier,
more cheaply, and is available to everyone. Thus, I feel this move deserves
a special effect. It's otherwise unchanged.
Description: The
enemy is grabbed and bent backwards over one knee with a forceful crush.
The pain is great and takes some time to fade.
System: Aside
from being a knockdown move, the victim is -2 to Strength on the next turn.
Cost: None
Speed: -1
Damage: +3
Move: One
Clutch Roll
"Shermie Whip"
Prerequisites:
Grab 3, Athletics 2
Power Points:
Martial Dance 2; Any Wrestling but Sumo 3
The fighter rolls
backwards, catching the opponent with the legs. The opponent is the lifted
as the fighter rolls and suplexes the victim.
System: This
move is usually played only as an interrupt on an attack. This maneuver
grabs a victim from an ajacent hex. Once grabbed, the fighter moves one
hex back and plants the victim in an adjacent hex as per Suplex. The opponent
suffers a Knockdown. If this move is not played as an interrupt (counter)
on an attack on the fighter, the Speed is +0. This attack may be Blocked.
Cost: 1 Will
Speed: +2
Damage: +2
Move: One
(after the grab)
Chest Blast "Hakkei"
Prerequisites: Grab 1, Focus 3
Power Points: Psychic Kung Fu 2
The fighter grabs the opponent, places a hand on the chest, and unleashes an energy blast.
System: You must enter the opponent's hex (as with most Grabs).
This knocks down. Place the enemy in the adjacent hex ahead of the fighter
(along the fighter's path of movement). Calculate damage with Int+Focus.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: +0
Damage: +4
Move: One
Decide
Prerequisites:
Focus 4, Grab 3
Power Points:
Orochi, Snake Style KF, 5
The Orochi
reaches out with an that supernaturally extends and grabs the victim. The
Orochi's arm then suddenly retracts, flinging the opponent through the
air in the opposite direction.
System: The
Orochi stands in place while performing this move. The range of the grab
is the Orochi's Focus in hexes. The opponent is Thrown an equal number
of hexes behind the Orochi (up to the Orochi's Focus). So if the enemy
starts three hexes in front of the Orochi who has a Focus of four, the
victim is pulled to the Orochi after being grabbed and may be flung up
to four hexes behind the Orochi.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: +0
Damage: +3
Move: None
Explosive Slam (Moon
Negative)
Prerequisite:
Athletics 3, Grab 3, Focus 3
Power Points: Ankoku, Kusanagi, Orochi 5
The fighter dashes
forward, slams his opponent into the ground by his head or chest, and focuses
Chi to create a devastating explosion.
System: This
is a knock down maneuver and a Limited Turn maneuver. The blast bounces
the victim into the next adjacent hex (along the attack's path). Damage
from this grab is calculated by Intelligence + Focus.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: -1
Damage: +5
Move: +0
Face Slap
Prerequisites:
Grab 2, Punch 1, Slap
Power Points:
MD 1; Any 2
The dancer grabs
her foe and proceeds to slap him silly.
System: This
is a sustained grab which damages based on Punch.
Cost: None
Speed: +1
Damage: +0
Move: One
Flying Axle Toss
Prerequisites:
Athletics 3, Grab 3, Jump, Thigh Press
Power Points:
Martial Dance 1; Wu Shu, Mugen Tenshin Ninjitsu 2
The fighter
runs up the opponent and leaps above the victim. While falling, the fighter
catches the foe's neck between the thighs and spins about to finally release
and toss the victim into the distance.
System: The
opponent suffers a knockdown and is thrown a number hexes equal to the
attacker's Athletics in any direction. Damage is calculated with Strength
+ Athletics.
Cost: 1 Will
Speed: +0
Damage: +4
Move: One
Godpress
(Heaven's
Gate)
Prerequisites:
Explosive Slam, Athletics 4, Focus 4
Power Points:
Orochi 2; Ankoku 3
This is a modification
to the Explosive Slam.
The explosion appears
much different: A column of light, rising towards the sky and consuming
the enemy.
System: Grab. Knockdown. The blast bounces the victim into the hex in front of you. Damage
from this grab is calculated by Intelligence + Focus. When the opponent is grabbed, the attacker may continue to move his full move, carrying the enemy with him before executing the damage test. Not Limited Turn.
Cost: 1 Will,
1 Chi
Speed: -1
Damage: +6
Move: +2
Gorefest
Prerequisites:
Throw, Athletics 3, Grab 4
Power Points:
Orochi 2; Any 4
Grabbing her victim,
the fighter then dashes forward, dragging the enemy across the ground sadistically
before throwing them from a running start.
System: Having
successfully grabbed, the fighter then moves her Athletics in hexes with
the enemy and throws the opponent as per the throw maneuver. This is a
Juggle move. Make a damage test of Strength + Hexes Moved (dragging damage) then throw
the opponent for the maneuver damage. Dragging damage doesn't combine with anything for Dizzy.
Cost: 1 Will
Speed: -1
Damage: +5
Move: One
Group Taijitu Throw
Prerequisites: Focus 2, Taijitu Throw
Power Points: Tai Chi 3; Any 5
Taking the defensive, the tai chi master prepares to use the energy of all opponents who dare to approach in such a way that they defeat themselves.
System: Anyone hitting you (exception of ranged/reach attacks) may be thrown a number of hexes from your hex equal to the hexes they moved as part of their attack (minimum One if they moved none). Roll Dex+Focus vs. appropriate Dex+Technique rolls by each opponent. The opponent must roll higher to not be thrown. The attacker must be in an adjacent hex or in the same hex to be grabbed and thrown. The opponent must throw an attack in order to be thrown by this. Grabs may be countered by this as well; however, an additional Will must be spent to attempt to counter a Grab that requires Will.
Cost: 1 Chi, 1 Will
Speed: +2
Damage: +0
Move: None
Group Throw
Prerequisites:
Grab 4, Throw
Power Points:
Aikido 3, Judo 4 (well, Jiu Jitsu)
Taking the defensive,
the thrower prepares to toss anyone who should dare to approach.
System: Anyone
hitting the martial artist may be thrown. Roll Dex+Grab vs. appropriate Dex+Technique
rolls by each opponent. The opponent must roll higher to not be thrown.
The attacker must be in an adjacent hex or in the same hex to be grabbed
and thrown. The opponent must throw an attack in order to be thrown by
this. Grabs may be countered by this as well; however, an additional Will must be spent
to attempt to counter a Grab that requires Will.
Cost: 1 Will
Speed: +2
Damage: +0

Half-Hour Suplex (Contributed by SUR)
Prerequisites: Suplex, Grab 3
Power Points: Sambo, NA Wrestling, Wrestling 3; CS 4
Adding onto the basics of a suplex, some fighters delay crashing their victims to the ground, giving their foes time to think about how much it is going to hurt. Being held inverted also makes the blood rush to the victim’s head making his head spin and increasing the odds of a Dizzy.
System: This is a modification of a classic vertical suplex, but instead of inflicting damage immediately, the attacker holds the victim for one or more rounds, as per sustained hold. For each round that the suplex is held and the damage delayed, an additional number of dice equal to the attacker's grab are added to the damage pool. If the victim defeats the attacker in the breakout roll, he escapes the hold with no damage inflicted.
Cost: None
Speed: +0
Damage: +2 (+Grab Technique per Round held)
Move: One
Head Buster
Prerequisite:
Grab 4
Power Points:
NA Wrestling, Sambo, Sumo, Special Forces, Ninja KB 2; Any 3
This move for use
against multiple attackers is performed by grabbing two opponents' heads
and slamming them together.
System: The
two opponents must both be in hexes adjacent to the attacker and not more
than one hex apart. Damage must be inflicted on both opponents for any
damage to be inflicted at all. If no damage is inflicted, they manage to
slip loose. Only one to-hit roll is required if abstract combat is being
used. This causes a knockdown when damage is inflicted.
Cost: 1 Will
Speed: +1
Damage: +5
Move: One
Head Twist
Prerequisite:
Jump, Thigh Press, Grab 4, Athletics 3
Power Points:
Heidern, MD, Special Forces 3; Bushin, Shadow, Yomi Ninjitsu 4; Kung Fu 5
This is an attack
that some actually dream about being grabbed by. The attacker hops up on
the shoulders of her opponent, wrapping her legs around the victim's head.
She then sets herself into a deadly spin, bringing down the opponent in
a deadly neck twisting spiral. There are variations on this, such as Cammy's
head-twisting handstand.
System: If
this inflicts damage, the opponent is knocked down, if this fails to do
damage, the attacker is knocked down into the opponent's adjacent hex of
choice. This isn't a jumping attack.
Cost: 1 Will
Speed: +0
Damage: +5
Move: One
Hindenburger Piledriver
Prerequisites: Piledriver, Jump, Grab 4, Athletics 4, Focus 3
Power Points: Sambo, NA Wrestling, Wrestling 3; CS 4
Much like the Spinning Piledriver; however once airborne, the combatants stay airborne as they spin faster and faster. Finally when one expects them to stay there forever, they come crashing down unleashing all of the built-up energy.
System: Damage can be applied immediately or delayed. If the attacker holds the victim for one or more rounds as a Sustained Hold (while airborne), this Piledriver adds a number of damage tests equal to the number of rounds the Piledriver was held. If the victim defeats the attacker in the Breakout roll, he escapes the hold with no damage inflicted, expect for the likely Fall damage - though the initater of the hold lands without problem. These tests do not automatically combine to dizzy, but they do when part of a Dizzy Combo.
This maneuver initially takes the combatants to a height of 4 feet for every dot of Athletics. For every round this is held, the height is increased by the same amount.
The damage of the Megadriver (+5) is used if the wrestler has that maneuver. Also, because this maneuver uses Chi - if the fighter has a particularly energy that is his signature, this maneuver will prominently create that energy as it spins like a dynamo in midair.
Chi is only spent once the grab has been made and the fighter decides to maintain the hold.
Example: The Iron Sheik grabs Nameless Victim. He decides to delay the attack so the damage rolled is not applied and he spends 1 Chi. Nameless Victim does not make the break-out roll. During the 2nd round, the Iron Sheik decides to apply damage. Because Iron Sheik delayed the attack for one round he adds one additional damage test so he now makes two full damage tests as if Nameless Victim had been hit by two piledrivers (the original roll to hit is now considered a to-hit roll and has no bearing on damage). If Nameless Victim had escaped from the hold, he would have taken no damage from the attack; however, he would have been subjected to a 32 foot fall (Iron Sheik has an Athletics of 4, multiplied by 4 feet, and the height was increased when the damage was delayed).
Cost: 1 Chi (Optional)
Speed: -2
Damage: +4 (Times the number of rounds held)
Move: One
Hook Buster
Prerequisites: Punch 2, Grab 2
Power Points: Boxing, KB 1; Any 2

Hooligan Roll (also Talon Snatch)
Prerequisites:
Thigh Press, Athl 3, Jump
Power Points:
NA Wrestling, Special Forces, Suzakuken 2
This is a Thigh
Press performed from a jump. Leaping up and then coming nearly straight
down, the attacker strikes the prey and drags it down.
System: See
Thigh Press. This is a jumping attack. The victim lands in the hex that
would be used in the case of being knocked back by one hex.
Cost: None
Speed: -1
Damage: +4

Joint Lock (Arm/Wrist) (N&S/SF Dojo)
Prerequisites:
Grab 3
Power Points:
Special Forces, CS, Any Karate, Any KF, Any NJ, Aikido, Jiu
Jitsu, Lua, Silat, Tai Chi, Baraq, Hwarang Do, Kopo-ken 3; Any 4
Description:
The martial arts bends the limb of the victim, putting them in a painful
joint lock. It doesn't do much damage, but breaking out is a dangerous
experience, wrenching the joint in ways it was not meant to go. I suppose
this move could also represent leg/ankle locks where the victim is not
knocked down (and the reverse goes for the Leg/Ankle Joint Lock).
System: Sustained
Hold. For each break out roll the victim fails, the victim held suffers
damage equal to the difference of the break out roll, unless the victim
has Disengage. If the hand holding a weapon is locked, the weapon may be
disarmed automatically.
The attacker gains
1 Die to help maintain the hold unless the defender has Disengage. The
defender may negate that die by automatically accepting 1 Health Level
of damage; however, the character either dislocates his arm or breaks his
wrist if the break out roll is botched. A character cannot punch with an
arm with a broken wrist (may use the few maneuvers of the Punch technique
that don't use the fist). There is a -2 Speed/Damage penalty for off-hand
use (except in maneuvers that specify use of both hands).
On following turns,
the attacker may choose to use Kick for damage rather than Grab (strike
with knee if using an arm lock or with a regular kick for wrist locks).
Cost: None
Speed: +0
Damage: -1
(first turn), -3 following turns
Move: One
Joint
Lock (Leg/Ankle) (N&S/SF Dojo)
Prerequisites:
Grab 3
Power Points:
Special Forces, Jiu Jitsu, Lua, Baraq, Sambo, Commando Sambo, Any other
Wrestling, Pankration, Kopo-ken 2; Any 3
Description:
The fighter takes down the victim and puts him in the lock.
System: Sustained
Hold. Both fighters knocked down. For each break out roll the victim fails,
the victim held suffers damage equal to the difference of the break out
roll, unless the victim has Disengage. The attacker gains 1 Die to help
maintain the hold unless the defender has Disengage. The defender may negate
that die by automatically accepting 1 Health Level of damage; however,
the character dislocates a leg if the roll is botched (-2 Movement and
-3 Kick damage unless the character accepts a knockdown from doing the
Kick maneuver). Also, a Move maneuver is -3 Speed and -2 Move with a dislocated
leg.
Cost: None
Speed: -2
Damage: +0,
-1 following turns
Move: One
Use of Existing Moves: Catching an opponent's attack would be a Reversal. For any hold where you punch or kick the victim, you can use Brain Cracker or Knee Basher. You could call the Knee Basher a leg lock done while standing that knocks down the victim (they just won't take out break-out damage).
Joint
Break (N&S/SF Dojo/New)
Prerequisites:
Grab 4, A Joint Lock
Power Points:
Special Forces, Pankration, Lua, Commando Sambo, Kopo-ken 2; Any 3
Description:
The fighter breaks the joint of the limb being held. This is highly
dishonorable.
System: This
must be performed from a Joint Lock currently Sustained. A contested roll
is made (use the Break Out roll rules). If the attacker rolls higher than
the defender, the defender's limb is broken and useless until healed (see
Paralyzed limbs for effect). The attacker loses -1 Permanent Honor if in
a tournament (any) and -2 Glory (unless specifically a Duellist tournament
in which case +1 Glory). Outside tournaments, Honor loss is less depending
on the situation (between minus none and -3). Note that if the defender
rolls higher, he gets free of the hold.
Cost: None
Speed: -2
(not that this Speed matters to the defender who is in a Sust. Hold)
Damage: +0
Move: None

The enemy is hefted
into the air, inverted, and promptly slammed back into the ground. Few
hit by this will rise again. It is an advanced move used by grappling fighters
such as Clark Steel.
System: The

Power Flip
Prerequisites:
Grab 3, Athletics 2, Throw
Power Points: Kagura, Kanzuki, Tai Chi, Aikido 3; Kung Fu 4; Any 5
Twisting the opponent's
arm in a 360 degree rotation, the enemy is flipped onto their back (spun
into the air and hurled into the ground with the momentum).
System: This
can be executed as a normal grab or directly from a sustained hold (onto
the person being held in the sustained hold) and knocks down the victim.
This will break the sustained hold, of course, but only after it has been
done.
Cost: None
Speed: -1
Damage: +5
Move: One
Power Smash
Prerequisite:
Throw, Grab 4
Power Points:
Orochi, NA Wrestling, Sambo, Sumo 3
This is an attack
of the truly enraged berserker. The opponent's arm is grabbed, and then
the opponent is lifted and smashed into the ground into an adjacent hex.
On the next turn, the opponent is then lifted and hurled onto the ground
into the opposite adjacent hex. This can continue until the attacker loses
strength (# turns = Grab technique), or the opponent breaks free.
System: This
is a sustained throw. The opponent is knocked down after the hold is broken.
If the victim is smashed into an occupied hex, damage is dealt as throwing
one opponent into another and may knock down that victim too (see House
Rules on Throwing one person into another but roll attacker's Strength
vs. the defender to determine Knockdown).
At any time from the Power Smash, you may choose to play the Throw maneuver on the held foe instead of making another damage test.
Cost: 1 Will
Speed: -1
Damage: +5
Move: One
Power Stomp
Prerequisites:
Grab 2, Kick 2
Power Points:
Any 3 (would be 2 PP in a style)

the hold. The victim is Knocked Down. Use Kick + Strength for damage. May
result in honor loss for user, glory loss for victim, very humiliating
maneuver.
Cost: None
Speed: -1
Damage: +4
Move: One
Rushing Slam
Prerequisite:
Athletics 3, Grab 3, Jump
Power Points:
Orochi 4; MD 5
The fighter leaps
into a run, grabbing the victim by the shoulders and raising one knee level
to the victim's head. Transferring this force to downward momentum, she
slams the victim to the ground and leaps off.
System: This
is a knock down maneuver and a straight-line maneuver. Damage is calculated
by Athletics. If successful, the attacker hops into the next hex along
the attack's line.
This move is terminated
instantly (attacker's turn ends in current hex) if the target interrupts
the attacker and inflicts damage equal to the attacker's Stamina minus
one.

Power Points:
AC, Ankoku 2

and swings (using the neck like a pole) around. Upon landing, the attacker
flings the opponent forwards.
Altnerate Spine
Snapper Version: The attacker hooks the victim's neck, dragging him
to the ground, bending the victim backwards so that the back of his head
touches his heels. Attacks like these have been known to snap victims'
necks or spines like twigs.
System: Jump
into the target's hex. Execute grab maneuver. This causes a knockdown if
damage is inflicted. Attacker lands in one of three hexes behind the victim
and may toss the victim into an adjacent hex (may only relocate the victim
if the original version of this move is declared when learning). If no
damage is inflicted, the target picks the attacker's landing hex.
Cost: 2 Will
Speed: +0
Damage: +5
Move: Two
Taijitu Throw
Prerequisites: Focus 1, Grab 4, Throw
Power Points: Tai Chi 1; Any 3
The tai chi master hurls an opponent along the flow of their own attack.

Cost: None (or 1 Will)
Speed: +2
Damage: +0
Move: One
Technical Grapple
Prerequisites: Grab 4
Power Points: Any 1
For the grappler that emphasizes skill more than strength. Good for making that prowrestling fangirl with Strength 2 and Grab 5 threatening.
System: You can substitute your Grab Technique for Strength when rolling to maintain and escape from holds.
With a Grab of 5, Technical Grapple permits the following ability:
Instead of making a damage test during a Sustained Hold, you can switch over to a different Hold or Grab maneuver from your current Sustained Hold.
This allows an immediate extra break-out test based on your current Sustained Hold. If your maintain hold roll is successful, you have either put them in the new Sustained Hold (which takes effect next round) or may immediately perform the non-hold Grab maneuver you had selected. At no time does the opponent held lose their break-out roll between rounds (unless Dizzied or Hit Stunned).
Throat Stomp
Prerequisites: Grab 3, Kick 3, Throw
Power Points: Any KF 3
The enemy is tossed onto the ground, and a quick stomp is delivered to the downed opponent's throat (or chest).
System: The opponent suffers a knockdown. Damage is based on Kick. Defender and Attacker end turn in same hex. The victim is also -2 Strength for the next turn due to trouble breathing.
Cost: None
Speed: -1
Damage: +3
Move: One
Trapping Leg
Prerequisites: Technical Grapple, Kick 3
Power Points: Wing Chun 5
The strategy of Wing Chun is to keep your enemy close, in prime range of its punches. In short, this is the essence of that strategy distilled into a maneuver. By interlacing your legs with that of your opponent, you severely limit their options.
Also known as the ancient art of "you go nowhere and I punch you in the face."
System: This Kick does no damage, but damage is rolled to determine success. Although also a Grab, you only need to be adjacent to use it. A minimum of one success is necessary. If successful, this card remains in
play. And you may play other cards. This card expires after turns equal
to your Grab technique, when your foe makes a break out roll, or after you
play a Kick, Aerial maneuver, or Move away (anything other than Moving into your foe's hex unless in response to foe's movement as below). On the round the card is
played, you may use your Blocking soak against punches from the targeted
opponent (unless your attack is interrupted). You cannot Abort to another maneuver during a round in which you have this card in play and have made a roll with one of its effects.
There is no between round break out roll. Opponent may play card while held by the Trapping Leg.
An opponent must make a break out roll in order to kick at the time of the kick. Opponent rolls Kick technique against your Grab technique. If
the opponent does not break out, the opponent's maneuver is cancelled. (Repeat process for foe usage of an Aerial maneuver but substitute Athletics.)
If the opponent moves without going Aerial (not necessarily the Movement card), roll your Grab against their Athletics technique. If they do not break out, you
may move one hex for every hex that they move up to your Athletics (you
can move up to your Movement to chase and maintain the Trapping Leg but you forfeit any other action that round).
Note that if you or the opponent is knocked down, the Trapping Leg expires (but your foe voluntarily Crouching or taking a knock down counts as them trying to Move).
Any movement made as reaction during this maneuver is in addition to and separate (do not combine) from the card you played during that round (since the effects of this card are automatic while being maintained).
Cost: 1 Will
Speed: +1
Damage: +0 (no actual damage inflicted)
Move: -1 (Special after the first turn)

Power Points:
Strolheim, Kyokugen-Ryuu, Any Wrestling but Sumo 2

Jump, Athletics 4
Power Points:
Kagura-Style Ancient Martial Arts 1; Any 2
Taking a split second
to flex trained leg muscles, the fighter leaps through the air with incredible
speed and clearing incredible distance.
System: This
acts as a normal Jump, except for the modified Speed and Move. It can be
played with any basic punch or kick maneuver. It will not take the fighter
higher than his Athletics x3 feet unless jumping vertically (i.e. this
takes you only as high as an equivalent normal Jump although the distance
is greater). This interchangeable with the regular Jump in Combos.
Cost: None
Speed: +1
Damage: None
Move: +2
Battle Storm
Prerequisites:
Punch/Kick Strike, Athletics 4, Punch 3, Kick 3
Power Points:
Shaolin Kung Fu 2
The Shaolin
fighter becomes a whirlwind of fury, lashing out with multiple punches
and kicks against a crowd of foes. This is only taught by Shaolin monks.
System: The
fighter may perform a combination of three Basic Punches and Kicks modified
by this maneuver's modifiers. The three strikes are used against different
opponents and are all performed after this maneuver's movement phase. The combination cannot be all Punches or all Kicks. Two of
the attacks may be done at one opponent, but not all three. Perform the attacks in order of highest speed to lowest. It is possible that as the attacks are performed you can be interuppted (i.e. you do a jab and then a slow fierce which can be interuppted).

Boulder Charge "Football
Charge"
Prerequisites:
Athletics 4, Shoulder Charge
Power Points:
Special Forces, Sumo 3; Any 5
The combatant charges
forward, tossing aside someone who gets in his way.
System: An
opponent not Blocking is Knocked Down. This maneuver has a Limited Turn.
While performing this maneuver, the attacker is considered to be Blocking
(has his guard up). This attack may strike one (and only one person), but
the attacker may continue moving the full Move after the assault. Due to
the Blocking properties, the attacker will often tend to "not interrupt"
an opponent's attack, he can choose to "not interrupt" any number of attacks
declared against him while performing this maneuver. This maneuver does
not give the fighter protection against attacks from directly behind.
This attack is not
completely protected from Knockdown attacks. Sweeps and other knockdown
attacks will knock the fighter down; however, he has a chance to simultaneously
pay back the attacker with the attack (i.e. it will trade-up hits). This
gives no protection against Grab.
Cost: 1 Will
Speed: +0
Damage: +2

straight up, the fighter can come down directly upon the shoulders of his
prey. This leap carries the fighter four feet into the air for every dot
of Athletics.
System: This
is a Jumping attack and can be used to avoid certain attacks like a jump.
This inflicts a knockdown on the prey if it suffers damage, but the attacker

Okizeme
(Striking a downed enemy)
Prerequisites:
Athletics 3
Power Points:
Any 2
On an enemy who
has been knocked down, the fighter inflicts a punch, kick, or body drop.
Although the description changes from fighter to fighter, the basic premise
remains the same (i.e., this is an athletics move using this move's numbers
no matter the description).
There is disagreement
among fighters as to whether or not Okizeme is honorable. It is dishonorable for any fighter with more than 6 Honor to use this attack. The penalty is -1 temporary Honor which might only apply in tournaments.

War
Cyclone
Prerequisites:
Battle Storm, Jump, Athletics 5, Punch 4, Kick 4
Power Points:
Shaolin Kung Fu 3
The Shaolin
master seems to become war incarnate as he strikes faster than the eye
can follow. With perhaps even a few monks having mastered this technique,
there is no wonder that the Shaolin monks of ancient time were so feared.
System: The
fighter may perform a combination of five Basic Punches and Kicks modified
by this maneuver's modifiers. The five strikes are used against different

and the blurred trailing afterimage of where the attacker used to be.
System: The
fighter must travel along a straight path (i.e., no major turns). Damage
is dealt with Athletics because this IS an Athletics move, despite the
Chi cost.

Aura Excitation
Prerequisites:
Focus 5
Power Points:
AC, Ler Drit, Tien-Hsueh, 3; Any 5
With mind over matter,
one can make the human body move faster than is normally possible. The
Aura-User glows faintly and suddenly moves with lightning speed. For a
brief moment, the world around the Aura-User seems to be moving very slowly.

card is played with a move not requiring Focus, Chi, or Willpower. That
move gains a +2 bonus to speed on the turn it is played.
If not used on a Basic Maneuver, Aura Excitation requires you spend Chi equal to the character's Power Point cost of the maneuver to work.
Cost: 1 Chi (or More)
Speed: +2
Damage: Based

Aura Illusion
Prerequisites:
Focus 5, Telepathy
Power Points:
AC 4
The psychic creates
multiple images of herself to confuse the enemy. All illusions will look
like and mimic the psychic.
System: The opponent you are fighting is surrounded by Illusions of you, each the same distance (either in a circle pattern or a "V" pattern. When he tries to hit you, the Storyteller rolls a die. There is a 1 in "X" chance you will be hit. If the appropriate die rolls a 1, you are hit. In some cases, the highest number on a die will need to be ignored, or a die of twice the value will need to be rolled in which case 1 or 2 will succeed. (For example: Vs 7 illusions, roll 1d8 and roll again if 8 comes up, and Vs 5 Illusions, roll 1d10 and a 1 or 2 will hit the Illusionist.)
When multiple people are fighting, reroll results that are the same as another person's roll if they are each hitting a different image.
The power ends immediately if the psychic is Dizzied or put in a Sustained Hold.
Focus equals the number of Illusions you create.
Extra Chi may be spent to add extra illusions (requires an action if not done when originally creating the illusion. 1 Chi equals more Illusions equal to half your Focus (round down).
Duration is equal to your Wits divided by two (round down), not counting the round on which the power is activated.
Extra Chi may be spent to sustain the Aura Illusion. Doing so does not require the character's action for that round to be forfeited. (It must be done immediately following the expiration round or the illusions vanish at the end of their last turn).
Cost: 1 Chi, +1 per 2 additional (Focus/2), +1 Chi to sustain for (Wits/2) rounds
Speed: +1
Damage: None

The fighter can
sense people around and will detect those about to attack who are nearby
(Focus + Perception in hexes) with this sixth-sense. The presence of those
around will constantly be felt. You have a minor empathy with living things.
This power is based more in sensing living energy and emotions, but occasionally
the emotion of a non-living object may be felt. Note that this power doesn't
evaluate the nature of where the signal originates.
Having this power
lowers the difficulty of all Blind Fighting rolls involving sentient beings
by one. Spending a point of Chi lowers the difficulty of Insight(Empathy)/Subterfuge
rolls by one for one scene (or about 10 rounds) in regards to prediction
(easier know someone's intentions if you can sense their feelings).
System: The
fighter can roll Perception + Focus to sense people sneaking up on
him (in addition to a non-paranormal Perception + Alertness roll if allowed).
This is contested against the opponent's Stealth + Manipulation (how
well they control their appearance to others - calmness). The Storyteller
can roll this secretly so as not to alert the player.
Note: Purchasing
Sixth Sense (replaces Sakki) is 1 PP cheaper if the character has Awakening Sixth.
Blinding Flash
Prerequisites:
Focus 4
Power Points:
The cost of Fireball for the fighter's style. Buying Flash Strike after buying this maneuver (or the reverse) discounts the price by 1 PP.
The fighter creates a bright flash of light that can temporarily blind an opponent.
System: You must beat the defender by rolling your Int+Focus+2 against his Wits+Blindfighting. If successful, the defender is blinded for the remainder of the current round (and doesn't get a second Blindfighting roll). However, attacking someone who hasn't Moved since the defender last had sight only has a Difficulty of 8 rather than 10.
The defender can see next round but starts with -2 Speed unless he can beat the attack's Successes with a Perception+Blindfighting roll (made between rounds).
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: +2
Damage: None
Move: None
Chi Mirror (Dark Barrier)
Prerequisites:
Focus 4
Power Points:
AC, Other psychic styles 4
A shield of Chi
is formed in front of the fighter which will damage those running into
it and reflect Chi projectiles.
System: The
Chi Barrier remains for the entire turn. Any Chi projectiles bounce off
of the fighter, and anyone striking the fighter takes one hit from the damage of this attack (simultaneous damage) and are knocked back one hex. Chi projectiles
that bounce off the barrier may be redirected if the fighter possesses
Energy Reflection. The barrier doesn't protect the fighter's one rear hex.
This may be used to target one adjacent hex as an attack (but the power fails to activate if it is botched). The Chi Mirror is canceled if it botches a damage roll when someone hits it as well.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: +0
Damage: +0
Move: None
Cosmic Waking
Prerequisites:
Focus 3
Power Points:
AC, J'hana, Kabaddi, Kagura, Psychic Kung Fu, Tai Chi 1; Ankoku, Hwarang-Do, LD 2; Any 3
You understand the
nature of the Yin/Yang and have a basic understanding of the nature of
Chi and the Universe. By concentrating, you can evaluate the state of Chi
in living and non-living things.
An Aura-User will
also be able to sense the use of Psycho-Power, the dark corruption of Aura
and Chi energy.
System: Roll
Focus + Intelligence to evaluate the Chi of something. Possible things
you may learn are the physical condition or the presence of damaged or
corrupted Chi.
By spending one
point of Chi, you gain a heightened awareness to the Chi around you, lowering
the difficulty of Blind Fighting rolls by two for one scene (or ten rounds
- storyteller's preference) due to being able to sense where all things
are. The range of this is Focus + Perception while it is centered on oneself.
Cosmic Waking as Defense
Cosmic Waking opens your perceptions to Chi and enables you to protect your Chi.
If you are not Stunned or Dizzied, you may make a resisted Focus roll to prevent the use of Leech, Final Bringer, Siphon, Essence Drain, Empty Soul Palm, Taint, or Corruption on you. If you succeed, you prevent the opponent's maneuver from being fully performed, and the opponent may take back all but one of the temporaries they would have spent on the effect (not any temporaries necessary to start the maneuver if it has such a start-up cost). Against such attacks that roll damage, you may choose to use Perception+Focus as your Soak instead of making the contested Focus roll.
Dragon's Breath (Ryugeki Ken, Iron Trigger)
Prerequisites:
Focus 4
Power Points:
Shotokan, Drunken Monkey, Hak, Kyokugen-Ryuu Karate, Psychic Kung Fu 3; Kung Fu, Wu Shu, Thai KB 4
A very short geyser
of fire is generated from the fighter's outstretched palms. Fulfills any Fireball pre-requisite.
System: The
range of this attack is one hex and an opponent struck by it is knocked
back one hex. It remains until the end of the round. Anyone attacking through the fighter's forward arc during the remainder of the round is simultaneously struck by the Dragon's Breath.
Dragon's Breath can cancel Chi projectiles from the
forward arc. The fighter with the lower Int+Focus score has his maneuver
cancelled. Both are cancelled if a tie. The maneuver is at -1 to cancel
projectiles for each projectile (damage test) previously cancelled
during the same round. It is thus possible to only partially cancel a
multi-projectile maneuver.
K' knows a version of this maneuver that is Speed: +0 but Damage: +2.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: -1
Damage: +4
Move: None
Double
Reppu Ken
Prerequisites:
Focus 4, Reppu Ken (Fireball-version)
Power Points:
Hak 3; Any style (same cost as Reppu Ken)
The fighter
hurls two swirls of energy along the ground at the enemy, developed by
Geese Howard.
System: As
per Repeating Fireball except that two and only two projectiles are thrown.
A lesser version (at -1 Speed) for -1 PP exists.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: +0
Damage: +0
(x2)
Move: None
Double
Strike
Prerequisites:
Focus 4, Ki Bolt
Power Points:
The cost of Fireball for the fighter's style.
The fighter
kicks out two bolts of energy at the enemy. An attack perfected by King.
System: As

Speed: -1
Damage: +1
(x2)
Move: None
Drunk No Mind
Prerequisites:
Focus 3
Power Points:
Drunken Monkey 5
This is THE
signature maneuver of Drunken Style Kung Fu. By drinking more and more,
the fighter becomes a more powerful fighting machine.
System: Every
drink adds a point that may be added to one area from the following list:
1. Strength, 2.
Dexterity, 3. Stamina, 4. Move, 5. Damage, 6. Speed, 7. Wits, 8. Perception, 9. Chi, 10. Will. You may not add to any of the previous more than once, but you may add each once.
It takes one round
to consume an entire beverage, but you may play cards while you do so.
Consuming a drink penalizes -1 Speed to whatever
other card(s) is played during that round. You can down multiple drinks per round, but each additional drink raises the drinking Difficulty by +1 and gives another -1 Speed to the card for the round.
When drinking, make
a Stamina or Focus roll. You need a success for it to have effect. If you fail, roll 1d10 to determine which area is temporarily at -1 for the scene. If you
botch, roll 1d10 to see which area is at -2 for the
scene. If you fail a roll when you have imbibed a number of drinks more than
your Focus, you lose
friend or foe recognition. If you botch when you've drunk more drinks than you have dots of Stamina, you're "over the limit" and you pass out. Note that "failed" drinks count towards the total.
Cost: None
Speed: See
above
Damage: See
above

Power Points:
Heidern, Aztec Blood Priest Rites 2; Any 4
The fighter
leaps into the opponent's hex, grabs them, and drains the victim's life.
System: Sustained Hold. This is an Aerial maneuver and may be used to dodge Fireballs and attack. If the attack connects (no Chi need be spent until this point), the fighter transfers one Health Level per Chi spent from the victim to himself (up to the attacker's Focus rating). The Sustained Hold is dropped preceeding any round which you do not commit to spending a minimum of 1 Chi on the effect.
Cost: 1 Will
plus Chi for Leech

(see Above)

Boxing, Kazeshiken, Thai KB 3; Any 5
By swinging a punch,
a swirl of Chi is created to form a tall traveling funnel of air.
System: Range is Focus+Wits-2 in hexes. The attacker gains two dice to his hit roll when an opponent attempts to Jump/Evade it. A version that hits twice is available as an upgrade (like Fireball) under the same rules as Double Strike and Double Fireball.

Damage: +2
Move: None
Kagerou no Mai

Move: None
Kaiser Wave
Prerequisites:
Focus 5, Improved Fireball
Power Points:
Strolheim 5
The fighter stretches
out both arms, making the form of the cross as an unseen wind ruffles his
hair and clothes. The fighter then lurches forward thrust both arms forward,
launching a destructive wave of raw energy at the enemy.
System: Range
is Focus+Wits in hexes. This inflicts a knockdown on a non-blocking opponent.
This attack may be withheld for up to two turns. The speed penalty only
applies on the first round. For each round the attack is withheld, the
attack gains +2 to damage. So, if the attack is held on the round performed
and on the following round, a Kaiser Wave doing +10 damage may be thrown
on the third round. Of course, holding an attack in the midst of combat
can be dangerous thing to do.
Cost: 2 Chi
Speed: -2
Damage: +6
Move: None
Ki
Bolt (a.k.a. Venom Strike, Zero
Spike, etc)
Prerequisites:
Focus 3
Power Points:
Any Style with Fireball pays the same cost; Any 5

the fighter launches a bolt of energy at the enemy, a favored attack of
King who calls it Venom Strike.
System: As
per Fireball. This is a Fireball Variant.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: -1
Damage: +1
Move: None
Kinetic
Charge
Prerequisites:
Focus 2
Power Points:
AC 2, Any 4
An object is infused
with crackling kinetic energy. When struck against an object, it releases
an explosive blast (damaging the object as well). These objects are generally
thrown to release the energy because the explosive blast damages everything
touching the object.
System: The
kinetic energy remains in the object (sometimes a baseball or playing card)
for the current turn and the next or until it is released. The modifiers
listed below labeled Special refer to using this maneuver to charge an
item and then move. Otherwise, the modifiers for this maneuver refer to
charging and throwing an item in the same turn.
Damage is based
on Strength + Focus. The object can be thrown a number of hexes equal to
Strength + Focus (unless it weighs over one pound in which case it is the
Storyteller's discretion). Whether it be card or ball, the object will
seem to have equal weighting for throwing.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: -2
(Special +3)
Damage: +2
Move: None
(Special +0)
Power Geyser
Prerequisites: Focus 5, Power Wave
Power Points: Ankoku, Hak 5
With a downward punch, Chi is blasted from the ground in forward blasting columns that rise upwards from the ground 3 feet for every dot of Focus.
System: Juggles. Knocks back one hex. Affects every hex in a straight line for hexes equal to your Focus -2. Opponents who are not Blocking
and are still in the Geyser's path after the first damage test after being knocked back one hex, take another damage test and are
knocked back another hex. This is repeated until the opponent is no
longer in a Power Geyser hex.
Cost: 2 Chi
Speed: -2
Damage: +4
Move: None
Power Stream (the old stats for Power Geyser)

Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: -1
Damage: +3
Move: None
Quick Teleport
Prerequisites: Yoga Teleport
Power Points: Any Style that gets Yoga Teleport 2
System: Like Yoga Teleport; however, the fighter appears
instantaneously at the new location instead of at the end of the turn. This is good for movement but is not quite as good for avoiding attacks. This is an Abort maneuver. You can use this to dodge Fireballs. The opposed roll is Wits+Focus.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: +3
Damage: None
Move: Focus + Intelligence
Raging Storm (the Death Flower)
Prerequisites:
Focus 5, Power Wave, Shockwave
Power Points:
Hak 5
Crouching down,
the ground is struck with both fists and energy waves rise up around the
fighter from all sides. The effect looks like blossoming flower petals
of pure energy reaching up around the fighter to consume him. Geese Howard
is the only one known to have perfected this.
System: This
maneuver is Crouching. This affects every hex adjacent to the fighter and
anyone standing in the fighter's hex. This knocks back 2 hexes and will
knock down unless the defender is Blocking. The petals are 4 feet high
per dot of Focus.
Cost: 2 Chi
Speed: -2
Damage: +7
Move: None
Raijen Ken
Prerequisites: Focus 4, Punch 4, Elemental Background 1 or Orochi Blood

(Reimi's) Coup de Grâce
Prerequisites: Focus 7, Grab 4,
Levitation
Power Points: J'hana Aura Combat 5
Description:
Reimi grabs an opponent and flies straight up, punching through the clouds overhead. Protected by her personal bubble of energy, she gives her opponent some time to think and view the Earth spinning below. After that, it's a simple matter of driving her enemy straight into the ground.
System: Grab. It is aerial during the period between the Grab and the damage test. Cannot perform when there is a ceiling present.
Cost: 2 Will, 2 Chi
Speed: -1
Damage: +14
Move: +2
Reppu Ken (Fireball-version)
Prerequisites:
Focus 3
Power Points:
Hak 3; Any Style with Fireball pays same cost; Any 5
The fighter
hurls a swirl of wind/energy along the ground at the enemy, a favored attack
by Geese Howard and Rugal Bernstein.
System: As
per Fireball. This is a Fireball Variant. The Reppu Ken is a ground fireball. It must travel along something solid to hit a target.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: +0
Damage: +0
Move: None
Rose Stinger
Prerequisites: Focus 5, Athletics 3
Power Points: J'hana Aura Combat 4
Description: Reimi created this
maneuver with her favorite flower, which also has many thorns, in mind. Creating
a field of red energy in front of her, Reimi propels herself into her opponent.
System: You may make one damage
test every time you come into contact with your target's hex. This maneuver
causes a hex of knockback with every damage test and is also a straight-line
maneuver. Movement is based on Focus.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: -1
Damage: -1
Move: +0
Screw Upper
Prerequisites:
Hurricane Upper, Focus 5
Power Points:
Kazeshiken, Thai KB 5
The fighter
throws two fierce punches, creating a pair of giant cyclones that head
toward the enemy.
System: This
is a ranged Focus attack. You get +2 dice on the to-hit roll when an enemy tries to avoid this attack. The range in hexes is Focus
+1. Cyclone height is usually about 4 feet per dot of Focus. This attack
inflicts two damage tests on the enemy and performs a Knockdown.
Cost: 2 Chi
Speed: -3
Damage: +4
(x2)
Move: None
Seventh Sense
Prerequisites:
Focus 5, Cosmic Waking
Power Points: AC, J'hana Aura Combat 2 (add +1 for Reach for Cosmo); Any 3 (add +2 for Reach for Cosmo)
Not only can you
now sense the state of Chi in things, you can now see the Auras of all
living things. Your perception of everything is now much clearer.
System: Your
ability to perceive and understand Chi is now much clearer than the vague
perception you had when first Awakening. By looking at someone, you can
see the amount of Chi or whether someone is possessed or under other outside
control. With Aura sight, you can also sense the mental condition of someone,
dark fates, destiny (good or bad), supernatural power, and whether someone
is filled with great compassion or cruelty.
Possession of this power lowers the difficulty of all Blind Fighting rolls by one. By spending one Chi, you can view the world in Chi sight rather than by normal vision for one scene (or 10 rounds). This doesn't require eyes. With Chi sight, you will only see things that actually exist for you only see Chi and all energy, objects (including dead things), and living things possess Chi. And against Aura Illusion, it is easy for one with this power to distinguish between an illusion and a real person.
Special Use: Reach
for Cosmo "Cosmic Reach"
With intricate knowledge
of Chi, you can also see the weakest and strongest spots in something.
By spending a round to look over something or someone, you can prepare
yourself to strike and deal massive damage to it, possibly breaking it
(with this, you could punch steel and not take damage). Essentially, you
strike the essence of the target with the veil of the physical world removed.
For the next (turns = Wits), this power halves the Stamina (round down)
and the value of any armor worn by the target for any attacks employed
by the user of this power.
Cost: 2 Will (for Reach for Cosmo)
Shining Pass
Prerequisites: Focus 4, Athletics 3
Power Points: J'hana Aura Combat 4
Description: Strike your opponent and
keep on going. This maneuver is easily picked up by those who fail to master the
Rose Stinger.
System: The target must initially
be in range of your Focus. After the attack, you may continue up to the full
movement of the maneuver (based on Focus). Coincidentally, Reimi's mother has a similar maneuver,
but it also Juggles an opponent.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: +0
Damage: +4
Move: +2
Siphon
(The Hand of Death)
Prerequisites:
Regeneration, Chi Kung Healing, Focus 5
Power Points:
Snake Style 5
Description:
The Snake Master reaches out with his hand and draws life energy from the
victim, turning it into energy for himself.
System: This attack has a range of Focus + Wits. During the attack, every Will spent automatically transfers 1 Chi from the Victim to the Snake Master. If the victim runs out of Chi, every Will spent automatically inflicts Two Health Levels of damage (and transfers it as 1 Chi to the Snake Master). The Snake Master may only spend Will equal to his Focus per round.
Can play from a Sustained Hold.
Cost: 1 Will
Per Chi
Speed: -1
Damage: Special
Move: None
Sixth Sense / Danger Sense (Formerly Sixth Sense and Sakki)
Prerequisites:
Focus 5
Power Points:
In a Style 3; Any 5. However, -1 PP if you possess Awakening Sixth
The psychic's power
has advanced to the point where imminent danger can be sensed. This power
is always on. While sleeping, the warning will take the form of dreams.
System:
The roll for Danger Sense to work is Perception+Focus. You need 1 Success for an attack aimed at you. 2 Successes for something unintentionally hitting you. 3 Successes for something that will not harm you but will harm people nearby. You need one more success than normal if you are asleep.
If the power works, you may immediately play a Move, Jump, or Block (or a variant of any of those three such as Teleport, Backflip, Accelerated Jump, or even Evasion).
Sonic Scissor
Prerequisites: Sonic Boom
Power Points: Special Forces 3; Any 5
Two arcs of sonic energy circle around the enemy and then strike from the left and right sides.
System: This attack makes two damage tests. The range is Wits+Focus -1. The second projectile gets +2 dice for the hit roll if the target tries to dodge.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: -3
Damage: +4 (x2)
Move: None
Soul Spiral: See Miscellaneous Technique
Summon Rage
Prerequisites:
Focus 3
Power Points:
Orochi 2; Chinese Amazon 3; Any 4
For non-Orochi, using this power simply summons inner strength for a short time.
By releasing a bit
of control over the Orochi power, one can summon massive strength and power
- enough to destroy any mortal; however, the user runs the risk (no, the
inevitability) of undergoing the Riot of Blood. That is, anyway, what happens
when this power is unsuccessfully used.
When this power
is used, the user's appearance obviously changes to more animalistic and
savage.
System: Roll
three dice. Following this round, the successes are added to your strength for rounds equal to Focus. One extra Will may be spent for an automatic success. Only on the turn that this is used, your stamina is increased by the
same number of successes.
If no successes are gained and you are an Orochi, you undergo
the Riot of Blood.
Cost: 2 Will,
1 Chi
Speed: +2
Dam: -
Move: None
Telekinetic Throw
Prerequisites: Throw, Focus 3
Power Points: Psychic Kung Fu 4
The victim is hurled into the air by telekinesis.

Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: +1
Damage: +3
Move: One
Tiger Ball
Prerequisites: Focus 4
Power Points: Thai KB 4
This is like a fireball; however, it is a slightly guided projectile.
System: As Fireball, but the attacker has a one lower difficulty on his roll to strike (but not to damage) a target that is trying to evade.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: -1
Damage: +3
Move: None
Voltaic Launcher (Gravity
Storm)
Prerequisites:
Focus 4
Power Points:
Ankoku, Orochi 4
The orochi
places both hands forward and then moves the arms apart, concentrating.
The area between the hands becomes a temporary sink of power, resulting
in a surge of energy into the area ahead of the fighter.
System: This
Focus attack only has the range of hand to hand combat. The rippling sphere
of energy strikes the target hex three (3) times.
Cost: 2 Chi
Speed: -2
Damage: +2
(x3)
Move: One

or Kick) 3
Power Points:
Psychic KF 3; Hakyokuseiken 4; Any 5
The fighter leaps
into the air and dives into the enemy, charging his punch or kick with
crackling Chi energy.
System: The
Energy Dive is an Aerial maneuver and can evade Fireballs. The damage-dealing
technique is either Punch or Kick, chosen when this move is learned, and
it can't be changed. This maneuver must be purchased separately for Punch
and Kick.
Cost: 1 Chi

Damage: +5
Move: +0
Soul Spiral
Prerequisites:
Focus 3, Punch 3 or Kick 3
Power Points:
Punch Version: AC 4; Kick Version: AC 4
The Aura-user makes
a short rush forward and strikes his opponent with an arm surrounded by
Aura. This maneuver can only be used with Punch or Kick and must be specified
when learned. It may (must) be bought separately for both.
System: Damage
Calculated by Punch (or Kick) + Focus + Strength. If damage is done, this
causes a knockdown and knocks the target one hex backwards. Speed is calculated
from Dexterity.
Cost: 1 Chi
Speed: -1
Dam: Special
Move: +0

Boast
Prerequisites:
None
Power Points:
Free
System: The
fighter spends one turn doing nothing but bragging and gains one temporary
glory. The braggart can lose one temporary glory instead just as a Taunter
can from taunting (see taunt).
Cost: None
Speed: +0
Damage: None
Move: None
Taunt
Prerequisites:
None
Power Points:
None
The competitor spends
a turn doing nothing but making fun of the opposition.
System: The
opposition loses one temporary glory unless the taunter is dizzied, knocked
down, or takes more damage from the opposition than the taunter can roll
successes on a Charisma roll. Also, the taunter loses one temporary glory
if one those three conditions occurs (although the subject of the taunt
won't gain back glory if someone else does this to the Taunter).
Also, a Taunt returns
one temporary glory to the taunter if one had been lost earlier in the
match due to a Taunt or failed Boast.
Cost: None
Speed: +0
Damage: None
Move: None
Abort Taunt or Boast to Block
Prerequisites:
Block 1
Power Points:
Any 1
The taunter quickly
ends his taunt or boast to block an attack
System: This
defense allows one Taunt with a sense of security. The Taunt is unaffected.
If the subject of the taunt attacks and fails to do any damage to do the
Taunter, they lose a second point of temporary glory (both taunted and
shown up by the taunter in the same turn). Other than the speed modifier,
this is a normal block.
Cost: None
Speed: +0
Damage: None
Move: None
Variable (Maneuver Name)
Prerequisites: A maneuver with more than one version
Power Points: Any 2
System: This can have one of three effects:
Buy this for one specific maneuver (you can buy this multiple times, each for a different maneuver) that has more than one version. Examples are Dragon's Breath, Hop Kick, and Shock Treatment (only?). You now know the different versions and may choose which version to play when you use it in Combo. This does not apply when different versions of a maneuver use different Techniques (or when different versions have different PP costs - unless you paid the highest one).
You can buy this for a maneuver that has Variants. You can link two Variants together when you do this (each additional Variant costs +1 PP). If you do, you may choose which maneuver to play from that family of manuevers when it is specified in a Combo. For example, you can buy this for the Fireball family (includes Fireball, Ki Bolt, Reppu Ken (Projectile), and Flash Strike). For 2 PP, you can consider Fireball and Ki Bolt to be one maneuver for combos. For +1 PP, you can add Reppu Ken. Of course, you have to have already learned those maneuvers and paid the PP cost to add them.
You can buy this for a maneuver that has Upgrades, such as Rising Uppercut, Dragon Punch, Flaming Dragon Punch, and Shinryuu Ken (the Dragon Punch family). When the maneuvers do not share a common name, the easiest way to tell if something is an upgrade is if there is a maneuver requirement in the same Technique and that is the only maneuver requirement. Rising Uppercut is actually a Variant.
For 2 PP, you link two maneuvers from this family together. For +1 PP each, you can add other maneuvers in the family. When any of the linked maneuvers appear in a combo, you can choose to play one of its related links instead. This doesn't mean you can choose to play a different maneuver than the card you had played, just that you can choose which of the similar maneuvers to play before the round starts.
This is most useful when you have two or more instances of an older version of a maneuver in your combos that you wish to upgrade.
