Nunchaku (skill)

Jump to navigation Jump to search
The Nunchaku are of the monk archetype. As such, after having mastered the basic monk practices of Kata, they specialise in Nunchaku, the art of using nunchakus, which are two rods connected by some type of chain. Their secondary skill is Zarakido, which involves harnessing the flows of life itself as well as mastering one's inner will. Nunchaku may also choose to learn psionics, eventually turning their study to their bodies with psychometabolism, or acrobatics.

Nuncha

Syntax
KA NUNCHA <target> <bodypart> RIGHT|LEFT
Kata: Arm Action

Bodypart: Head, Chest, Gut, Rarm, Larm, Rleg, Lleg
Stance: Base
Can Target Denizens

The basic attack with a nunchaku weapon will do blunt damage. You will do more damage than other arm actions with this move. Note that while a nunchaku is wielded, the trained monk can still perform punches and other moves.


Nunki

Syntax
KATA PERFORM <target> <form> NUNKI

KATA PERFORM <target> =<form>

Kata: Modifier

Power: 3 (Eternal Flame)

When using your nunchaku to attack opponents, your weapon will shear away the defences of your enemies that serve to keep your weapons out.

As an alternative, you can also add this to any form by prepending "=" to the name of the form. For example, if you have a form SMITE that you wish to use against Roark then you would do KATA PERFORM ROARK SMITE. If you do KATA PERFORM ROARK =SMITE then it will automatically use this modifier with the SMITE form.


Xiiangu

Stance: Base

Changing stances now deals hemorrhaging. Hemorrhaging is an affliction that prevents you from clotting bleed below that level, or bruising below half that level. It cures over time.

Certain afflictions will give you bonus hemorrhaging if your target has them when you start your form. Boosting will also double your hemorrhaging.

Afflictions: Vomiting, Disloyalty, DamagedOrgans, Sickening

You can build up to 850 hemorrhaging on a target.
