Tahto

Syntax
KA TAHTO <target> <bodypart> LEFT
Kata: Action

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

The basic attack with a tahto weapon will do bruising as well as blunt damage. Note that while a tahto is wielded, the trained monk can still perform punches and other moves. Tahto attacks will do a higher base damage than other attacks.


Tahtai

Syntax
KATA PERFORM <target> <form> TAHTAI

KATA PERFORM <target> =<form>

Power: 3 (Pool of Stars)

When using your tahto to attack opponents, your weapon will shear away the defences of your enemies that serve to keep your weapons out. It will also boost your form.

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 againt Galt then you would do KATA PERFORM GALT SMITE. If you do KATA PERFORM GALT =SMITE then it will automatically use this modifier with the SMITE form.


Boost

Syntax
KATA PERFORM <target> <form> BOOST

KATA PERFORM <target> <form>+

Power: 2 (Pool of Stars)

Boosting a form will give you a temporary 13/13 balance buff for that form only. You can add boost either by using the BOOST argument at the end of the form or appending '+' to the end for the form name.



Aegis

This is the advanced version of the Base stance.

Bonus Effect: Haemophilia if you enter Center stance within 8 seconds of entering Base Stance.

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.

You can build up to 850 hemorrhaging on a target.

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

Afflictions: CrushedChest, Sickening, Healthleech, Clumsiness

You can now use the BURST word to convert all your targets hemorrhaging to bruising at a two to one ratio. (i.e. 100 hemorrhaging becomes 50 bruising).


Gripping

Syntax
GRIP

RELAX GRIP

While using this ability, you will prevent wielded items from being knocked out of your grip. Relax when you want to unwield.


Baito'ruku

Syntax
KA BAITO'RUKU <target> <bodypart> <side>
Action: Arm Action

Bodyparts: Head, Chest, Gut, Larm, Rarm, Lleg, Rleg

This action does basic afflictions and bruising depending on where you attack.

Head: Blindness

This is the advanced form of the Twist High Stance.

Bonus Effect: CrushedChest if you enter a surge stance within 8 seconds of entering this stance.


Bairak

Syntax

Action: Grapple

Bodyparts: Head
Stance: Twist

This is a more advanced version of the choke grapple that causes blackout instead of asphyxiation damage

KA POLEVAULT <direction>

Kata: Unique

By polevaulting to a target, you can vault over any obstacle and immediately into any Kata form.

Burst

Syntax
KATA PERFORM <target> <form> BURST
Power: 2 (Pool of Stars)

Bursting your target causes all of their hemorrhaging to be converted to half the amount in bruising. Additionally if your target has more than 750 hemorrhaging, their body will weaken for a time a few seconds after they are bursted.

This weakened state will allow you to use Gahtirak'sho to its full effect.
