As an alternative, you can also add this to any form by prepending "<tt>=</tt>" to the name of the form. For example, if you have a form <tt>SMITE</tt> that you wish to use againt Roark then you would do <tt>KATA PERFORM ROARK SMITE</tt>.

RELAX GRIP
 
|description = While using this ability, you will prevent wielded items from being knocked out of your grip. Relax when you want to unwield.
When using your nekai 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 damage and wounds.
}}
 
{{AB
==Boost==
|skillname = Kaiga
 
|cost = Stance: Base
{|
|description = 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.
|-
<br><br>
|style="background:pink"|Power: 5 or 10 (Ravenwood Tree)
Certain afflictions will give you bonus hemorrhaging if your target has them when you start your form. Boosting will also double your hemorrhaging.
|-
<br><br>
|}
You can now use the <tt>BURST</tt> word to convert all your target's hemorrhaging to bleeding. This cannot be done on full actions.
 
{{sub
You can now expend power for a temporary increase in momentum. Suppose you have a Kata form called <tt>SMASH</tt> and another called <tt>DESTROY</tt>. Normally you could string these together using this syntax:<br/>
|syntax = KATA PERFORM <target> <form> BURST
<tt>KATA PERFORM ROARK SMASH DESTROY</tt>
|cost = Power: 2 (Master Ravenwood)}}
 
Afflictions: [[CollapsedLung]], [[Disloyalty]], [[Confusion]], [[Dysentery]]
If you do not have enough momentum to support the ka cost of <tt>DESTROY</tt> then you boost your momentum by a level for 5 power. You use <tt>+</tt> to do this. For example:<br/>
<br><br>
<tt>KATA PERFORM ROARK SMASH +DESTROY</tt>
You can build up to 850 hemorrhaging on a target
 
<br><br>
You can boost multiple forms. For example, if you lack the momentum for both <tt>SMASH</tt> and <tt>DESTROY</tt> then you could boost both for a sum cost of 10 power with this syntax:<br/>
If you burst a target with greater than 750 hemorrhaging, it will put them into a weakened state temporarily. During that time, using [[#FinalSting|Finalsting]] will instantly kill them.
<tt>KATA PERFORM ROARK +SMASH +DESTROY</tt>
}}
 
{{AB
Finally, you can also boost your forms by two momentum levels using ++. For example, if you need two more levels of momentum to afford the <tt>SMASH</tt> form then you could spend 10 power to do the following:<br/>
|skillname = Sprongcree
<tt>KATA PERFORM ROARK ++SMASH DESTROY</tt>
|cost = Twist High Stance
 
|description = Bonus Effect: Guarantees poison application from weapon to target. Does not guarantee affliction.
Lastly, there is a level 6 of momentum that opens 1500 ka points. You cannot attain this level through normal means. Only through boosting can you get to level 6 momentum.
}}
 
{{AB
NOTE: This skill does not actually increase your momentum. It just gives a temporary boost. So if an attack causes you to lose momentum, boosting will not help you avoid the momentum loss.

This attack will increase your momentum level. Note that if you target the air then it will not be able to get you past initial momentum. You cannot target the air in a Kata form.
 
==ScorpionStrike==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''

The creehai technique puts more concentration on ensuring the poisoned part of your weapon or dart strikes deep, maximizing the exposure to the bloodstream and thereby reducing the chance it is resisted by the target.
 
==ScorpionSpit==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''

|-

When you are struck with a poison, you can use your power of mind-over-body to send the poison from your blood and into your mouth. At that point you can spit the poison upon any target, afflicting the poor victim with the toxin. You only have the capacity to store one poison at a time in your mouth. Do not specify a target if you wish to just spit out the poison on the ground.

This move causes very serious afflictions, including pierced limbs, liver damage, a severed phrenic nerve, or removal of the eyes. This move will cause you to lose some momentum.
 
==Oriama==

|-
|style="background:pink"|Kata:      Modifier<br/>
Ka Weight: 500
|-
|}
 
This technique improves upon the basic Kata throw attack. When throwing someone while locking a limb, you will break the limb and do more wounding damage; you will mangle the limb if the target was also prone at the time. For locks on non-limb bodyparts, it will not cause any additional afflictions, but it will increase wounding damage even higher than it does for limbs. Upon a successful mangle, some momentum will be lost.
 
==ScorpionBlood==
 
While you are holding venom in your mouth to spit, its presence in your body will allow the poison shrugging effects of Resilience to be more effective.
 
==ScorpionTail==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KA SCORPIONTAIL</tt>
|-
|}
This is a defensive state based on shifting the balance between your legs. When you dodge an enemy due to a good stance, you will immediately respond with a sweep kick, knocking the attacker down. Note that it only function as part of a dodging move on your part, not if the attacker misses completely due to his own ineptness.
 
==Ootangk==

While this grapple is in place, there is a chance for cures to fail for its respective body part. When on the head, it impacts sipping; the chest, it impacts smoking; the gut, it impacts eating; the arms, it impacts applying salves, potions, and medicinebags. This move will cause you to lose some momentum.

This kick will pinch a nerve, causing muscles to stiffen. This affliction, when used on the the head, increases potion sip balance; on the chest, increases herb smoking balance; on the gut, increases herb eating balance; on the arms, increases balance for applying salves and potions to the body, and also touching Stag medicinebags. This move will cause you to lose momentum.

The shocree technique seeks to induce more pain than normal. Although the pain does not do any physical harm, it does distract the victim from immediately noticing the symptoms of any poisons induced by the attack.

This move induces poison relapsing. In addition, if you have level four or higher momentum then it can also cause a slit throat or torn tendon if used on the head or legs. This move will cause you to lose some momentum, more than normal if you manage to cut the leg tendons.

A sharp blow to the centermass of the body, this move can collapse the lungs (chest) or spine (gut). If you momentum has reached level 5 then it will also do bleeding: the more wounded the bodypart, the more bleeding. This move will cause you to lose some momentum and will drain additional momentum if delivering severed spine. It is not a very effective attack when used against the gut outside the fluidity of a kata form.

This kick is meant to be combined with a poisoned dart inserted under your foot. If using this within a kata form, it will force the dart so deep into the flesh that it will avoid various immunities. For crotamine poison, it will also cause the poison to immediately start afflicting the victim at a very late stage symptom. This move will cause you to lose some momentum. When used outside a kata form, it is too weak to perform any differently than a normal kick.

The Nekotai skill is learned by the monk guild of the same name in the Commune of Glomdoring. They specialize in the nekai, a one handed weapon that forms three (usually) claws. Their kata style heavily involves the use of poison, and generally causes significant bleeding. This is also known as the scorpion style of kata combat.

Nekai

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

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

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


Nekreve

Syntax
KATA PERFORM <target> <form> NEKREVE

KATA PERFORM <target> =<form>

Kata: Modifier

Power: 3 (Ravenwood Tree)

When using your nekai 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 againt 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.


Boost

Syntax
KATA PERFORM <target> <form> BOOST

KATA PERFORM <target> <form>+

Power: 2 (Ravenwood Tree)

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.


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.


Kaiga

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.

You can now use the BURST word to convert all your target's hemorrhaging to bleeding. This cannot be done on full actions.

Syntax
KATA PERFORM <target> <form> BURST
Power: 2 (Master Ravenwood)

Afflictions: CollapsedLung, Disloyalty, Confusion, Dysentery

You can build up to 850 hemorrhaging on a target

If you burst a target with greater than 750 hemorrhaging, it will put them into a weakened state temporarily. During that time, using Finalsting will instantly kill them.


Sprongcree

Twist High Stance

Bonus Effect: Guarantees poison application from weapon to target. Does not guarantee affliction.


Angknek

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

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

This move causes mild afflictions.

Head: Confusion
Chest: Epilepsy
Gut: Dysentery
Arms: Clumsiness
Legs: DamagedLeg


Nekcree

Twist Low Stance

Bonus Effect: 50 extra bleed on target


Oothai

Syntax
KA OOTHAI <target> <bodypart>
Kata: Grapple

Bodypart: Head Stance: Twist

You can use your nekai blades to do a choking grapple. This move does more harm than a basic Kata choke would do.


Kaife

Syntax
KATA PERFORM <target> <form> KAIFE
Power: 2 (Ravenwood Tree)

This advanced version of the urchin stance will regress you down a stance.


ScorpionStrike

Syntax
KA SCORPIONSTRIKE <target> <kata form>

This is an attack that cannot be done as part of a Kata form. The scorpion strike is initiated from the room adjacent to your intended target. You then rush to your target, perform a single kata form, and then rush back from whence you came.


Burst

Syntax
KATA PERFORM <target> <form> BURST
Power: 2 (Ravenwood Tree)

Bursting your target causes all of their hemorrhaging to be converted to bleeding. 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 FinalSting to its full effect.


Ootalangk

Syntax
KA OOTALANGK <target> <bodypart>
Kata: Grapple

Bodypart: Head, Chest, Gut, Rarm, Larm, Rleg, Lleg Stance: Centre

This strong grapple has the chance to burst vessels if your target is bleeding enough.

Target >= 800 bleed, cure 600 bleed and 2 burst vessels
Target >= 350 bleed, cure 350 bleed and burst 1 vessel


Nektree

Syntax
CLIMB [UP|DOWN]

While wielding two nekai blades, you will be able to use them to climb your way up trees and stay there if there is a strong wind. You will also resist forced movement while standing near trees.


ScorpionTail

Stance: Centre

If you have your base stance bonus, applies charybdon to your target as an additional effect.

Additional Notes:
Charybdon poison randomly mimics any other poison (except calcise or dendroxin).

ScorpionSpit

Syntax
KATA PERFORM <target> <form> SPIT

When you are struck with a poison, you can use your power of mind-over-body to send the poison from your blood and into your mouth. At that point you can spit the poison upon any target, afflicting the poor victim with the toxin. You only have the capacity to store one poison at a time in your mouth. Do not specify a target if you wish to just spit out the poison on the ground.


Angkai

Syntax
KA ANGKAI <target> <bodypart> RIGHT|LEFT
Kata: Arm Attack

Bodypart: Head, Chest, Gut, Rarm, Larm, Rleg, Lleg
Stance: Center

This move causes very serious afflictions.

Head: Blind
Chest: CrushedChest
Gut: DamagedOrgans
Arms: Sickening
Legs: Disloyalty


Oriama

Syntax
KA ORIAMA <target>
Kata: Grapple Ender

Bodyparts: LArm, RArm, LLeg, RLeg
Stance: Surge

This technique improves upon the basic Kata throw attack. When throwing someone while locking a limb, you will break the limb or you will mangle the limb if the limb was already broken. For locks on non-limb bodyparts, it will not cause any additional afflictions and will act like a normal kata throw.

Limbs: If Damaged, will Mutilate, otherwise it will Damage

Additional Notes:
See Damaged Arm, Damaged Leg, Mutilated Arm and Mutilated Leg.

ScorpionBlood

While you are holding venom in your mouth to spit, its presence in your body will allow your poison shrugging effects to be more effective.


Creehai

Surge High Stance

The creehai technique puts more concentration on ensuring the poisoned part of your weapon or dart strikes deep, maximizing the exposure to the bloodstream and thereby reducing the chance it is resisted by the target.

Effect: Bypass Poison Resistance and Hide the first afflicted Poison


Ootangk

Syntax
KA OOTANGK <target> <bodypart>
Kata: Grapple

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