The basic attack with a tahto weapon will do blunt damage. Note that while a tahto is wielded, the trained monk can still perform punches and other moves.
 
==Tahtai==

|}
 
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 damage and wounds.
 
==Boost==
 
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Power: 5 or 10 (Megalith of Doom)
|-
|}
 
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/>
<tt>KATA PERFORM ROARK SMASH DESTROY</tt>
 
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/>
<tt>KATA PERFORM ROARK SMASH +DESTROY</tt>
 
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/>
<tt>KATA PERFORM ROARK +SMASH +DESTROY</tt>
 
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/>
<tt>KATA PERFORM ROARK ++SMASH DESTROY</tt>
 
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.
 
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.

With a well-placed blow from your staff, you may cause various afflictions, including a brief loss of mental equilibrium (head), shortness of breath (chest), stun (gut), limb balance loss (arms), or a cracked kneecap (legs) to prevent stancing.

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>
You can build up to 850 hemorrhaging on a target.

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

This action does various mild and also potentially major injuries to the body, including a blackout, collapsed lungs, severed spine (gut), or damaged limbs. In the case of hitting limbs, you will mangle them if they are already broken. If you are unable to mangle, this move will always break the bone and either trip the target or sometimes force the hands to unwield. This move will cause you to lose some momentum, and more will be lost if your target's spine is severed.

If your opponent is sprawled and has a faltering heart, this deadly strike to the chest can cause their heart to explode instantly. It requires the concentration of a kata form to execute; it cannot be executed by itself. This move will cause you to lose some momentum. If it is successful, you will lose more momentum.

* denotes stances.


Tahto

Syntax
KA TAHTO <target> <bodypart> LEFT|RIGHT
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 form 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).

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

If you burst your target when they have greater than 750 hemorrhaging, it will put their body into a weakened state in which you can instantly kill them with Gahtirak'sho.


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
Stance: Base

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

Head: Blindness
Chest: Sensitivity
Gut: Sickening
Arms: Clumsiness
Legs: 50 bruising


Rakto

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
KA BAIRAK <target> HEAD
Action: Grapple

Bodyparts: Head
Stance: Twist

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

Effect: 2s Blackout periodically while grapple is maintained.


Rakti'ini

This is the advanced form of the Twist Low Stance.

Bonus Effect: Adds 25 bruising if you enter a surge stance within 8 seconds of entering this stance.


Polevault

Syntax
KA POLEVAULT <target> <form name> args]

KA POLEVAULT <direction>

Kata: Unique

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

You can also simply polevault alone to a different room.

*Note: There must be dry stable ground beneath your feet to be able to polevault, unless you are in an Aquamancers demesne.

Changelog:

  • Polevault will work in watery rooms if the user has the waterwalk defence. (#2109 on 6-13-2020)

Syntax
KA BOMOL'SHO <target> <side>

Stance: Surge

By expertly targeting your foot to strike a specific body part, you can afflict devastating different afflictions.

Head: Stupidity
Chest: Asthma
Gut: Dysentery
Arms: DamagedArms
Legs: DamagedLegs


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.
