Ninjakari (skill)

The Ninjakari skill is learned by the monk guild of the same name in the City of Magnagora. They specialize in the jakari, a chain weapon that is swung to devastating effect, which is sometimes barbed or affixed with a scythe end, though the latter is rarely seen.

Ninjakari (by Daermon)

Jakari

Syntax

KA JAKARI <target> <bodypart> RIGHT

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

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.

Jakati

Syntax

KATA PERFORM <target> <form> JAKATI KATA PERFORM <target> =<form>

Kata: Raze Power: 3 (Megalith of Doom)

When using your jakari 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.

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 (Megalith of Doom)

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.

Ochai

Syntax

KATA PERFORM <target> <form> BURST

Power: 2 (Megalith of Doom)

Base Stance

The brutal impact of a chain can break the flesh, causing a good amount of bleeding.

Bonus Effect: Adds extra 10% of damage as bruising.

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 targets hemorrhaging to bleeding and bruising. This cannot be done on full actions.

Afflictions: InternalBleeding, Disloyalty, Pox, Confusion

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 Ughathalogg will instantly kill them.

Ninchu

Syntax

KA PERFORM <target> <bodypart> NINCHU

Power: 2 (Megalith of Doom)

This stance is the advanced version of the urchin stance which allows you to move backwards through your stance at the expense of power instead of balance.

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.

Ninshi

Syntax

KA NINSHI <target> <bodypart> KA YANK <target>

Kata: Grapple (Ninshi) Grapple Ender (Yank) Bodyparts: Head, Chest, Gut, Rarm, Larm, Rleg, Lleg Stance: Base

Ninshi:

This is a two handed attack using your chain to strike at the victim, causing it to coil around the part of the body struck. While caught in your chain, attempts to heal that body part with regenerative ice may occasionally be foiled.

Note that you may not engage in the Ninshi and yank from it all in the same kata.

Effect: 50% chance for ice application to fail.

Yank:

Yanking will hide any poison afflictions received from poisons on your jakari.

Effect: Hides poisons and will add bruising or bleed depending on what you have less of.

If you have less bleeding, yank will deal 15% + 15% * number of affs (Internalbleeding, DamagedOrgans, Dysentery or Vomiting) of the targets current bruising. If your target has 1000 bruising and 200 bleeding, this will deal 150 to 750 bleeding. If bruising is less, it does the same, but based off bleeding.

This requires a barbed chain, otherwise it just increases bruising.

Dhatogh

Twist High Stance

Bonus Effect: DamagedOrgans

Bhaddogho

Twist Low Stance

Bonus Effect: Add 25 bleed and 12 bruising

Ninoaghi

Syntax

Burst

Syntax

KATA PERFORM <target> <form> BURST

Power: 2 (Megalith of Doom)

Bursting your target causes all of their hemorrhaging to be converted to bruising and if your jakari is barbed, bleeding as well. 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 Ughathalogg to its full effect.
