Shofa
| Syntax |
| KA SHOFA <target> <bodypart> LEFT|RIGHT |
| Kata: Action Bodypart: Head, Chest, Gut, Rarm, Larm, Rleg, Lleg |
The basic attack with a shofa weapon will do bleeding as well as cutting damage. Note that while a shofa is wielded, the trained monk can still perform punches and other moves. Shofa attacks will do a higher base damage than other attacks.
Skive
| Syntax |
| KATA PERFORM <target> <form> SKIVE KATA PERFORM <target> =<form> |
| Kata: Modifier Power: 3 (Moonhart Tree) |
When using your shofa to attack opponents, your weapon will shear away the defences of your enemies that serve to keep your weapons out. Only works on actions using shofa blades. It will also act as if you boosted this 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 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 (Moonhart 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.
