| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KA NEKAI <target> <bodypart> RIGHT|LEFT</tt> (For players)

The basic attack with a nekai weapon will do cutting damage and wounding. Note that while a nekai is wielded, the trained monk can still perform punches and other moves.

| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KATA DEVELOP <form> MODIFIERS NEKREVE</tt>

|style="background:pink"|Power: 3 (Any)<br/>

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.

|style="background:pink"|Power: 5 or 10 (Ravenwood Tree)

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/>

 

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/>

 

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/>

 

 

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.

<tt>RELAX GRIP</tt>

|style="background:pink"|Kata:     Modifier<br/>

When kicking, there is a chance to burst a blood vessel on a limb. The more momentum you have, the more likely it is to burst.

 

 

| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''

With this modifier, you will angle your kicks to ensure the poisoned dart is exposed and pierces the skin of the target. Note that you have enough foot control to ensure the dart does not accidentally connect without your explicit intent.

|style="background:pink"|Kata:     Attack<br/>

Ka Weight: 125<br/>

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

This move causes mild afflictions, including slicing a limb, gashing a cheek, puncturing lungs, and opening up the gut.

|style="background:pink"|Kata:     Action<br/>

Ka Weight: 350<br/>

Bodypart: Head

| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KA KAIFE <target> <bodypart></tt><br/>

<tt>KA KAIFE AIR</tt>

|style="background:pink"|Kata:      Action<br/>

Power:    1 (Ravenwood Tree)<br/>

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.

==Nektree==

While wielding two nekai blades, you will be able to use them to climb your way up trees. You will also resist forced movement while standing near trees.

==Creehai==

| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KATA DEVELOP <form> MODIFIERS CREEHAI</tt>

|style="background:pink"|Kata:     Modifier<br/>

Ka Weight: 200

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.

| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>SPIT <target></tt>

|style="background:pink"|Kata:     Attack<br/>

Ka Weight: 350<br/>

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

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.

| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KATA DEVELOP <form> MODIFIERS ORIAMA</tt>

|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.

==ScorpionTail==

| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''

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.

|style="background:pink"|Kata:     Action<br/>

Ka Weight: 500<br/>

Bodypart: Head, Chest, Gut, Rarm, Larm

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.

|style="background:pink"|Kata:     Action<br/>

Ka Weight: 250<br/>

Bodypart:  Head, Chest, Gut, Rarm, Larm

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.

| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KA SPRONGHAI <target> <bodypart></tt>

|style="background:pink"|Kata:     Action<br/>

Ka Weight: 250<br/>

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

This style of kick induces haemophilia and internal bleeding. The more momentum, the more bleeding.

|style="background:pink"|Kata:     Modifier<br/>

Ka Weight: 200

|-

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.

|style="background:pink"|Kata:     Attack<br/>

Ka Weight: 550<br/>

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

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.

| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KA SPRONGMA <target> <bodypart></tt>

|style="background:pink"|Kata:     Action<br/>

Ka Weight: 500<br/>

Bodypart: Chest, Gut

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.

| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KA AMIHAI</tt>

|style="background:pink"|Kata:     Action<br/>

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

For a period of time, you will be riled up with the fury of the scorpion, giving you the physical energy to put the following modifiers in all of your attacks: nekcree, shocree, and creehai.

|style="background:pink"|Kata:     Action<br/>

Ka Weight: 1500<br/>

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

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.
