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.
 
==Skive==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KATA DEVELOP <form> MODIFIERS SKIVE</tt>
|-
|style="background:pink"|Power: 3 (Any)<br/>
Kata:      Modifier<br/>
Ka Weight: 0
|-
|}
 
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 boost your damage and wounds.
 
==Boost==
 
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Power: 5 or 10 (Moonhart Mother 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/>
<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.
 
==Logami==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KA LOGAMI <target> <bodypart> LEFT|RIGHT</tt>
|-
|style="background:pink"|Kata:      Action<br/>
Ka Weight: 175<br/>
Bodypart:  Rarm, Larm
|-
|}
 
You can lock the left and right arm of another with the logami attack. A locked arm remains locked until the target writhes free. While an arm is locked, it will be significantly slower moving than normal. This move requires you to use both blades at the same time, bring them down on either side of your opponent.
 
==Gripping==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>GRIP</tt><br/>
<tt>RELAX GRIP</tt>
|-
|}
While using this ability, you will prevent items from being knocked out of your grip. Relax when you want to unwield.
 
==Shotah==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KA SHOTAH <target> <bodypart></tt><br/>
<tt>KA SHOTAH AIR</tt>
|-
|style="background:pink"|Kata:      Action<br/>
Ka Weight: 350<br/>
Bodypart:  Head, Gut, Chest, Rarm, Larm, Rleg, Lleg
|-
|}
 
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.
 
==Disarm==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KA DISARM</tt>
|-
|style="background:pink"|Kata:      Action<br/>
Ka Weight: 50<br/>
Bodypart:  Rarm, Larm
|-
|}
 
When grappling the arms with your shofa, you can rip them out of the arms and, at the same time, hook the target's wielded weapons with your shofa, and pull that weapon out of your target's hands. The weapon would be dropped in that person's inventory. This move will cause you to lose some momentum.
 
==Stomp==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KA STOMP <target> <bodypart> LEFT|RIGHT</tt>
|-
|style="background:pink"|Kata:      Action<br/>
Ka Weight: 100<br/>
Bodypart:  Head, Chest, Gut, Rarm, Larm, Rleg, Lleg
|-
|}
 
Like an angry bull, you can stomp on the feet of others, crushing their foot. If the target is prone then you can stomp any body part. Then it will cause a broken jaw (head), snapped rib (chest), loss of balance (gut), or a broken limb (legs and arms).
 
==Bogami==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KA BOGAMI <target></tt>
|-
|style="background:pink"|Kata:      Action<br/>
Ka Weight: 175<br/>
Bodypart:  Rleg, Lleg
|-
|}
 
A subtle maneuver with your shofa allows you to lean in and lock up both of your opponent's legs, stopping them from moving. This move requires you to use both blades at the same time, bring them down on either side of your opponent.
 
==BullSnort==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KA BULLSNORT <target></tt>
|-
|}
By summoning the spirit of the bull inside yourself and snorting haughtily, you will bewilder your opponent and throw him off equilibrium.
 
==HeadButt==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KA HEADBUTT <target></tt>
|-
|}
With the graceful leap of a bull, you can slam your head down upon your opponent's face. This can be used regardless of the state of your other limbs. Be aware that the attack is a weak one and will frequently be shrugged off by your opponent.
 
==Butanj==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KA BUTANJ <target> <bodypart> LEFT|RIGHT</tt>
|-
|style="background:pink"|Kata:      Action<br/>
Ka Weight: 100<br/>
Bodypart:  Head
|-
|}
 
By smashing the side of your staghorn shofa into your opponent's jaw, you can render it useless.
 
==Rake==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KATA DEVELOP <form> MODIFIERS RAKE</tt>
|-
|style="background:pink"|Kata:      Modifier<br/>
Ka Weight: 75<br/>
Bodypart:  Head, Chest, Gut, Rarm, Larm, Rleg, Lleg
|-
|}
 
When using your shofa to attack opponents, you can rake the edge of the blade across your opponent's body and cause deep wounds that bleed profusely. When used against limbs, there is a chance of lacerating that limb. Only works on actions using shofa blades.
 
==Whibuta==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KA WHIBUTA <target> <bodypart> LEFT|RIGHT</tt>
|-
|style="background:pink"|Kata:      Action<br/>
Ka Weight: 125<br/>
Bodypart:  Head
|-
|}
 
A short slice across the forehead of your opponent will cause blood to spill into his eyes, blinding him.
 
==HeelSlam==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KA HEELSLAM <target> <bodypart> LEFT|RIGHT</tt>
|-
|style="background:pink"|Kata:      Action<br/>
Ka Weight: 275<br/>
Bodypart:  Head, Chest, Gut, Rarm, Larm, Rleg, Lleg
|-
|}
 
This kick has a variety of affects based on what it hits, including breaking the skull or chest, throwing balance, or dislocating a limb. This move will cause you to lose some momentum.
 
==Butojo==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KA BUTOJO <target> <bodypart> LEFT|RIGHT</tt>
|-
|style="background:pink"|Kata:      Action<br/>
Ka Weight: 400<br/>
Bodypart:  Head
|-
|}
 
With a twisting lateral swing of the shofa, you can slice through the cheek of another, shredding the tongue and stripping the power of speech. If you have reached momentum level 4 then it will slit the throat (interfering with speaking and eating) and lose some momentum.
 
==Shoflai==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KATA DEVELOP <form> MODIFIERS SHOFLAI</tt>
|-
|style="background:pink"|Kata:      Modifier<br/>
Ka Weight: 200<br/>
Bodypart:  Head, Chest, Gut, Rarm, Larm, Rleg, Lleg
|-
|}
 
This modifier that can be stacked onto most one-handed Shofangi attacks will flay the flesh, briefly preventing the application of dermal salves.
 
==Tomati==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KA TOMATI <target> <bodypart></tt>
|-
|style="background:pink"|Kata:      Action<br/>
Ka Weight: 150<br/>
Bodypart:  Gut
|-
|}
 
Stepping lithely forward, you can insert your shofa deep into your opponent's gut, ending in a tight grappling maneuver. While the blade remains in your foe's gut, he will suffer from slower balance recovery.
 
==BullStrength==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>KATA DEVELOP <form> MODIFIERS BULLSTRENGTH</tt>
|-
|style="background:pink"|Kata:      Modifier<br/>
Ka Weight: 100<br/>
Bodypart:  Head, Chest, Gut, Rarm, Larm, Rleg, Lleg
|-
|}

Using your blades, you can now easily scale to the top of the trees and keep yourself up there. You also will be harder to move while in forested environments. Lastly, being in the trees above a target will greatly reduce the bleeding needed to finish off an opponent with crunch.

By stabbing your shofa blades deep into the chest of your opponent, you can not only cause intense bleeding, but also end the maneuvere in a tight grappling position.
{{AB

Bonus Effect: deals 30 bleed to target.
<br><br>
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>
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 targets hemorrhaging to bleeding. This cannot be done on full actions.

You can build up to 850 hemorrhaging on a target
<br>
If you burst a target with greater than 750 hemorrhaging, it will put them into a weakened state temporarily. During that time, using Crunch will instantly kill them.

With a body part grappled, you can crunch it against a knee. This is relatively inneffectual against most body parts other than the head. When used against the head, there is a chance that you will crush the skull. This move ends your grapple. The more times you crunch someone's head and the more damaged the head is, the more likely it is to be crushed. This move causes you to lose some momentum.

This strong kick will do heavy damage to the body, including blackout, crushed chest, ruptured stomach, and mangled limbs (if used in a kata form). Note that if used outside a kata form, it will not be strong enough to mangle a limb and instead will merely wound. This move will cause you to lose some momentum, and even more than normal should it succeed in mangling a limb.

Shofa

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

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

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.


Logami

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

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

You can lock down an opponent with the Logami grapple. Locking the arms will slow their balance while locking the head will damage the skull and blind them.

Head: DamagedSkull and Blindness.
Chest: 75 bleeding.
Gut: Internalbleeding and Sickening.
Limbs: -5/-8 balance malus while grappled.


Gripping

Syntax
GRIP

RELAX GRIP

While using this ability, you will prevent items from being knocked out of your grip. Relax when you want to unwield.


Shotah

Syntax
KATA PERFORM <target> <form> SHOTAH
Power: 2 (Moonhart Tree)

Using this form, you will regress a stance instead of advancing. You cannot regress from your base stance to your killer stance.


Shofangtree

This skill was not taught to the commune by the original kephera. It was learned and developed over time. Using your blades, you can now easily scale to the top of the trees and keep yourself up there. You also will be harder to move while in forested environments. Lastly, being in the trees above a target will greatly reduce the bleeding needed to finish off an opponent with crunch.


Stomp

Syntax
KA STOMP <target> <bodypart> LEFT|RIGHT
Kata: Leg Action

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

Like an angry bull, you can stomp on the feet of others, crushing their foot. This move is unable to be used first or second in your kata form, so you'll have to use it third.
If the target is not prone and can parry, this will prone them. If they are already prone or cannot parry, it will do the following:

Head: 2s equilibrium loss
Chest: Rigormortis
Gut: Dysentery
Arms: Delay ice cure by two wound levels
Legs: 2s balance loss


Bogami

Syntax
KA BOGAMI <target>
Kata: Grapple Ender

Bodypart: Head, Gut, LArm, RArm, Lleg, Rleg
Stance: Twist

A subtle maneuver with your shofa allows you to lean in and lock up your opponent, stopping them from moving. This move requires you to use both blades at the same time.
Head: Blind
Gut: Doubles bleeding.
Arms: 1s arm balance loss
Legs: If prone, 1s stun, otherwise it prones.


BullSnort

Syntax
KA BULLSNORT <target>

By summoning the spirit of the bull inside yourself and snorting haughtily, you will bewilder your opponent and throw him off equilibrium.


HeadButt

Syntax
KA HEADBUTT <target>
Power: 3 (Mother Moonhart)

By focusing your energy on Bull, you can slam your head into your opponent, causing them to see stars and blackout. Your head must be on balance for this.
Effect: 5s blackout



Rake

This is the advanced version of the Base stance.

Bonus Effect: deals 30 bleed to target.

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. This cannot be done on full actions.


Syntax
KATA PERFORM <target> <form> BURST
Power: 2 (Mother Moonhart)

Afflictions: DamagedSkull, Rigormortis, Healthleech, Clumsiness.
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 Crunch will instantly kill them.


HeelSlam

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

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