Shofa

Syntax:
KA SHOFA <target> <bodypart> LEFT|RIGHT (For players)

KA SHOFA <target> RIGHT|LEFT (For bashing NPCs.)

Kata: Action

Ka Weight: 75
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.

Skive

Syntax:
KATA DEVELOP <form> MODIFIERS SKIVE
Power: 3 (Any)

Kata: Modifier
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

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 SMASH and another called DESTROY. Normally you could string these together using this syntax:
KATA PERFORM ROARK SMASH DESTROY

If you do not have enough momentum to support the ka cost of DESTROY then you boost your momentum by a level for 5 power. You use + to do this. For example:
KATA PERFORM ROARK SMASH +DESTROY

You can boost multiple forms. For example, if you lack the momentum for both SMASH and DESTROY then you could boost both for a sum cost of 10 power with this syntax:
KATA PERFORM ROARK +SMASH +DESTROY

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 SMASH form then you could spend 10 power to do the following:
KATA PERFORM ROARK ++SMASH DESTROY

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

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

Ka Weight: 175
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

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:
KA SHOTAH <target> <bodypart>

KA SHOTAH AIR

Kata: Action

Ka Weight: 350
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

Syntax:
KA DISARM
Kata: Action

Ka Weight: 50
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

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

Ka Weight: 100
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

Syntax:
KA BOGAMI <target>
Kata: Action

Ka Weight: 175
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

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>

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

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

Ka Weight: 100
Bodypart: Head

By smashing the side of your staghorn shofa into your opponent's jaw, you can render it useless.

Additional Notes:
Gives the broken jaw affliction which causes small amounts of damage when the victim eats or drinks.

Rake

Syntax:
KATA DEVELOP <form> MODIFIERS RAKE
Kata: Modifier

Ka Weight: 75
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

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

Ka Weight: 125
Bodypart: Head

A short slice across the forehead of your opponent will cause blood to spill into his eyes, blinding him.

HeelSlam

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

Ka Weight: 275
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

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

Ka Weight: 400
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

Syntax:
KATA DEVELOP <form> MODIFIERS SHOFLAI
Kata: Modifier

Ka Weight: 200
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

Syntax:
KA TOMATI <target> <bodypart>
Kata: Action

Ka Weight: 150
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

Syntax:
KATA DEVELOP <form> MODIFIERS BULLSTRENGTH
Kata: Modifier

Ka Weight: 100
Bodypart: Head, Chest, Gut, Rarm, Larm, Rleg, Lleg

This modifier is for kicks only. It has a chance of increasing the damage done by the kick. In addition, it also has a chance to break a bone if targetted at the chest or limbs.

Hook

Syntax:
KA DEVELOP <form> MODIFIERS HOOK
Kata: Modifier

Ka Weight: 150
Bodypart: Rleg, Lleg

This move will trip your foe and possibly stun. The chance to stun increases with the wounds on the struck body part. It only works on actions using shofa blades.

Shred

Syntax:
KA SHRED
Kata: Action

Ka Weight: 200

End a shofa blade grapple by shredding the flesh. This causes excessive bleeding. This move will cause you to lose some momentum.

Boganj

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

Ka Weight: 150
Bodypart: Rarm, Larm, Rleg, Lleg

Clubbing the blade of your knife against an opponent's knee, you can shatter his kneecap, inhibiting a change of combat stance. For arms, it can crack the elbow, inhibiting parries.

Ram

Syntax:
KA RAM <wall>

KA RAM <direction of wall>
KA RAM <person>

If a wall blocks your exit, you can destroy it by ramming into it. If a person blocks your exit, you can ram into him, disrupting his blockade.

Kumati

Syntax:
KA KUMATI <target> <bodypart>
Kata: Action

Ka Weight: 100
Bodypart: Chest

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

Crunch

Syntax:
KA CRUNCH
Kata: Action

Ka Weight: 275
Bodypart: Head, Chest, Gut, Rarm, Larm, Rleg, Lleg

With a body part grappled, you can crunch it against a knee. This is relatively ineffectual 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.

Kumaki

Syntax:
KATA DEVELOP <form> MODIFIERS KUMAKI
Kata: Modifier

Ka Weight: 100
Bodypart: Chest

When striking at the chest, you can jab your shofa quickly into the spine of your opponent and strike the nerves, causing paralysis. Only works on actions using shofa blades.

Buck

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

Ka Weight: 400
Bodypart: Head, Chest, Gut, Rarm, Larm, Rleg, Lleg

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.

Kumato

Syntax:
KA KUMATO
Kata: Action

Ka Weight: 250
Bodypart: Chest

When holding an opponent with two shofa grapples, you can drive your blades into his ribs and rip them apart, sending him flying through the air and out of sight.

BullKick

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

Ka Weight: 200
Bodypart: Head, Chest, Gut

A powerful kick into the main body of your opponent can send them sprawling through the air and out of the line of combat, wounding them in the process.

Additional Notes:
The direction is chosen randomly.

BullCharge

Syntax:
KA BULLCHARGE <target>
Power: 3 (Moonhart Tree)

Summoning the incredible momentum that a bull can muster, you can charge into your target from an adjacent room and knock him to the floor, causing damage in the process as you grapple him with a dual kumati.

BullRage

Syntax:
KA BULLRAGE
Power: 10 (Moonhart Tree)

For a period of time, you will be riled up with the bull rage, giving you the physical energy to put every potential modifier in all kata forms you perform.
