Free Oto Skill

[cntrstrk14]

Otogakure no Sato has a colorful history and is home to some of the most

free spirits that have lived on the continent. Despite having been formed

as a crime ring, the Country of Rice has grown in its own right to form

a community that supports one another.

Just sometimes they also steal from each other...

 

 

Characters who start in Otogakure get to choose

Serpent Style
To control one’s attacker you must control their joints and pressure points. Thus is the philosophy of the Serpent Style, which uses a series of setup strikes to build openings in an opponent which can lead to more devastating attacks as well. By taking advantage of join manipulating strikes and pressure points on the opponent’s body, a user of this style can chip away at their opponent’s defense and create their own openings that will lead to even further punishment to the enemy. This style was derived from a very harsh Judo philosophy that originated in Denchi no Kuni. Taught and practiced by farmers as they traveled between villages for trade to help protect them from bandits, the users of this style would often find themselves against opponent’s who were stronger. It was because of this that the style evolved as it did.
Effect: Venom Charges reward the user bonuses based on the amount of charges that they currently have. If a user is ever struck by a critical hit from an opponent they immediately loose all Venom Charges they have.
0 Charges: No bonus.
1 Charge: The user gains +4% chance to Critical Strike with all Taijutsu techniques.
2 Charges: The user gains +8% chance to Critical Strike with all Taijutsu techniques.
3 Charges: The user gains +12% chance to Critical Strike with all Taijutsu techniques.
4 Charges: The user gains +16% chance to Critical Strike with all Taijutsu techniques.
5 Charges: The user gains +20% chance to Critical Strike with all Taijutsu techniques.
Additionally, the user may at any time during their Main Phase spend x Venom Charges to increase the chance of a single attack to critically strike. The amount of charges spent determines the bonus to the technique (see below). If five (5) charges are spent in this way and the user does not successfully hit any targets with the attack they regain all five spent charges.

One (1) spent Charge gives +8%, two (2) spent Charges gives +20%, three (3) spent Charges gives +50%, four (4) spent Charges gives +90%, and five (5) spent charges gives +100%.
Requirements: Otogakure Ninja or 5 post training session with a ninja who already knows this skill.
