Free Iwa & Yuki Skill

[cntrstrk14]

Iwagakure no Sato has a mantra that every stone can hold the mountain. It is for the greater good of the whole that the sacrifices of the few will be weathered. Their great talent with the earth itself and their defensive Taijutsu style shows that their fortitude is more than just words.

 

 

Characters who start in Iwagakure get to choose

-one- of the following skills to learn for free.

 

Subtle Elements; Earth
Effect: May use Earth element techniques. Whenever an Earth Element technique is used, the user gains +8 to their Block Range on the following turn. This ability cannot stack with itself. All 5 'Subtle Element' skills share ranks.
Cost: ⁿ/ₐ
 
Mountain Ox Style
A good offense is the best defense, and the Mountain Ox Style takes this philosophy to the mat, literally. This martial art makes use of low attacks, grapples and throws that keep a low center of gravity and strong hand techniques, notably the bridge hand and the versatile tiger claw. Students of this style often spend hours in training only standing in a single low stance, which builds strength and focus. Mountain Ox Style is sometimes mis-characterized as solely external; that is, reliant on brute physical force; even though the student advances progressively towards an internal focus.
Effect: The user of the Ox Style gains an Ox Charge each time they use an Ox Style technique instead of when they land a successful hit. Ox Charges may be spent in one of the three following ways.
1. The user may spend an Ox Charge during their Main Phase to increase the damage of an Mountain Ox Style technique by 5x% as well as increasing their Defense stat by 10x% until their following Main Phase, where x is the amount of charges spent.
2. The user may perform a technique that requires the use of Ox Charges.
Requirements: Iwagakure Ninja or 5 post training session with a ninja who already knows this skill.
Cost: ⁿ/ₐ

 

 

Characters who are from Yukigakure and start in Iwagakure

In addition, the user may choose to apply the bonus from one of the Subtle Elements skills required to learn this element if they own it.
