Technique Name: Exert Pressure
Technique Description: By exerting his reiatsu, Okami has trained himself how to hamper or even stop his opponent’s ability to fight for a short time. This is accomplished by focusing on the enemy and forcing all of the pressure upon them, instead of the passive method of simply using the power gap. This effectively lowers the opponent’s AR by -2 when used on someone with the same AR or lower, scaling to -1 if his opponent’s reiatsu is higher and -3 if his opponent is significantly weaker. Takes 1 post after declaration to take effect, then lasts for 2 turns, requiring a 5 post cooldown . This effect stacks with the natural differences in strength, and do not take bonuses into account.
Technique Effect Chart:
Opponent is Two+ Tiers Lower: The opponent is crushed under the weight of Okami’s reiatsu, breaking multiple ribs under the strain of the simple effort to breathe. Lowers the affected person’s base AR by -3, and causes moderate damage.
Opponent is One Tier Lower: Opponent struggles to move, as their bones creak and their muscles tear under the pressure of Okami’s reiatsu. They have trouble holding up their sword, and fighting is a struggle. Lowers the affected person’s base AR to -3, and causes light damage.
Opponent is Equal Tier: Okami’s foe notices a significant decrease in his muscles’ response time accompanying large, painful muscle spasms, as Okami seems to move at an accelerated rate. His attacks seem to hit harder, and the opponent feels winded and can’t catch their breath. Opponent’s base AR is lowered to -2, and cannot concentrate enough to use Kidou.
Opponent is One Tier Higher: The opponent becomes nervous from Okami’s display of strength, and their reiatsu fluctuates to reflect this. Muscles will start to ache as if bruised, as their breath seems to be whipped away from their mouths. Opponent’s base AR is reduced by -1, putting the combatants on equal footing and preventing Kidou from being cast.
Opponent is Two+ Tiers Higher: Okami’s sudden burst of power surprises the enemy, putting them off their guard. Openings begin to present themselves, and the opponent can’t seem to concentrate on the fight at hand. Base AR is lowered by -1, and Kidou isn’t a possibility for 1 post.
Thought I should check and make sure this is okay. Also, I was wondering if I have to post every technique here during character creation, or just extra ones learned IC.
