Atemi-Waza

Atemi-Waza is the ancestor of modern karate and focusses on swift, powerful attacks.

Prerequisites

To learn Atemi-Waza, a character must have at least one add in Maneuver and must swear an oath of secrecy.

Palm Strike: This attack does STR+3.
Crushing Block: The Crushing Block maneuver is a variant of active defense. An active defense roll is made as usual. If a Melee Weapons, Martial Arts, or Unarmed Combat attack on the Blocking character fails, the attacker takes Defender's STR+3 damage.
Stop Thrust: This active defense is aimed at one attacker. If that attacker misses, then they are Unskilled for the next round.
Sweeping Kick: This attack does a Knock Down if successful; this KD may not be bought off.
Stunning Attack: This attack does +2 damage, but Knock Downs are ignored, and the first wound becomes a Knock Down result.
Posion Immunity: +3 TOU vs. poison.
Whirling Attack: One roll is made for this attack. Anyone within 4 meters may be attacked (or not, at character's discretion) without One On Many penalties. It does STR+2 damage.
Thunder Kick: This costs one P-point and does +5 damage.
