And Mari's trump card....<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Marise Hyuuga Ryuu: Secret Skill- Tenketsu Severing Style <br/>    Taijutsu (Strike; Requires Byakugan (a), Chakra Scalpel (a), Chakra Control 11 ranks, Knowledge (earth and life sciences) 11 ranks, Taijutsu 11 ranks, Hyuuga Ryuu- Jyuuken - Nidan Dachi (3)) [Marise Hyuuga Hijutsu] <br/>    Rank: 8 (S-Class); Learn DC: 24, 6 success; Perform requirements: 12 ranks (DC 18); Time: 1 move action; Components: C, M; Range: Touch; Saving Throws: -; Chakra Cost: 6<br/>    <br/>    This stance can only be activated while the user's Byakugan and Chakra Scalpel is active. The user is able to make<br/>    Tenketsu-Uchi attacks while in this stance. A Tenketsu-Uchi attack is a touch attack that deals damage equal to the user's chakra scalpel damage, and counts as chakra-enhanced for the purpose of bypassing damage reduction. The character doesn't apply his strength modifier when making a Tenektsu-Uchi attack and cannot deal non-lethal damage. Attacks made in the Tenketsu-Uchi stance are modifiered by the user's wisdom score.<br/>    <br/>    The damage dealt is cumulative and all Tenketsu-Uchi attacks dealt by the user to a single target one round is treated as one attack. For example, a creature with damage reduction 8/- hit for 3, 2 and 6 damage would suffer 3 damage instead of 0.<br/>    <br/>    Tenketsu-Uchi attacks deal half again as much damage to objects created by chakra and chakra constructs, such as clones or weapons summoned by the Yaibaki no Kuchiyose technique, but not summoned creatures. Each attack has a 25% chance to damage incorporeal creatures.<br/>    <br/>    While in this stance, the user is able to use the Tenketsu Cut ability once per encounter. This counts as a use of the Tenketsu Sealing ability for the purposes of expending daily use. If the user already has the Tenketsu Sealing ability, he may use it or Tenketsu Cut once per encounter without expending one of the daily use of these abilities.<br/>    <br/>    Tenketsu Cut (Su): Up to four times per day, the character may activate this ability as a swift action as long as his Byakugan is active. This ability enables the character to directly see the chakra coil system of anything it focuses his eyes on.<br/>    <br/>    The tenketsu sealing ability grants the character a +1 bonus to attack rolls made in any Tenketsu-Uchi stance, and every successful Tenketsu-Uchi attack deals 1 tenketsu damage to the target unless it succeeds a Fortitude save (DC 10 + ½ character's level + character's Wisdom modifier). This damage is permanent and cannot be healed with bed rest, only medical techniques.<br/>    <br/>    In addition, the opponenet loses 1 point of chakra for 1d4 rounds for every point of tenketsu damage they have taken.<br/>    <br/>    On a confirmed critical hit, the Tenketsu-Uchi attack deals 2 tenketsu damage (or 3 if the character's critical multiplier is x3, 4 if it is x4, and so on). Tenketsu damage to chakra created constructs and objects does not apply—instead, each point of tenketsu damage dealt deals 1 point of damage to the target. The ability lasts for 1 round when activated.<br/>    <br/>    Mastery<br/>    Each step of mastery in this technique increases the chance the user has to damage an incorporeal creature by 5%.<br/>    The second and fourth step of mastery in this technique increases the amount of times the user gains use of the Tenketsu Sealing ability per encounter by 1.<br/>    The fifth step of mastery in this technique grants the user +1 bonus to damage rolls with Tenketsu-Uchi attacks.</div></div>
