Tech Points: 6
Usage: Active
Prerequisites: Twin Blade, Break Weapon

Tech Points: 10
Usage: Active
Prerequisites: Anticipation I, Anticipation II, Dodge 3+

Effect: By spending a Gaia Point on this attack, and successfully hitting his opponent, the character may later deal an equal amount of Damage to the opponent simply by spending another Gaia Point. The user may do this even if the opponent is not in sight. The user loses this ability if he does not use it for 3 full minutes(12 Rounds, or 36 Phases), is knocked unconscious, or runs out of Gaia.
Tech Points: 12
Usage: Active
Prerequisites: Fatal Strike I, Precision Strike II, Healing 2+
Effect: The user may add his Healing Skill Rank x 2 to the Damage of this Attack.
Tech Points: 8
Usage: Active
Prerequisites: Great Blow
Effect: By taking a Light Wound, the user may add their Strength Scale to the Damage of their Attack. In addition, if the Attack hits, any Passive Defense values used to boost the TN are not used when calculating MoS, though they are used to determine if the Attack hit. A Finishing Strike must be declared before the Attack roll.
Tech Points: 16
Usage: Active
Prerequisites: Instinct Strike, Spirit Strike
Effect: Using this Technique requires spending a Gaia Point. Firstly, the user may add his Will Scale to his to hit rolls. In addition, he may spend Backlash to ignore an amount of his opponent's Passive Defense equal to 1 point per 2 points of Backlash, or apply a penalty to the opponent's Active Defense(up to a number equal to his normal Passive Defense). The effects of this Technique last 3 Phases.
Tech Points: 20
Usage: Passive
Prerequisites: Compensation, Focus, Instinct Strike
Effect: The character suffers no penalties to hit from adverse conditions, only from Wound Penalties. He is still penalized for Called Shots or Bypassing Armor. He ignores up to 3 points worth of Armor Penalties, and reduces Concealment of opponents by 5.
Tech Points: 13
Usage: Passive
Prerequisites: Ignore Wound I
Effect: As Ignore Wound I, but the Wound Penalty may be reduced by 2 points.
Tech Points: 20
Usage: Active
Prerequisites: Flurry Attack, Focus, Spirit Strike
Effect: This Technique is used by spending 2 ammunition on a single attack and sacrificing the use of all Passive Techniques for the Phase. The Attack is resolved normally, but a second Attack is performed immediately afterward, using the roll of the first Attack. The Damage of this second Attack is equal to the normal weapon Damage, but with an MoS of half the MoS of the first Attack(round down), and ignores armor completely, even if the first Attack did not penetrate the armor. This Technique costs 1 Gaia Point to use.
Tech Points: 20
Usage: Active
Prerequisites: Musical Instrument 4, Singing 2, Flurry Attack
Effect: By bringing his body into sync with Gaia itself, the user can affect the ability of others to utilize their full potential. Unlike other ``Active'' Techniques, Keening may be used for as many Phases as the character wishes. The character may not use any other Techniques while Keening, not even Passive Techniques, but neither can any other person within a number of yards equal to the user's Spirit Scale x 10. Characters other than the user may elect to spend a Gaia Point to use Techniques normally for that Phase. The character who is Keening may not use any Techniques in the Round before or the Round after using Keening.
Tech Points: 20
Usage: Active
Prerequisites: Anticipation II, Focus, Compensation
Effect: By spending a Gaia Point, the character may instantly perform any Technique he has seen used in the last 3 Phases. Techniques which are performed by using Mimicry cannot be Mimicked, nor can any Technique which explicitly requires a weapon(Death Rain, etc.). The character can only Mimic Active Techniques.
Tech Points: 20
Usage: Active
Prerequisites: Flurry Attack, Focus, Instinct Strike
Effect: The character may not use any Passive Techniques in the Phase in which this Technique is used. To use this Technique, the character makes a normal Attack. If the to hit roll exceeds the target's normal TN to be Hit(unmodified by Passive Defenses), the user gains another Attack using the first Attack's hit roll minus 2. This continues until the Attack total falls below the target's normal TN to be Hit. The target may continue to use Passive Defenses until all are expended.
Example: Tristan gets a 22 total to hit his opponent, who has an 8 Parry, 4 Dodge, 2 Parries per Phase, and a 13 TN to be hit. The first strike hits(13 + 8 = 21 vs 22), the second misses with a 20 total. With the third strike, Tristan has an 18 total and the target, with no Parries left and one Dodge left this Round, opts to use the Dodge to give a total TN of 17, so Tristan still hits. Tristan hits yet again with the fourth strike, as his total of 16 beats the target's now unmodified TN of 13. His fifth strike, a 14 total, hits as well. He does not get a sixth Attack, as his 12 total cannot beat the target's TN of 13. Tristan hit a total of four times, with the MoS of the Attacks being 1, 1, 3, and 1.

Tech Points: 8
Usage: Active
Prerequisites: Focus, Instinct Strike, Steel Wall
Effect: If the user Attacks an opponent first in the Phase he is using this Technique, and hits, he may add the MoS of the Attack to his TN to be Hit by that opponent for the next 3 Phases. If the opponent Attacks first, and misses, the user of this Technique adds the amount by which the opponent missed to his Attack roll to hit the opponent for the next 3 Phases.
Tech Points: 16
Usage: Active
Prerequisites: Fatal Strike I, Great Blow, Overpower
Effect: The user spends a Gaia Point and makes an Attack. If successful, the MoS is not applied to Damage, but the Attack instead does an amount of Backlash equal to (MoS +1) x (target's Magic Rank + 1), in addition to doing the Base Damage of the weapon in actual Damage. Creatures without a Magic Rank specified use their (Backlash / 2) / Spirit Scale to find a substitute value.
Tech Points: 12
Usage: Active
Prerequisites: Focus, Power Thrust II(or Precision Strike II for Archery/Thrown Weapon Skills)
Effect: The user may spend Backlash at a rate of 2 Backlash per extra Damage point to raise the Damage of an Attack. This may be done up to 7 times for a single Attack, and may be declared after the to hit roll.

Usage: Active
Prerequisites: Second Strike, Flurry Attack

Tech Points: 20
Usage: Active
Prerequisites: Focus, Gaia's Strength, Smite
Effect: By spending a Gaia Point, the user automatically hits, rolling a number of dice equal to his Reflexes Scale and taking the best roll as his MoS. This die roll is not added to an Attribute, resulting in an MoS from 1 to 10(or 12, or 14, or higher, if multiple 10s are rolled). Any Called Shot or Armor Bypass Penalties are applied to the MoS, and may result in a negative MoS or even reducing Damage to 0.
