New Techniques

By ElricOfMelnibone, in Anima: Beyond Fantasy RPG

Holy Zhorne riding Rudraskha fighting Omega whilst conversing with Millenium! That last technique in the Microbes world tree is truly the ultimate defence!

As you say Do unto others as you suggest it would be really great (if I play the tree I'll probably use that one), despite of its high cost. In fact looking over some of the other trees in this thread 32/32/32 isn't so bad for a great defensive technique.

This whole thing got me thinking about that question though; Would a Predetermined shield get the -40 penalty for defending you while you are damage resistant ?(or had damage accumulation as some might call it) I understand that you get a penalty to your roll while defending yourself with an energy-shield while damage-resistant but if there is no roll do you still get the penalty? Or is it simply a matter of GM interpretation?

To Rudeboygraves: I think it would be fairly easy to do most of the Naruto ninjutsu with pretty basic stuff and some ki abilities. (multiplication of bodies + physical change = harem no jutsu HueHueHue)

Sorry BAoT, you had already asked about the Predetermined Shield on a Damage Accumulation (more correct traduction from the original Spanish...I'm just TOO used to call it this way, forgive me), and I simply FORGOT IT! As I rule Predetermined Rolls, I don't apply any bonus-penalty to them (except for very specific ones granted by Magnus I made or Artifacts designed specifically to boost Predetermined Rolls), so my answer is no...440 is 440, no more, no less. Which is pretty nice roll when the damage that passes by thanks to a HUGE roll (probably boosted through techniques/magnus) has to deal with a sky-high AT and can be absorbed by an enormous amount of regenerating HPs...

I don't know anything about Naruto (just ignored it...I'm already sick with Bleach...no offense BAoT, I liked it in the beginning and now I only read it to see how it ends...mostly to see it end...so I'm avoiding other everlasting shonen mangas), so I cannot help with Rudeboygraves' question, sorry.

Aa, I see, Predetermined defence in combination with Damage resistance is truly a force to be reckoned with! Gives me some nice ideas.

I have read some Naruto but I stopped some way into shippuden so I might be able to help Rudeboygraves with some of the characters techniques and abilities as they appear before shippuden. I don't have that much spare time though so it might take some time...

Which characters are you interested in?

I'm currently trying to put together every technique in the show, but I would like to see how others would do it.

Hello everyone, I'm relatively new to Anima and I'm enjoying it a lot. I was wondering if I understood how to make Ki Techniques since I'm pretty much the only person in the group delving into Ki a lot. Here is a sample technique I made

Paper Bomb

Creates an Energy Kunai using ki. Attached is a talisman that will explode on contact dealing Elemental Damage equal to twice the character's Base Presence plus his Power Bonus.

Required MK : 20 Level : 1

POW 3 DEX 3 WP 2 STR 2

Effects : Energy, Elemental, Area Attack (Single) 3 feet

I'd like to know if you are required to specify the element or if it can be chosen at the time the Paper Bomb is made. I also really don't know if I'm doing the Ki cost correctly. I appreciate the help!

Welcome!

You should choose the Element when you create the technique. Also I can't see how the technique has that cost. I suggest you to spread its cost amongst 3 stats. It could be something like Dex4/Pow5/Wil5.

Oh, I forgot to include Physical Ki Weapons being the primary ability. Also fixed the ki distribution... I think.

Paper Bomb
Creates an Energy Kunai using ki. Attached is a talisman that will explode on contact dealing Fire Damage equal to twice the character's Base Presence plus his Power Bonus.
Required MK : 20 Level : 1
POW 4 DEX 3 WP 4 CON 3
Effects : Physical Ki Weapon, Energy Damaging Attack, Elemental Attack (Fire), Area Attack (Single) 3 feet
Also as an alternative, would dropping Energy Damaging Attack to lower Ki cost be better overall?

Do you have Aura Extension?

Hello everyone, I've made a new tech tree for one of my character in a camp and this one is based on Starkiller from the Force Unleashed Games. And yes, I know a mentalist character would be a good idea for this concept, but I went with a tech ditching the mental aspects of the force.... ANYWAY.... I know that this "tree" is gonna seem too big, but it designed so that it CAN'T be mastered normally. Technically it is 3 trees in one, and the lvl requirements can be crossed by getting different techniques from different areas. So a lvl 1 from general, and one from light side/dark side, and then they could get a lvl 2 from any of the 3 areas.

So here it is, let me know what you think:

Force Powers

Once long ago, in time immemorial, a group of travelers came from beyond the stars to Gaia, their reasons for coming are lost to the ages. But while here, they discovered that almost all that reside on the world had the ability to tap into a vast energy know to the travelers as “The Force,” though to those on Gaia it was known as Ki. They taught those they deemed worthy what they knew before they left. As ages past, much of that knowledge has been lost, but a few schools were able to maintain the cores of their teachings.

I find these techniques really interesting. I'll surely adjust them to my taste( i don't use the Ki unification rules) in order to add them to my collection by employing Dominus Exxet. Excellent work, nevertheless, really!

Hey everybody! I know this is an old thread and I don't know if anyone else is still watching it, but I figured this was worth posting. I am an anime nerd as well as an anima nerd and was thinking about the two when this occurred to me. What follows is an anima consistent description of the forbidden technique schools created by Genma in the anime Ranma 1/2. It contains no actual mechanics, as I am very bad at writing those.

There are two central beliefs that define the Anything Goes style of martial arts. Firstly, as the name implies, any action is permissible so long as it aids you in winning a fight. Secondly, all forms of competition are battles at heart. This is perhaps best shown by Genma Saotome in his creation of two sets of techniques that follow the principles of theft as battle and battle as theft.

Imagine the body as a house, he says in his record of these techniques. There are alert guards in the form of the eyes, ears, nose, skin, and mouth. If alerted there are mighty warriors in the form of the fists, feet, elbows, and knees. There are passive defences the ribs, muscles and so on. Finally there are the valuables, the organs. How would a thief break into this building and take these valuables? His two technique trees are based on two answers to this question.

The first, which he named the Umisenken, was "The thief would move quietly. He would avoid the watchers, and thus never face the guards. He would move around the passive defences slowly and cautiously, take his target and leave by the same route. Ideally no one will ever even know he was there."

The second, which he named the Yamasenken was "The thief would move loudly and with great speed. He would burst through the front gates, destroying the alarms on the way if possible. He would break through the walls and gates in his way with force, grab his goal, and charge right back out the front gates. Ideally he will be far away with his treasure by the time the guards have arrived."
