Ah, Vitty...how long has it been...

First of all, here is a suggestion: instead of using Martial Arts as a weapon, I'd rather put the use of a SPECIFIC MARTIAL ART as requirement. If you choose fighting actively using (for instance) Base Shadus as a requirement I'd treat it as a -5MK disadvantage. If you set necessity for using Arcane Shadus, the MK reduction should increase to -10MK. I'd personally stick to Base Shadus for all techniques (including the Armor) except the Level3 technique, which should require Arcane Shadus.

Sword

I'd go for a final ki cost of Dex4/Pow4/Wil4, so that with Base stats at 10 on the three used characteristics, you require only 2 turns to pull it out.

Buzzsaw

Again, I'd go for final ki cost of Dex4/Pow4/Wil4.

Rapier

I'd rather add a -1Ki cost for a final ki cost of Dex9/Pow9/Wil9 and MK cost of 50.

Shadow Armor

Since I'd add the Shadus Martial Art requirement here too, the MK cost would drop to 60.

Black Wing

On my calculations, you can achieve Dex9/Pow9/Wil9 buying just -1Ki. Also, I'd use ARCANE Shadus Martial Art requirement for this one, so the final MK cost would be just 65 (which is just enough for a Level3 technique, anyway.

All in all, this school is very cheap both regarding MK and Ki, so I sincerely like it very much.

Be sure I'll be waiting for the Light Disciplines!

Very interesting. Good job on the techniques. Oh and elric, light disciplins are already up, before shadow skills.

You're right Rybras...but for some reason I didn't see them this morning. Tomorrow I will find time to look at them. Sorry!

At first glance it looks much heavier and more difficult to distribute costs equally between the three stats...but I really don't have time now, so I will check on it later.

OFF TOPIC: Reading again Shadus, I've come to the decision of addying it to the Martial Arts usable with Master version of Tù (Rabbit Impossible Weapon). Since now Mars Impossible Weapon has one less Arcane Martial Art accessible in its Master version, I'd add Tekken to it.

Dammit...I'm working on it now...

Ok, same as before. I chose to make an active use of Leminuse requirement for all techniques (-5MK) except for the last that requires Arcane Leminuse for a -10MK.

BLADE:

I added a -1Ki (MK30) to spend STR3/CON3/POW3.

SLING:

I used STR5/CON5/POW6 and the MK cost should be 45.

SHIELD:

I reduced the Regeneation to 100 per turn and obtained a ki cost of STR8(Mant.2)/CON8(Mant.2)/POW7(Mant.2), that balances the ki cost of Sling and brings the technique to a meager MK cost of 45 (since I added the Leminuse requirement).

MACE:

In order to balance this technique I had to add an effect based on Strength. I chose Major Seal (which is a very fluffy "Light Effect") on the first attack, working just wonderfully with the additional attacks. Since the technique costs 16STR like this, I don' think it's needed adding -2Ki...hence STR16/CON16/POW16 for an MK cost of 90 (because of the -5MK due to the requirement).

FRAY

Since I'm using a -10MK disadvantage my MK count is 115, prior to -1Ki deduction. Since I prefer even MK cost, I added in a -2Fatigue Disadvantage (reducing the cost to 110). Now, I also prefer Maintenance cost to be split evenly so...the result is STR22(Mant.5)/CON22(Mant.5)/POW21(Mant.5). I added a -2Ki obtaining a final MK cost of 130 and Ki cost of STR21(Mant.5)/CON21(Mant.5)/POW21(Mant.5)

I liked this one too a lot, Vitty! Very cool work!

ah yes, i do have some issues with assigning ki costs (my math skills stop dead at about 9 o'clock p.m.). and i was wondering just how to handle martial arts as weapon requirements, but your review looks good.

Bump because it's on 3rd page and here's an update

PS: i dont have DE with me so im using a spreadsheet i found for costs. problem is they didnt put in maintenance costs, so im going to leave the one technique that has maintenance in the hands of whoever can fix it , change as needed to fit in good costs.

now onto the tree!(im not sure if what i wanted to do will work the way i thought)

I felt like making a tech tree for the Virgo Impossible Weapon. Also, alot of the descriptions will be somewhat lame since they are basically just different songs. Enjoy.

Symphonic Unrest :

Symphonic Unrest is a collection of Musical Scores created by those who learned to fight their foes with instruments. Due to the large variation of these harmonic items, each song was made simple enough for any artist to play them on their favorite instrument. The effects of these songs have a strong sway on the body.

Techniques: 5 Cost: 250 MK

NOCTURNE OF ENFEEBLEMENT

this right here is amazing, i was thinking of making a ki tech tree to go with, whats that one ars magnus, libra? virgo? you know the one. but this saves me the trouble, and i like your idea better anyway.

i'll fix that one tech for you tomorrow if elric doesn't get to it first.

Very well...looks like someone summoned me...

First thing, I love tech-trees based on Virgo. I have one in my collection called Stradivarius Magister (uses only Violins), that I don't post because, although I heavily modified it, the original concept is from something posted on the Spanish forum, so I don't own "paternity" over it.

Anyway, this one seems very well done.

Nocturne of Enfeeblement: PERFECT!!!

Discordant Rhapsody: This one is correct too, but you could also pay only 5/5/6 for it (5Dex for +50Attack, then 5+6 Pow+Wil for the esoteric effect). So I'd rather raise the MK cost of the technique to 45 and lower the Ki cost to 5/5/5. This makes so that both Level1 techniques can be used in a single turn with Accumulation5 on the three relevant stats, which is sweet. But, then again, personal liking.

Endless Waltz: Your calculated Ki cost seems a bit too low to me, you remember you must add the maintenance ki cost to the technique ki cost, right? Anyway look, maintenance here is 6+2=8, meaning unbalanced maintenance (3/3/2) on your only maintainable technique, which is uncool. Lucky enough, fixing is simple...take +3 Additional Defenses and the maintenance becomes 3/3/3, as for the MK and ki cost...MK goes to 50 and Ki cost to Dex9/Pow10/Wil11...I'd add a full -3Ki for a total of Dex9/Pow9/Wil9. The MK raises a lot (MK80), but this is the only defensive ability of the character, so better have it nice. If you still want the technique to have an odd MK cost (so that the total MK cost of the tech-tree amounts to an even value) add in there an odd disadvantage. It's not in Dominus, but I seldom allow defensive techniques to have the NO ATTACK disadvantage, meaning you cannot use the technique in a turn you attacked, for -15MK (it is specular to No Defense). Another option might be Energy Excess...it's Ki-straining, but the overall cost of the technique isn't too high, so it's a feasable option. Finally, another option might be -75All Action Penalty starting the moment you stop maintaining the technique, representing the physical strain of keeping this "mind-blowing" dance (a dance granting you 4 penalty free defences with +100 is pretty much unnatural, I guess). Anyway, if you use any of those, the MK cost of the technique drops to 65. Finally an option is having it cost Dex9(3)/Pow10(3)/Wil10(3) with the advantage that the MK cost drops to 45 (which is the original value) and you only have a VERY minor ki unbalance, which can be ignorated.

Prelude of Dissonance: This one's PERFECT!

Requiem for a Dream: This one is PERFECT too, but the ki cost can be 15/15/15 even without buying the -1Ki...hence the correct cost is 90MK as far as MK and Ki cost are concerned, but I have a little advice about it. The technique requires 1 minute preparation. Honestly, I believe that previous preparation is an "acceptable" disasvantage only for techniques that allow you to prepare them in a very tranquil place while the rest of the world is completely unaware of what you're doing. To be frank, I'd use it only for techniques with either extremely long range distance attack and/or extremely wide area effect (we're talking about Km range, nothing less). With this technique you have to survive for 20 full combat turns in the middle of your opponents before unleashing a technique that could require 3 turns to be used with a Accumulation value of 5 on relevant stats! I believe it doesn't work very well, that's all. I'd either remove it (100MK is still a low cost for Level3 techniques) or substitute it with something else. Predetermined would even lower the cost to 80MK, compensating a bit the MK increment caused by previous modifications, and is in line with the concept of "previous preparation". There's -4Fatigue, -50Life Points, Half Damage, that all grant you -10MK and are all "in game" better options of "1 minute preparation". But then again, this is an advice, your technique is doubtless correct as it is.

As a final comment: I really loved this one!

Haha looks like im getting better at this.

Discordant rhapsody: ok ill make the changes, works for me

Endless waltz: i had said that the maintenance costs werent included because i didnt have access to them. Thank you for fixing it.

Requiem for a dream: thanks for the feedback, i felt like something was off with this technique. Ill make the changes as soon as i get home

All in all, thank you for your time in fixing up my work again and happy you like it.

Hey, this is one of my first Technique trees I've worked on making. Any critiques or what not welcome. This is designed with the thoughts of being used for villains and bad guys.

Dark Flame
A dark style of Techniques that requires rigorous training and surrendering one’s soul to the Dark Flame itself. To master the style, the Martial Artist can only learn Techniques aligned with Fire and/or Darkness. If any other Elemental Technique is learned, the practitioner cannot master any Level 2 or higher Techniques. Only the most vile and darkest individuals have what it takes to learn these Techniques. They draw upon the Ki of an evil individual in order to enact. It is said that this art originated from Darkness Elementals known as Shadows, merging with humans in dark rituals in order to gain the power needed to fight The Church. This legend has given rise to the title of Shadow to its practitioners. All of these Techniques have the Elemental Binding Disadvantage with Fire and Darkness.
If Mantle of Darkness is active, the rest of the Techniques have a Ki discount on the activation cost. The discounted price will be placed in parenthesis after the base price. This cost discount does not apply to the Maintenance cost of other Techniques maintained.

Mantle of Darkness
The Shadow surrounds himself with an aura of shadowy flame. This mantle wisps about the practitioner allowing him to strike with the Dark Flame, causing Heat damage. The destructive nature of the Dark Flame imposes a -4 Armor Type penalty against its attacks. While maintaining this mantle, the Shadow multiplies his Final Damage score by 2. The Ki used each round to maintain this effect counts as a discount to the cost requirements to Activate any other Dark Flame Techniques (-3 STR, -3 WIL, -2 POW).
Required MK: 30 Level: 1
STR 9 Maint 3
WIL 7 Maint 3
POW 13 Maint 2
Effects -4 Armor Type, x2 Damage, Elemental Attack (Fire), Basis of Power, Maintained Technique
Requirements No Techniques, other than those of this Tree, may be activated while this Technique is in use.

Fire Claws
Using his darker intentions, the Shadow pulls forth his inner fire, focusing them through his hands to form long and dangerous shadow claws. These claws are unique, as they have three Attack Types that can be used, rather than only two. These Fire Claws have a base damage of 50, a speed of +25, +85 to Attack, +10 to Block, Heat/Cut/Thrust Attack Types, Fort. 32, Breakage 12, Presence 115, -2 A.T. to Defender of attacks.
Required MK : 25 Level: 1

AGI 5 Maint 3
DEX 5 Maint 3
WIL 5 (2) Maint 1
POW 2 (0) Maint 1
Effects +10 Quality Physical Ki Weapon (Claws), Elemental Attack (Fire), +75 to Attack, Maintained Technique

Invocation of Darkness
The Shadow invokes the Darkness within himself, and projects it onto his target and surrounding area. He rolls to attack as per normal, all he needs is to hit, this attack does no damage. Upon a successful hit on his target, up to 50 feet away, a 15-ft radius burst of darkness erupts into the area. Everyone within the area of darkness must make two Ph.R. checks of 120. If the targets fail the first check, they reduce their Ph.R. by a number equal to the amount they failed by. If the targets fail their second check, they suffer an All Action Penalty equal to the amount failed by. Penalties are recovered at a 5 point per hour rate.
Required MK: 20 Level: 1
WIL 9 (6)
POW 10 (8)
Effects Long-Distance Attack (50 ft.), Area Attack (15 ft), States (Ph.R. Reduction, All Action Penalty)(120), No Damage

Dark Strike
The Shadow summons up great strength of Darkness to exact one of numerous powerful strike options. He receives a +50 to Attack, -50 Penalty Reduction for Combat Maneuvers and Aiming, and +20 to the Breakage rating of his attack.
Required MK: 35 Level 1
STR 6 (3)
DEX 13
Effects +50 to Attack, +20 Breakage, -50 Penalty Reduction

Dark-Flame’s Hunger
The Shadow pulls the Darkness about himself to reinforce his body, preparing it to take a beating, and prepares to Absorb Hits coming at him, as the Flame wells up within that Darkness and prepares to strike at the Heart of his opponent. He divides his Block by two, subtracts any penalties, and then calculates a +150 bonus to Block. He may not declare Dodge as his Defense while using this Technique. If he gets hit he does not lose his action in that turn. He forgoes all Counterattacks in that turn, saving for the strike to his victim’s Heart. He gets one chance to pull this strike off. He performs the strike to his enemy’s Heart with a +150 bonus to Attack. If he hits, his base damage is increased by +150, then multiplied by 3. This damage is Heat Damage, as the Dark Flame bursts forth at the victim’s Heart. This Technique is Predetermined, and must be announced when its Ki Accumulation begins. If the Shadow ever learns a Technique that uses Elements other than Fire and/or Darkness, he forever loses the ability to use this Technique. Usually this Technique is only mastered by the most dedicated Shadows.

Swift Flame
The Shadow merges his body with the Dark Flame burning within him, becoming an intangible black fire capable of instantly erupting into existence anywhere within 3,000 feet of where he was. The Dark Flame is not slowed by jumping locations like this, and the Shadow is capable of taking 1 Active Action with no penalty as soon as he re-appears in the new location. If the Shadow ever learns a Technique that uses Elements other than Fire and/or Darkness, he forever loses the ability to use this Technique.
Required MK: 40 Level: 2
AGI 10
DEX 6
POW 3 (1)
Effects 3,000 ft Automatic Transportation, Intangibility, +1 Active Action

Dark-Flame Retaliation
Attacking a Shadow with this level of mastery in the arts of the Dark Flame can be extremely dangerous. As his Counterattack, the Shadow turns the attack he just defended against back against the attacker. The Shadow uses the Final Attack (including any bonuses) of the original attack with a +125 to Counterattack bonus. It retains all of the final scores for damage and any esoteric or supernatural effects of the original attack with only one difference, the attack deals Energy damage. If the Shadow ever learns a Technique that uses Elements other than Fire and/or Darkness, he forever loses the ability to use this Technique.
Required MK: 65 Level: 2
DEX 18
POW 18 (16)
Effects Attack Mirroring, Mirroring Esoteric Abilities, +125 to Counterattack, Energy Damaging Attack

Sacrifice to the Dark Flame
The Shadow summons forth the Dark Flame, and sacrifices some of his own health to appease this level of bringing forth the Dark Flame, so that it will accept the sacrifice of his target. He targets the intended sacrifice, he must be within 150 feet, and performs an Attack with a +175 to his attack. If he hits, the attack does no damage innately. The target must make a Ph.R. check of 240 plus double the LPs sacrificed by the Shadow. If this Ph.R. check is failed, the Dark Flame erupts up around the target and claims the victim’s life for the Dark Flame, killing him instantly. If the Shadow ever learns a Technique that uses Elements other than Fire and/or Darkness, he forever loses the ability to use this Technique.
Required MK: 155 Level: 3
STR 12 (9)
AGI 12
DEX 17
WIL 11 (8)
POW 17 (15)
Effects States (240 Ph.R., Death), +175 to Attack, Long Distance Attack (150 ft.) Double Vital Sacrifice.

Dark Flame Eruption
The Shadow opens his soul and body to the Dark Flame, and allows it to burst out about him, engulfing the surrounding area in its destructive hunger. The burst affects everything within 3,000 feet of the Shadow. Dark Flame Eruption does not use the weapon’s damage, but twice the character’s Base Presence plus his Power Bonus as Heat damage. The Shadow enjoys the favor of the Dark Flame during this dark summoning, granting him a +8 bonus to all Armor Types. The power of darkness pierces through the anyone elses protections, reducing their Armor Type by 8 points. There are legends of Shadow Masters using this to destroy villages and armies of their enemies, and wreak havoc on cities. If the Shadow ever learns a Technique that uses Elements other than Fire and/or Darkness, he forever loses the ability to use this Technique.

CON 18
POW 16 (14)
Effects Area Attack (3,000 ft.), Elemental Attack (Fire), Armor Increase (+8), Armor Destruction (-8)

**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Alright, that's that! I hope you all enjoy! Please! If you have suggestions or hints/tips on fine-tuning this or what-not, please, do share! Thank you very much!

*Edit 1: Took out the Japanese Characters/Names, since they posted as just ?'s.

Hello everyone, it took me a while going through this whole thread, but I finally managed to do it. Now I want to share some of my ideas too, although I sometimes tend to expand the rules a bit when something isn't realisable by the official set.

Here is one of my very first techniques, which I actually created 2 years ago, but is now reworked to fit the new Dominus Exxet rules and possibilities.

I had the idea after one episode of "avatar the last airbender" where sokka had to forge his own sword and realized just how many ways exist to do that and make it personal.

Musashi

Musashi internalizes the handling of classical eastern blades to a level which brings the user closer to a complete understanding of the weapons material, the craftsmenship and their underlying idea. Beyond the pure fighteraspect, users of Musashi learn to understand the thoughts and purpose behind their weapons making and that its destiny is allready set to a chosen path by simple things like choosing steel and working techniques. It is then when a advancing scholar of this style realizes, that he can invoke in his own blade the collected characteristics of all these different weapons he understood, even amplifying their original principles on a spiritual level.

Total MK : 385 or 375

The whole tree consist of very diverse effects, like damage and attack boni, which aren't easily combinable (Dex and Str, and expensive translation). Only the first two techniques exsist therefore for frequent battle use, while the rest is only made for specific situations or great battle turning. It aims for a diverse accumulation of DEX and AGI 2 in the beginning, and DEX, AGI 3 but WIL, STR and POW 2 later on. You can allways have more of course.

Norishige

Comprehending the idea of the small and short eastern blades - the tantos - on their most elevated level, can enable the fighter to summon this spirit into his own weapon. Norishige may - released in the right moment - end an opponent unexpected and quick.

Level: 1

MK: 25

AGI 6 DEX 5

Effects : +100 Initiative Augmentation, Maneuvers and Aiming -50

Disadvantages : Bound to eastern blade weapons (-5)

Best to use when you can expect and Initiative advantage for some reason and then harness the surprise bonus with this technique. Aimed for a zone, this could easily produce a critical, especially since you don't have to use a real tanto but could also nodachi your way through

Yukimitsu

Yukimitsu finally familiarizes the user with the different sorts of steel and smithing techniques. The right choice of steel in combination with its corresponding promoting processing, does bring the possibility to choose the most fitting property for your cause. A fighter who fully internalized Yukimitsu obtains incredible adaptability with its blade in a fight.

Level : 1

MK : 30

AGI 5 DEX 5 STR 2

Effects : You have to choose one of the effects- + 50 Attack Ability, + 50 Block Ability, + 50 Damage Augmentation

Disadvantages : Bound to eastern blade weapons (-5)

Yukimitsu has greatest effect if you hold it allready charged and release the most suitable effect on opportunity.

- Choosing effects is not exactly canon, but I just had to have something like this in a tree like this. The rules go as this: You choose the most expensive effect of your selection and add half the MK and half the KI cost of any other option. The dominance of the most expensive effect ensures that you allways have to pay more than for a single effect, so you can't misuse it that way.

Still, rule stretching like this requires definite confirmation of the GM, or better the group. I would have fun with it, it is not realy unbalanced so far, so why not, but this doesn't appeal to everyone.

Muramasa

Lots of legends tell of the cursed blades and their unfortunate impact on the unwary user. Those proceeding in the mastery of the art of of the sword and Musashi may become able to see a sense even in the creation of those dangerous weapons. In pact with the unfathomable sides of swordforging, a user may sacrifice a part of his own health to experience a through other sorts of smithing unparalled increase of destructive power, that may slay even the most monstrous of his opponents.

Other than the previous more subtle techniques, this one actually visualises observable for everyone. The users veins pulsate and even emit pale light, while the blade bursts with dark red flames as the technique is prepared.

Level: 2

MK : 70

AGI 5 CON 3 DEX 6 STR 6 WIL 6

Effects : + 75 Attack Ability, + 25 Damage Augmentation (Double Vital Sacrifice)

Disadvantages : Exhaustion: - 4 Fatigue (-10), Bound to eastern blade weapons (-5)

This techniques cost actually display the problem to combine Attack Ability with Damage Augmentation. The solution for me was to aim for a generell 3 turn accumulation, so with STR 2 and WIL 2, the whole diversity doesn't matter anymore. As it sacrifices life points you don't really need it to be fast available (though 3 Turns is still pretty fast..), because you will most likely only use it once in a fight.

Masamune

The perfection of weaponsmithing yields weapons that are so perfidiously deadly that fighting itself may appear senseless. A fight with a weapon, whose simple touch can slice through bodys and end lives, may easily loose its state as an art of heightened conflict and become simple mindless slaughter. A fighter, who manages to internalize all facets and practices of swordsmithing, finally faces the big Why behind all this: The objective to hurt and kill.

It is after the user knows all these sinister trains of thoughts, that Masamune also reveals to him the idea to seek the true perfection in the responsibilty. Ensouled with the spirit and purpose of true swordsmanship, the user becomes able to inflict mortal or disabling wounds on his oppents through the mere touch of his weapon, as he canalizes his idea of battles nature through it.

Level: 2

MK : 80

DEX 12 POW 8 WIL 8 // - 1 Cost Alteration

Effects : + 40 Attack Ability, + 1 Additional Attack, + 50 Critical Enhancement (automatic critical)

Disadvantages : Bound to eastern blade weapons (-5)

Aimed for 4 Turn Accumulation and can easily end fights before they begin (automatic critical is just beastly when you ensure it hits).

Zanmato

Even the abilities of the most perfected craftsmen eventually find their limit on the barrier of reality, after which even the greatest skill may not produce a truly in their last detail flawless blade. Though that doesn't prevents the masters from simply dreaming of such a weapon...

Out of the yearning dreams of all mastersmiths of the world, manifests a perfect blade of such unearthly beauty, that its advent darkens the skies and expands the time. Even the fools and untaught will feel the unspeakable fantastic ideas manifesting in the unknown metal, how the steel becoming thought of masters chase each other and form impossible structures, and how every of its to infinity drawn ornaments reflect their limitless creativity ..and their desire.

A breeze of eternity blows through the clime and causes the weapons unsheathing for every attender to become a moment of delightful ecstasy.

Once the weapon is drawn, its summoner can release all of its to their highest imagined intention with a simple swing. The blades inner light begins to shine and spreads out like a cut through existence itself in front of the user. While passing, this light even severs the tenuous threads, that prevent lifeforms from returning to the river of souls.

Level : 3

MK : 180 (or 170)

AGI 18 DEX 30 POW 30 WIL 30 (or AGI 21 DEX 27 POW 27 WIL 27) // +2 Cost Alteration

Effects : Physical KI-Weapon +20, +150 Attack Ability, Area Attack 25m (but just a cone in front of the user), PhR against 200 facing first PhR-Penalty, Fascination and then Death

Disadvantages : Defenseless (-15), No Damage (-20), Condition: Unsheathe (-5)

The attack is permorfed in two turns. In the first turn in which it is summoned, the user will actually be unable to defend itself by any means, since the blade is allready summoned, but still sheathed and also all the concentration work. The technique could easily even get interrupted in this moment, if the user suffers to much damage, or by other means. The second turn only releases the attack after which the blade instantly disappears.

Designed for a dramatic 10 or 9 turn accumulation, given WIL and POW have been increased to 3 (which would be quite useful with the masamune technique too).

Yepp, this is Zanmato out of Final Fantasy 10. See it in a video for reference

I allways found this attack deserved some special description, as it was the very first (and still is the only one) attack of every Rpg I played, that actually had a 100% Death effect on it. While nearly every Rpg has a spell or technique, that has a chance of death or something (but is never used because of this uncertainty), Zanmato could even kill the major bosses in one blow without any chance of counteraction or whatever. You only had to have enough money for it, which usually was alot, but still was easier to get than really training to beat all the optional overpowered black aeon opponents and the judge (I don't like to overharvest Rpgs like that).

The KI-Weapon and Fascination effects are just chosen for style and don't really add something useful to the technique. KI-Weapon still has to stay there, because it makes the technique independent of the "just eastern blades" disadvantage (and the weapon is clearly summoned), and that the mere existence of +20 weapon (which are godly unreachable and cannot be forged by mortal hands, as described in the rulebooks) brought me to think what such a weapon could actually be like if seen in reality. Zanmato!

The Fascination Effect can easily be taken out though. I wrote the alternate costs for that into brackets - it accelerates the technique accumulation approximately by one turn.

The Area Attack in form of a cone is still unmapped by the rules. I could have made something more similar with Distance Attack + Trail of Destruction + Smaller Area Attack, but it costs ridiculously more for a much smaller area of effect.

Thats it for now, but I will at least post one more technique later (I have to translate them into english, which takes alot of time with the descriptions).

Ok, first to Nochtal:

10 techniques is a bit too much, acually only technicians would be able to use such tree. Anyway, additional restrictions, like being evil and not learning other techniques seem quite "useless" to me, so I wouldn't consider them at all. Also, having a technique grant a ki discount to other techniques is out of question: such thing is far too broken in this system. I don't have the time to comment them one by one properly (sorry, really), so I'm just rewriting Dark Flame techniques as I would use them. As always, mine is just a suggestion.

This is the best I could do to fix it up. The final MK cost is 830, which is pretty high, but like this the tech-tree would be pretty much ok on my side...

Now let's get my hands on Musashi made by Rii Nagaja...

I believe using Dex/Agi/Con would be best for this tech-tree...lets see.

NORISHIGE: Level 1

Effects: +100 Initiative Augmentation, -50 Aimed Attacks, -1Ki.
Disadvantages: Weapon Bound (Eastern-Tyle Blade Weapon).
AGI4 / DEX4 / CON4

ZANMATO: Level3

I would remove the "No Damage" thing here and the Death effect leaving it like this. I would allow the user to choose the summoned weapon the first time the technique is used, but the weapon must followingly remain always the same.

Effects: Physical Ki Weapon+20 (Eastern-Type Blade Weapon), +150Attack, 20m Distance Attack (Trail of Destruction), 1m Area Attack, Supernatural State (PhR200, PhR reduction & Fascination, Attack), -1Ki.
Disadvantages: Weapon Bound (Eastern-Tyle Blade Weapon), No Defense, Condition (Unsheathe).
DEX35 / AGI35 / CON35
MK: 170

Sorry, I think there was a big misunderstanding. I didn't want my techniques to be corrected or improved - as I said, these are about 2 years old allready and had plenty of time to get refined. I just wanted to post them here (the thread is named "New Techniques" after all, although it had grown to a helper thread).

Besides, I think I made it pretty clear, that everything has allready been thought through to the detail (there is an "aimed for x turn accumulation given 'these xy' accumulations" remark on nearly every technique, as well as an disclaimer in the beginning why the multiple attributes make sense), so I have to think Elric, that you didn't really read it. (this is amplified by your suggestion for Zanmato - I wrote so much explanation, why this is not only a but the death effect technique incarnation, even added a video to it.. and your tip is to remove the death effect? You also reincluded the Distance Attack+Trail of Dextruction+Area Attack Combination which I clearly expelled.. with words..)

Though I would have agreed with focusing on just 3 attributes in alot of other opportunities - that was allways my goal before Dominus Exxet. But now, since the KI pools can be united, making calculation and bureaucracy alot easier, the total KI cost can become more important than a good balanced set. Before that, having not more than 3 attributes was wise, because you could focus all your bought KI Points on these three, and therefore never really encounter the situation, where you couldn't use some techniques anymore, because you ran out in just one attribute (that was a really annoying system).
But with a unified pool I think it settles down to just having to think through your techniques so that they match with your chosen KI Accumulation Multiples. For example, if you decided to have DEX and STR 3 and additionally POW and WIL 2 accumulation, you could easily create techniques, that have costs of DEX 9 and POW 6 for 3 Turn accumulation, or DEX 12 WIL 8 POW 8 for 4 Turn accumulation. If you can build your acc.-multiples and your techniques in good syncro, you can actually get alot cheaper techniques (you don't have to buy the expensive activators so often) and have a wider variety of effects (more core attributes unlock more effects). You will notice this impact strongest on the fast to use first level techniques, where buying more attribute space is pretty expensive in relation to the original cost.

For comparison I will analyse your classical and my original build of the tree:

Norishige
Elric: AGI 4 DEX 4 CON 4 - Total 12
Rii: AGI 6 DEX 5 - Total 11
This is very much the same. Yours is a 2 turn Technique after buying 3 multiples (one in every attribute), mine needs 4 (two in every), but that doesn't matter so much, since the additional accumulation is not wasted - you will need them for the others anyway.

Yukimitsu cannot be compared. As I said, I was using homebuild rules for a selection of effects. I think you just added all the costs, so it doesn't apply.

Muramasa
Elric: AGI 10 DEX 10 CON 10 - Total 30
Rii: AGI 5 DEX 6 CON 3 WIL 6 POW 6 - Total 26
I aimed for 3 turn accumulation, so you would need 9 multiples in your case to get that (getting every to 4), while mine theoretically only needs 4 (one in every of DEX,AGI,WIL and POW), but is 6 since i needed DEX and AGI to be 3 in previous techniques. Still you are saving alot. It may look chaotic having so much attributes for payment, but the big idea behind this is to make more efficient use of your natural accumulations of 1 you allready have in every attribute and saving total costs with the same trick. Just paying one more KI for example, let me distribute 2 of my points to constitution, so I could dampen the technique down to 3 turn use (CON 3 can be paid with the natural accumulation of 1).
Although I didn't want this once-per-battle technique to be any faster, .. If I would aim for that, I would have to increase CON, WIL and POW by one, making it 9 mutiples total, while the three attribute solution would have to do the same and get it to 12.
So I end up having to pay alot less CP for Multiples (getting it accumulated one turn faster for the same CP as with just three attributes), and I am saving total cost at the same time.

Masamune
Elric: DEX 11 AGI 11 CON 11 - Total 33
Rii: DEX 12 POW 8 WIL 8 - Total 28
Since we both had only three attributes in this, they don't really differ here. You need 6 multiples to get it to the 4 turn accumulation, while I need 4 (2 in DEX, 1 in every other). I am saving total KI points here since I don't have to force my technique into the static three attributes, which is better on long term, but what is hidden is that I actually also had to pay another 2 multiples for AGI, which I am not using in this technique. So I basically pay the same.
I just found an alternative making more efficient use of the bought multiples:
AGI 9 DEX 8 STR 3 POW 6 WIL 6 - Total 32
This is more expensive in KI, but uses all of the 6 bought multiples, and manages to accumulate in 3 turns allready, which is quite useful. I may even use that since STR 2 acc. is on the high level list to make Yukimitsu an amazing one turner, so I could possibly push Masamune up to 2 turns alot cheaper.

Zanmato for 170 MK (I know you made it totally different, so this is again not really comparable, but I will compare the overall effictivity {which is more a balancing issue of the rulebook - though I don't have anything against how it is now})
Elric: DEX 35 AGI 35 CON 35 - Total 105 -- A strong +150 Attack hit, that very likely causes fascination in an 20x2m area beam
Rii: AGI 21 DEX 27 POW 27 WIL 27 - Total 102 -- A non damage but precise +150 Attack, that very likely instant kills the targets in an area of 25²xPi m (/4 voluntarily, but even then still much bigger than just 40m²)

Aiming for 9 turn accumultion, you would need just 9 multiples, while I need 8, which is not really a notable difference at this advanced point. (Would have been the same with 10 turn accumulation and me reincluding the fascination effect). Raising everything to 4 (which is practical for the original Masamune) would make it 7 turns for 12 multiples, and that exactly matches what you get with 12 too.
But the rules make it like this, that even with very equal costs my original technique is much much more effective, spanning a much larger area and killing everything in it instead of just doing good damage and fascinating them.
And I don't mean that in a powergaming way or whatever. It is just, why would you downgrade a technique in this way, if the alteration doesn't even fit the original idea? I totally see why you would change a technique for aesthetic reasons (thats why there is a KI-Weapon+20 in it after all...), but why make it totally different for no gain, not even style at all?
I guess it was just a mistake made in rush, but still.


That all doesn't really apply of course, if you are not playing with the unified KI Pool rules. In that case three attributes are much smarter to use. With the pool however, having a bit of semichaotic distribution can actually have a big gain. And don't get me wrong, I know that urge to make things symmetrical, aestecially pleasant, or somehow appear very logical (like having one attribute again and again, because it is hinted in the descriptions / STR for example). I allways have to set the volume of TV's to an even number. Anime fight is hard buisness though, and here I see more beauty in the absolute energy efficiency than in objective number symmetry - but if I can combine both, I will allways do that.

So I state, with unified KI Pool, my original distribution was just perfect.
( )

Sorry guy, I didn't mean to offend! I just got carried away. But I definitely liked your techniques anyway. I will read the post with more attention next time!

Elric! Thank you very very much! I just recently got the system, and the technique tree isn't really being made for use per-say, just me working on getting a handle on the system and how to do it. Your notes and refinements are greatly appreciated, it will help me further analyse the system and its working. I recently got a copy of the Gamemaster's Toolkit, and the Dominus Exxet, which have also greatly changed the process of making techniques and trees.

After doing a few play testing trials I came to somewhat the same conclusion on the Ki discount thing.

I do have plans to make a full working tree based on the concept. I wasn't aiming for it to be evil only, in just derives from an evil entity, and the restriction wasn't meant to be just that tree, it was meant to be representative of a restriction though. I think I'll change it to restrict them from learning Light or Water aligned techniques.

For the dynamics of a game idea I had, it was a group who follows a powerful entity known as the Dark Flame, and the opposing group who follows the Shining Lake (Fire & Darkness; Light & Water; respectively).

I've also noticed that on the technique heavy trees, this leaves them at about 6 or 7 techniques, the average tree having 5 techniques. I plan to re-read through the Dominion Technique creation out of the Dominus Exxet before doing my first rewrite of the Technique tree. I plan on cutting it down so that the final rendition of it will be only 8 techniques.

Elric of Melniboné said:

Ok, I figured that might be it, since you still took so much time to recalculate anything.

Anyway, here is my second set of ancient but remodelled techniques. Three of the techniques alternate the rules a bit again, and were doing it even more before Dominus Exxet, which made alot possible that I only fantasized before. The set came to my mind after reading the Barakiel part in the rulebook, which I really loved for their enlightening description (together with Uriel and Edamiel). It basicaly copies the concept as a technique tree.
Sorry for the long post, but I like story intensive techniques. The imagination part is after all the main thing about it, and the anima system just delivers the workbench to render them.

Vollendung

Vollendung is a technique style for those who either dedicated themselves to the ideals of the Beryl Barakiel, or for another reason seek to achieve the highest goals. Their aspiration is nothing less than absolute perfection for that matter, which, apart from any form of the day, frame of mind or arbitreriness of destiny, allways follows a predictable almost mechanical order. Practitioners of Vollendung actively learn to develop their abilities in a direction, where the question of defeat or victory is not longer influenced by chance and random circumstances, but only by the validity of the more skilled one.
Proceeding in the mastery of Vollendung does however come with great personality changes, that may make the character using it calm and noble supreme at first, but may also peak in an obsessivley perfectionionistic type, who just allways finds possibilities to do things better and unrestingly critizises himself to the level of despair after many failed trials.

Total MK: 270

This technique trees paying plan was at its time as much refined for efficiency as its name ("perfection/completition") indicates. Any but the last technique make use of only 3 attributes (here DEX, AGI and POW), as it was most efficient before Dominus Exxet (and is still however with the right chosen effects), and the overall costs are dampenend down to maximum usability - so, fast accumulation. It is made especially for KI users that are not technicians but more the warrior and tao types, and spare your MK account (the first three "core"-techniques for this tree cost only 90 MK - close to the 80 MK minimum). Though the last technique is pretty high notch again and mustn't be seen as something you should have purchased, but more like a real longterm goal for the epic fighters last touch of refinement on its way to becoming a legend or something (on a test character {acrobatic warrior} with naturally more diverse MK spending for sidepowers, I needed to reach level 15 to get it...).
Oh, and, if Perception would be a KI attribut, this technique should have it. It is mainly skill in mind.

Perfect Strike

The beginning of the combative understanding of perfection starts with the ability to eliminate inner fears and outer distraction when needed. Meditating about the true reasons why one may fail one time but easily master the same task in a different environment next time, may bring the warrior to the conclusion, that only the minds inferior or unstable state hinders one of releasing his true potential at any time, since even the bodies form is most commonly just a consequence of the persons mental condition. At the moment of enlightening, when he finally comprehends this very first technique, he suddenly realizes that there was never a reason to falter to begin with, if he just concentrates enough and in the right way, shielding himself from any distraction.

Level : 1
MK : 25
AGI 5 (2M) DEX 5 (1M) POW 3 (1M)
Effects : Maintained, + 50 Attack Ability (Single), but operates as replacing your W100 dice on one attack with an automatic 100
Disadvantages : None

- Replacing the dice is of course bending of rules at its finest. But assuming the GM allows to replace the dice with the avarage result of 50.5 for a special technique like this, adding +50 to it would indeed represent that the character never go under his natural highest potential of +100. Since he is also eleminating the possitive possibilities that lack of concentration can bring (through surprising actions for example), this also erases open rolls (but fumbles too), which is statistically more a downside than a bonus in the anima system.

- This Technique, as well as the next two who form the core of the tree and could stand for themself, is very subtle in its nature. There is no real sign of supernatural activity to observe. The user just seems to have an impeccable mastery over his actions and his body, giving him somewhat of an aura of sovereignty, but nothing that couldn't be imagined in reality at all. Even those who can sense KI may only observe Powers flowing very systematically through his body in an accelerated way - But it appears more like the power is flowing as a natural consequence of the users concentration and usage of skill, than the other way around, that the power actually amplifies his body. The first three techniques are actually mainly mindwork that just feeds on the KI powers because a natural body could not provide that intensity in alert- and awareness, which is necessary for truely considering all the possible "If's" on the way to perfection in a situation.

Gapless Defense

A defense that contains errors is usually caused by emotional or other mental weaknesses. The user has to explore the whole variety of mental states that may diminish a defenders abilities, reaching from outside fear of the enemy, being impressed, up to by one's own success induced arrogance. Every one of these has special thinking techniques to counteract them, but the trickiest part is to find the underlaying principle and generate the general neutral uncaring, but responsive and worldbound state of mind, that many refer to as zen, to counteract them all. Finding that level of inner dissipation doesn't leave the disciples personality as it was of course.

Level : 1
MK : 25
AGI 5 (1M) DEX 5 (2M)
Effects : Maintained, + 50 Block or Dodge Ability (Single), but instead replaces the W100 with an automatic 100
Disadvantages : None of KI concerning matter

- Choose Block or Dodge when the technique is learned. Cannot be changed later.

Immaculate Shape

After the disciple learned the principles of the first two techniques, it is now up to using their purely mind based concentration practices and translate them so that the body may gain a real advantage. This is based on the observation, that very possitive or highly concentrated states of mind can generate a real impact on the bodys physical behaviour, captures the idea of discovering all the sources where that may come from, and learn to manipulate them in a functional way. Controlling ones own mind on such an elevated level may infuse the force of euphoria into the body at any chosen time, giving him otherwise rare reliable fitness and increasing the possibilities of the user to live out all the moves he needs to truely deliver a perfect performance.

Level : 2
MK : 40
AGI 5 (1M) DEX 3 (1M) POW 4 (2M)
Effects : Maintained, +1 Additional Action, + 2 Armor Augmentation, + 50 Initiative Augmentation, but instead replaces the W100 with an automatic 100
Disadvantages : None

Completeness of the Moment

On an elevated insight in the true nature of perfection, a fighter might finally realize, that determinism without coincidence would cause the events to happen in an unalterable way. Completely independent of time, true perfection would allways state a picture for eternity, being mere predictable mechanics. Deepening that knowledge and studying occurences of that phenomenon that the disciple may have experienced, can lead to a path where even greater grades of infallibility can be achieved, as he starts to predict all of his and his opponents actions like a chessmaster, to find the perfect pattern to overcome him with minimal effort. After getting all the necessary impressions {..accumulating enough KI..} to predict the next 3 seconds or so of the fight - even including all possible turnouts of the enemies insufficiency -, the user releases all that in a perfectly predicted combination of unspeakable superiority.
This technique finally reaches a level at which the perfection openly appears to be somewhat supernatural, although nothing physically implausible happens. It may however seem suspicious, that some of the strikes may sometimes be done while holding the weapon with just two fingers, and some blocks may only deliver half of the possible resistence, while the second half comes a second later with a another block while defending against two other attacks in between with an acrobatic stunt. ..Because, if that turns out to be the most effective way to release this flurry of weakness exploitation - utilizing all of the users skills.. it will be done.

Level : 2
MK : 50
AGI 12 DEX 12
Effects : You have to choose one of the effects: + 3 Additional Attacks or + 10 Additional Defenses
Disadvantages : Maintained Technique Level 1 (-5): Either "Perfect Strike" or "Gapless Defense" has to be maintained and you have to release the corresponding effect (defense or attack)

- I just had to make a technique in this tree to cost something with 12 KI, because twelve is just such a perfect number. It is dividable by 2,3,4 and 6, so you are reaching a new level of accumulation speed nearly every time you improve your statistics.

- This is using the 'choice of effects' rules again. Very unofficial.

Zen

Building up on the technicians last insights, a user of Vollendung may become able to raise his perfection to a level that really reaches up to something as ideal as divine doing and break the barrier to the true supernatural in the same process. Comprehending the concept of the times unnecessarity for a true perfect statement further, elevates the technician on a level where he becomes able to send his spirit in the sorroundings and perceive the amount of disorder, quite similar to the "Completeness of the Moment" technique, but with a whole place.
In a moment of sheer concentration, where time for the user literally stops, the fighter starts to internatlize his entire sourrounding in every imaginable and unimportant detail, to get an unalterable frozen impression of his current situation. Considering the enormous amount of mainly ridiculously pointless information accumulating inside the user - colors, ants in the grass, amount of salt on the air - , a gruelling psychic pressure starts to form and escaltes to intolarable levels, where a human would normally become insane. The user however mindful of his fantastic experiences, is finally capable to merge this moment of total consternation through the chaos into a bursting bubble of overall impression. This total, all and everything including perception of the situation, imparts on him with the one message: ..There is only one perfect way .
In the moment of enlightening the fighter suddenly opens his eyes, as all the knowledge and the teachings erupt out of him in an amount, that the pure symbolism causes the air to echo with a loud "Om" and the continuity of time breaks apart for the next seconds in the area. In those few seconds, that are predetermined into their last detail by the fighter, not even passing on the spontaneous emotional reactions of opponents, the user leaps forward with incredible speed and precision, handling everyone in hordes of enemies in a faultless manner ..- predicting every step and exploiting every weakness.

After this moment of divine ascension has passed, the fighter usually stands over the battlefield, having not even a single drop of blood on his blade, and watching his former opponents still falling to the ground.

Level : 3
MK: 115
AGI 18 DEX 18 POW 18 STR 6 WIL 6 // + 4 Cost Alteration
Effects : 100m Area Attack (Target Choice), +175 Initiative Augmentation, -100 Combat Maneuvers and Aiming, - 4 Armor Penetration, +40 Critical Enhancement, 100m Automatic Transportation, Perceptive Ability: Radial Vision
Disadvantages : Maintainend Technique Level 1 (-5): "Perfect Strike"
Moment of Melancholy (-5) : If the user wasn't naturally able to reach zen level difficulty, he usually only remembers vague impressions of what just happend and is left with a feeling that true perfection may never be obtainable. If he cannot overcome that depression, he suffers a - 30 All Action Penalty and is unable to accumulate for any technique of this tree until he succeeds in a Willpower Check against the difficulty of 15, that he can repeat every minute.

- The automatic transportation cannot be used as an attack movement, but only represents, that the user could be anywhere within the affected area after the technique ends.

- I had plenty points to spend on this technique, since I wanted it to come out as a big event and not possible of being accumulated every few turns or so. However, I couldn't make it any bigger without going over the description which shows just how easy it is to make totally highpowered area attacks in the system. Initiative had to be under the total limit of +200 because I can still imagine something more overwhelming - with true supernatural speed for example. In this case the advantage comes mostly through both, the amazing and impervious determinition of the victims actions, and the nimble type of low force movement, which the fighter uses to get around quickly. It still is no supernatural godspeed technique I mean, so there must be some space upwards left for me.

- And here is a famous video that resembles the last techniques feeling in alot of ways (mainly for the pistol block and the last shot):

The build for the accumulators has three+one 'grades of mastery':

1. Novice Level - Assuming you have not more than the first two techniques.
DEX 2 AGI 2 - Accumulationtime per Technique: 1 ) 3 Turns 2 ) 3 Turns /// 3 ) 4 Turns 4 ) 6 Turns 5 ) 18 Turns

2. Adept Level - Assuming you have not more than the first four techniques
DEX 3 AGI 3 POW 2 - Accumulation per Technique: 1 ) 2 Turns 2 ) 2 Turns 3 ) 2 Turns 4 ) 4 Turns /// 5 ) 9 Turns
- If you don't want your character spending so much on buying multiples, this level would be optimal for this tree. You can even utilize the last technique and get it to effective 6 Turn accumulation later by increasing POW just by one to 3 (the last ones cost were especially designed to fulfill that goal)

3. Master Level - Using anything, but may be too costly for normal characters
DEX 5 AGI 5 POW 4 - Accumulation per Technique: 1 ) 1 Turn 2 ) 1 Turn 3 ) 1 Turn 4 ) 3 Turns 5 ) 6 Turns
- Making the first three techniques to one turners does represent the total internalization of the techniques principles, and therefore achieving the goal of the absolute mastery of your minds and bodies circumstances. On this level you are literally unerring if you want to, so in game terms, you don't need to maintain a technique so much if they aren't needed every second round or so.
Getting additionally DEX 6 and AGI 6 would accelerate the fourth technique to its final goal of 2 Turn accumulation.

+1. Zen Leve l - Not really an efficient goal anymore and therefore doesn't really apply to the trees spirit, but is still in reach for technicians who want to spam out level 3 techniques
DEX 6 AGI 6 POW 6 STR 2 WIL 2 - Accumulation per Technique: 4 ) 2 Turns 5 ) 3 Turns

Hello, long time lurker and first time poster here. I recently caught the technique creating bug so I have a few trees to post here. Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.

This first one is based off this lovely comic: oi39.tinypic.com/34dhrwz.jpg

Muscle Wizard Total MK: 210
This school is named for the mercenary group who created it. They were a band of warriors who boasted their dominion over the human body and the extent of which they took martial training. These techniques are purposely simple, so it does not get in the way of other training therefore any able warrior can use a few of these without too much difficulty.
Traditionally, only the ‘manliest of manly men’ have been taught this school. But remember that these men are mercenaries, for the right price one might find a willing teacher.

Flex MK: 20 Level:1
By simply flexing his muscles, the fighter's overwhelming presence causes incoming attacks to miss in such a wide range that those nearby are unharmed as well.

Cost
DEX 3 (1maint)
CON 3 (1maint)
WP 3 (1maint)

Effects: Area Block 30ft, Maintained
Advantages: Reduction of Ki 1
Disadvantages: Elemental Binding (Fire, Earth)

Might MK: 35 Level: 1
This maneuver strikes fear in the hearts of the Muscle Wizard's enemies. After a successful defense and with a show of power, his hand forms into a solid fist and punches his target's weapon. This is a disarming attack with a modifier of +4 Strength to the check.

Endure MK: 40 Level: 2
Muscle Wizards are difficult to stay in prolonged combat with due to their ability to become stronger the more damage they take. Once per turn, the fighter may channel his energy into one decisive strike that boosts his base damage by +50. But for every additional Life Point he has lost (natural life, not from a supernatural source), he may further increase his damage by the same amount. Due to the concentration needed to pull off this maneuver, his fumble level is raised by 2 whenever executing the powered up attack.

Welcome to the forum, VoidCabbage!

Since you asked for it (I was recently scolded for interferring when not asked to...), I'll give you my impressions. This school seems very good to me, and very funny on top of that. Since I'm noticing errors, I post it to you. Notice that making errors during tech-tree creations is very common and it still happens to me (who own a collection of over 130 tech-trees right now...), so don't get discouraged.

FLEX:

The base cost for the technique is 4/4/4 and not 3/3/3. In maintained techniques, you add the maintenance cost to the base cost as well as paying it for maintenance.

MIGHT:

This one's perfect too!

ENDURE:

This one has a cost of 60MK on my agenda. Could it be you forgot to add 20MK for being a maintained technique? Also its Ki cost is, according to my counts, DEX9 (Mant.2) / CON9 (Mant.2) / WIL9 (Mant.2), without need for a -1Ki adjustation, meaning the MK cost is 50.

FORCE:

The Ki cost I calculated is 6/6/6. I chose Area Attack as primary effect paying it with Constitution (3+3=6), then used Dexterity and Willpower to pay the Distance Attack+Projection as a secondary effect and applied the -1Ki Adjustement (6+2+1+4-1=12 = 6+6).

FIST:

I compliment you for making a less than 100MK very beautiful (or let me say, since it's most appropriate, Viewtiful) Level3 Technique.

All considered I really liked a lot your tech-tree and I'm eager to see your next creation!

Reading all these new techniques has made me want to create some too. I decided actually to adapt to Anima System the techniques employed by playable characters in Skies of Arcadia Legends (an old JRPG).

Here is the tech-tree for the leading character, Vyse:

DA CUTLASS:
Developed in Dwanholf, Da Cutlass is a technique school employed by a noble pirate of the past, who only attacked very rich merchants and military ships. The school employs both offensive and defensive techniques, although defensive techniques always grant some level of retribution. Two peculiarities of this technique are: defensive techniques are based on blocking, instead of dodging, which is uncommon for pirates, and higher level attack techniques strike with lightnings.

And here comes Fina. She's been tough, because she's a supporter/buffer type of character that in the anima system is far better represented with magic. Still, making a tech-tree to represent her abilities seemed very challenging so I made it. The result is still different from the original effects of the Game moves used by Fina, but still satisfying, offering the opportunity of making a definitely unconventional pure domine character.

LUNAR POWERS:
This group of techniques was developed by a rogue Michael priestess who despite her lack of fighting prowess learned to employ ki in order to support her friends. During her travels she developed this very unique group of techniques that can turn the tides of a battle in absolutely unpredictable ways. Since then, the technique has been taught only to very pure hearted individuals.

Last of the bunch for now, Drachma's techniques. With him, as well as with Enrique and Gilder I have to improvise a bit and create a couple of techniques to complete the tech-trees, since in the game these three characters only have 3 special moves.

POWER OF THE FISHERMAN:
Power of the Fisherman was developed by a pretty old fisherman from Kanon that lost his son and right arm to a giant and monstrous whale and traveled hunting for it along with the crew of a noble Dwanholf pirate.

Gilder's one went much more smoothly than Drachma's one. I really like this one, because unlike most of my schools it's very light and almost anyone could make use of it. Now only Enrique's missing...

It's always nice completing a project! That's definitely all for today, though!

Thank you for the feedback Elric, I looked over my maths again and you are correct. I seemed to have completely forgotten about maintenance which is why I shouldn't try to do math at 2 in the morning, heh.

I'll be posting more when I get home, school is back in session for me.

These days I'm really brewing like mad! Can anyone guess where these come from? More to come during the next days of course!

VANGUARD SWORD:
Taught within The Travelers mercenary company, designed by a young, but very capable lieutenant of Zebulos, Vanguard Sword is a group of techniques mostly used with heavy two-handed swords or similar weapons.

Born from an ancient Dragon, Bowser’s Might was taught to the mortal who dealt a pact with him and later to his disciples, men who had dealt a Dragon Path themselves.

I'm really enjoying the Smash brothers themed stuff here. I dont really have any techniques to contribute but... Keep up the good work

Ok, Tarrant, since you guessed it right, now I really have to fulfill it! I'm telling you now, though that there will only be 32 tech-trees and not 39 (as SSBB characters), the reason being that i won't make techniques for a few characters: Falco and Wolf (Fox Clones), Toon Link (Link Clone), Zero Suit Samus (I could do that one, actually, but I don't really want to!), Sheik (I'm only making Zelda), Captain Falcon (Ganondorf's Clone), Lucas (Ness' Clone). I might reconsider Zero Suit Samus depending on my mood when I'm done with all the others.

Now that is a lot of commitment! The ones you've posted so far are already amazing, the nintendo fanboy in my group is actually considering playing a fighter next instead of a pokemon trainer summoner.

I keep meaning to post the rest of my Domine trees but I can't find the file ;~;

It's either in the USB drive that my friend is borrowing or I put it in the wrong folder somewhere..
