Codex entry - SkillsEven those who don't use magic can have some tricks up their sleeves. Skills are typically less difficult to use than magic is, but in it's simplicity is effectivity. SP: To get skills, you have to exchange them for SP. The amount of Skill Points required to buy a skill are equal the its LVL. Skill slots: In order to use a skill, you will have to use a skill slot. These skill slots are bought using BP, which you gain every level from your VIT stat. Damage: Most attacks incur some kind of damage. Depending on the type of damage they can incur, this leads to an injury. Different injuries can have different effects, depending on the limbs they target and the repeated success of their hits. Unless otherwise stated, any damage type can be assumed to incur a minor injury upon a successful hit. When an attack successfully hits - meaning it is not dodged or blocked in some manner - the possibility of an injury taking place is determined by two things. For one, the attack must have an equivalent or higher AP than the target. Second, the oriented stat of the attacker must be higher than the target's VIT. If the attacker's oriented stat is lower than the enemy VIT, a dice with as many sides as the point difference is rolled. If the dice hits 1, the hit will cause an injury. Upcasting: Casters can push their skills beyond their limits by using higher level slots. The demand for energy however increases by every scale. That meaning that when an upcast is done, the cost for additional upscales doubles. Every upscale adds a +2 to the oriented stat; meaning it will be more likely to land succesfuly and be more likely to cause an injury, or in the case of defensive skills it creates a higher resistance to damage. In the case of utility skills, a more creative approach can be taken. You can discuss the possible additional effects of such a skill with your DM before casting. Example: One wants to perform a +3 upcast of a level 2 skill. Step by step it increases as such; +1 LVL 3, +2 LVL 5, +3 LVL 9. As you can see, the increase of level slot doubles by every scale. Actions: The amount of actions, or in this case, skills that can be used per round can be calculated on the basis of the scaled stat. For example, a skill that requires DEX will have its actions per round calculated by the caster's DEX stat. If a skill has multiple stat requirements, then the caster takes the average of their related stats combined (rounded up after 0.5). When using different spells with different requirements, the actions per round will be determined by the lowest score. Note that some skills have exceptions to this rule. You can not use the same skill twice in a single round. 1-5 = 1 action per round. 6-10 = 2 actions per round. 11-20 = 3 actions per round. So on and forth. Continuation - Some skills are simply stronger versions of lower level skills. If you already possess the lower level version, then the cost of that lower level version will be subtracted from the higher level. [PTabbedContent] [PTab=Melee] Melee and projectiles

[/PTab={background-color:#181818}] [PTab=Fighting styles] Fighting styles
Fighting styles are a unique thing, useful for combat within the physical world. No need for all that cooky magic when you've got mad skills on your side. Unlike other skills, fighting styles do not require actions to be used, but they do still consume skill slots on use. Generally, there are two kinds of fighting styles; Offensive and defensive. Offensive styles specialise in enhancing your ability to attack the enemy. Defensive styles focus on defending against attacks and counterattacking.
Kung-fu - Can't go wrong with the classics. Kung-fu is a fighting style useful for those who want to perform blunt attacks with a bit more grace. It can be used when unarmed, or when using blunt weaponry such as batons or polearms. Extra style points if you use nunchuks. It focuses on hard hitting strikes, meant to beat the opponent black and blue.
LVL 1 offensive skill. Requires 5 STR. Increases blunt damage by a degree. Works with Unarmed and Blunt weaponry.
Judo - Why have your fists do all the work when gravity can hit harder? With Judo, the focus lays on repeatedly throwing your enemy around, preferably into the ground. Useful if you want to remain non-lethal. Can only be used as an unarmed combat style.
LVL 2 offensive skill. Requires 6 STR. Converts unarmed blunt damage into shock damage. Only works with unarmed attacks.
Trigger discipline - Any fool can point a gun and pull the trigger. But getting the hang of proper firing, of knowing the drop of a bullet, of not anticipating the recoil... That takes practice. Some people have made themselves particularly familiar with how to use a gun, and do so well.
LVL 2 offensive skill. Requires 6 PER. Halves actions per round towards firing semi-automatic or bolt action weapons, but increased piercing damage by a degree. Only works with semi-auto, bolt and pump action firearms.
Ninjitsu - The sneak's favourite an official trademark of the ninja warrior. Ninjitsu makes use of agility, silent steps and distractions to strike foes when they least expect it.
LVL 4 offensive skill. Requires 7 DEX. When performing a succesful sneak attack on a target with more than half your level count; deliver 3 major injuries.
Spray and pray - The gun-equivalent of 'eh, just wing it'. The spray and pray style seeks to determine proper accuracy not by aiming down the barrel, but by informing their shots by watching how earlier shots have traveled. This works well when using a high capacity, automatic weapon. Especially when using tracer rounds.
LVL 5 offensive skill. Requires 7 STR. +3 PER for every subsequent action spent firing at full-auto. Only works with fully automatic firearms.
Arnis - A fillipino fighting style that is focused on personal defense and the disarming of enemy combatants. It utilises the quickness of the user to either disarm, concuss or deflect in order to repel attackers. It especially lends itself towards those who prefer to carry light armour and remain quick on their feet.
LVL 5 defensive skill. Requires 7 DEX. When suffering a successful hit, health is calculated based on the DEX/VIT average, rather than just VIT.
Kendo - The japanese style of armed combat. It focuses itself on quick draws and decisive strikes. Due to the metal workings of Japan at the time of this style's creation being lackluster, the style puts a lot of emphasis on deflection rather than blocking, due to the brittle nature of their metal. This has led to an offensive style which capitalises on a lack of armour.
LVL 5 offensive skill. Requires 6 DEX and 5 STR. Injury degree inflicted increases based on how low enemy AP is. When attacking an enemy with an AP 1 or 2, successful hits cause major or moderate injury regardless of weapon quality. Works with all melee weapons.
Aikido - Renowned for inspiring the tactics typically used in law-enforcement and the army. Aikido was designed to help lowly civilians defend themselves against stronger warriors. Rather than striking at an enemy, users of this style will redirect the attackers movement, forcing their own strengths to work against themselves. Very useful when you're facing someone or something stronger than yourself.
LVL 6 defensive skill. Requires 7 DEX. Calculate actions and efficiency of attacks based on enemy stats rather than that of the caster. Works with all melee weapons.
HEMA - Meaning 'Historical European Martial Arts', this fighting style bases itself on the methods and practices of European warriors. Especially useful when using larger weapons; this style gives the two-handed, clumsy looking weapons a surprisingly flowing style of movement.
LVL 6 offensive skill. Requires 7 STR. Doubles actions per round when using two-handed melee weapons. Only works when using an exclusively two-handed melee weapon.
Fencing - High-brow fighting style for sword wielders, stemming from the european art of fighting with needle-like swords known as rapiers. The fencing style lends itself towards very swift, precise stabs rather than the typical slashes. Very useful when dealing with armored targets.
LVL 7 offensive skill. Requires 8 DEX. +1 AP, can only do piercing damage. On successful hits, if enemy VIT is higher than attacking stat, a successful dice roll will yield a higher degree Critical injury. Only works with swords and spears.
Gun-fu - Not as ridiculous as it sounds... Okay, maybe it is. But it's still really cool. Gun-fu specialises in mixing melee combat with guns. Very useful when caught in a bind, such as when dealing with a melee fighter at melee range when all you have is your guns. This style deals specifically with the use of grappling and kicks to give yourself proper breathing-and-shooting room, or to turn an angry hostile into a meatshield.
LVL 7 defensive skill. Requires 8 DEX. While holding only a firearm and fighting in melee range, all melee attacks do moderate shock damage. Only works when using firearms.
Muay thai - A brutal form of kickboxing that is also refered to as 'eight limb fighting'. It is remarkable due to its use of not only the fist and feet, but also the elbows and knees for delivering strikes. When done effectively, this style quickly breaks down an enemy, not only breaking their bones but also stunning them in the process.
LVL 7 offensive skill. Required 7 DEX and 7 STR. Unarmed attacks do both blunt and shock damage. Only works with unarmed attacks.
[/PTab={background-color:#181818}] [PTab=Body] BodyThe best fighters have complete control over their kinetics, allowing them to surpass the mundane movements of their fellow viro and step into almost impossible physical capacities.
Sneak attack - Hide away in the dark, keeping yourself from being noticed by an enemy. Then, when they least expect it, strike.
LVL 1 skill. Scales with DEX. Performs an attack that instantly kills low-level NPCs. Target must be below half of your own level count. If the target is higher than half your level count, it inflicts a guaranteed major injury that ignores resistance/VIT. Only works when target does not expect it.
Hold breath - You take a deep breath and hold it in. Delays drowning and asphyxiation. Does not protect against toxic gasses though, as these can still pass through mucus membranes.
LVL 1 skill. +2 VIT towards holding breath (can hold breath for equal amount of rounds as the user has VIT)

Assuming, of course, that the damage is temporary.
LVL 2 skill. requires 6 VIT. Recover from Break injury by a degree to ears.
Adrenaline rush - By learning how to activate adrenaline on will, the user can eliminate their sense of pain for a short time. Lasts 2 rounds.
LVL 3 skill. Requires 6 STR. +2 VIT.
Offensive/defensive stance - This skill allows use of both an offensive and defensive stance, although you may only use one stance of any kind at a time. In a offensive stance, you focus on raw power and reflex, which gives your attacks +1 AP, but yourself -1 AP (or -2 VIT if going below 0). In a defensive stance, you gain +1 AP to yourself and your defensive spells, but -1AP to all your attacks and offensive spells. Both stances last one turn but can be maintained with additional slots requiring no action.
LVL 3 skill. Requires 7 VIT and 7 STR.
Second wind - You get knocked down, but you get up again. Using this skill provides a self heal, and allows you to get up for free if you're prone.
LVL 5 skill. Requires 8 VIT. Using the skill more than once without a rest requires twice as many skill slots each time.

LVL 9 skill. Requires 9 VIT.
