8 - Techniques

[Warr]

What are Techniques?

Techniques are the core actions that drive Dragon Ball: Broken Destiny’s battle system forward. With very few exceptions, most of your turns in combat will contain at least one technique in them. Techniques are divided into 4 primary categories: Basic, Utility, Defensive, and Special. You will also find Legendary techniques described in this thread, but Legendary techniques still fall under those 4 primary categories.

Techniques Slots

Each character has a limited number of “Technique Slots” that they may fill with non-basic techniques. A character begins play with 5 Technique Slots and may learn 1 non-legendary without any real-life time required(referred to as your “Starter Technique”), but must post a Technique request to begin learning additional techniques. You may expand your number of available technique slots by purchasing levels of Technique Mastery with Mastery Points.

Techniques Ranks

Non-basic, non-special, techniques each possess multiple “Ranks”. When you learn a technique, it begins at “Rank 1” and may be upgraded by making a Technique Request and spending the required amount of MP. The amount of MP required to increase a technique’s rank varies from technique to technique and may not be reduced through any means.

Technique Sheet Formatting Definitions

Type: This is where a technique will list its “type”. A Technique’s type is a descriptor of what it is, such as “Utility”, “Defensive”, “Ranged Energy Attack”, “Melee Physical Barrage”, etc.
Action: This is where a technique lists what type of Action is required to activate it. You may read more about the types of Actions in the Battle System rules.
Damage: This is a technique’s Base Damage.
Effect: This is where a technique would outline its effects. In the case of Special Techniques, this section is split into “Major Effect” and “Minor Effect.
Cost: This is where you find a technique’s cost, most commonly represented by a value to be paid for with Ki.
Ranks: This is where you would find information about what bonuses each Rank of a technique would possess. Special Techniques do not possess ranks.
Learn: This is where you find the amount of time required to learn a technique, as well as how much MP it costs to increase its Rank.

Basic Techniques

These are techniques that are accessible by any character and do not take up ay technique slots. Basic Techniques are the fundamentals of combat, and will likely occupy a majority of your actions during a battle. Each Basic Technique is classified by the subcategories of “Utility, Defensive, and Attack”. Once you reach Potential Mastery level 5, you may upgrade a single Basic Technique into its Enhanced version; this costs no MP, but takes an irreducible 1 week to learn.

Special Techniques

In our beloved Dragon Ball, each character was known for their iconic techniques that really carved out their niche in the world. From Kamehameha to Final Flash to Death Beam, these are name that we’ll never forget and always be hyped to see-- and that’s precisely what Special Techniques are, but for your own personal characters!

Special Techniques are powerful attacks that have a relatively high cost but can shift the tide of a battle in your favor. Each Special Technique takes 1 Standard Action, and its cost in Ki(or other costs, based on other effects) are paid at the time of their use. If you are unable to pay a Special Technique’s cost for whatever reason, you cannot perform that technique. Unless otherwise stated, a Special Technique targets only a single opponent.

Special Techniques do not possess ranks and may not be ranked up.

You can submit your technique by creating a new thread here: dragonballbd.proboards.com/board/12/technique-creation

Each Special Technique can be customized to your specifications based on the guidelines found below. To construct your Special Techniques, use the template below and follow these steps:

Step One: Choose a Type

Physical: Uses the Fighting skill to determine Accuracy values.
Energy: Uses the Energy Control skill to determine Accuracy values.



Step Two: Choose a Range

Melee: Target is engaged in close-range combat- this is typically for Physical Attacks only.
Ranged: Target is shot at from afar- this is typically for Energy Attacks only.



Step Three: Choose a Damage Mechanic

Single: Costs 15 Ki, Deals 3d10 Base Damage
Barrage: Costs 20 Ki, Deals 4d6+4 Base Damage
Area: Costs 25 Ki, Deals 10 Damage to up to 3 Targets and has +15 Accuracy
Finisher: Costs 35 Ki, Deals 5d8+10 Base Damage, may be used once per thread

Draining: This technique costs 5 HP in addition to its Ki cost, but deals an additional +5 Damage.

Utility Techniques

Utility techniques are ones that you use to increase your own effectiveness in battle or to reduce an enemy’s. Though Utility techniques are closely related to Defensive techniques, they are not one and the same- meaning effects interact with them differently.

Some Utility techniques may directly target an opponent to inflict them with a Status Effect. These techniques do not have a standard Accuracy roll, but instead have a self-contained “success” roll. If they roll successfully, their targets are automatically inflicted with the respective Status Effect at the beginning of their next turn. Unlike attacks which resolve after an opponent responds to them(or does not, whichever), the aforementioned Utility techniques resolve on your turn. This means that they are subject to the respective Status Effects before they respond to anything else targeting them.

In the instance where a Utility Technique would deal damage, it receives no damage modifiers unless it or another effect specifically states that it increases damage that is otherwise excluded from modifiers.

Defensive Techniques

These techniques are ones that you may use to mitigate or prevent the effects of an opponent's attacks. They are typically somewhat expensive to use- either in terms of their actual cost, or in terms of what type of Action they take to utilize. A general rule of thumb to use when looking at these techniques is that if it reduces damage somehow, the technique is relatively low cost and takes up a Bonus Action; if a Defensive Technique allows you to entirely avoid an attack and its effects, it will usually take a Standard Action and will possess a cost proportionate to how often it can be used successfully.


AURA GUARD
Your aura condenses into a quick shield, dampening a blow made against you.
Type: Defensive
Action: Bonus Action - Reactive
Effect: All critical hits are reduced down to normal hits against you. Also you resist damage modifiers on attacks that hit you on this turn, but still take natural dice roll damage.

If you do not exceed the damage of the incoming attack, negate damage from its roll as if you did. If your total damage from the attack does exceed the damage (after DR) of your opponent's, your chosen attack is considered to be as if it was performed normally in addition to negating the damage incoming; but it also adds an additional equal to the damage of your opponent's attack. Additionally, if your damage roll would reduce an attack's damage to 0, you also resist any effects it would have caused.

Legendary Techniques

Legendary Techniques are exceptionally rare abilities, each with very powerful or unique abilities. To learn a Legendary Technique, a player must first purchase Legendary Mastery in order to obtain their Legendary Technique slot. To gain access to Legendary Mastery, a character must first purchase all 5 ranks of Technique Mastery, though they do not have to fill those associated slots with other techniques. While anyone can acquire Legendary Mastery at any time(if they meet its requirements), actively learning a Legendary Technique requires EP to be spent as well.

Writing a Personal Saga to detail learning a Legendary Technique is highly encouraged!

Legendary Techniques cost 4 MP to rank up.

Base Damage: 4d6+4
Major Effect: Temper
Minor Effect: Crippling
Special Effect: When performing this technique, you roll twice for Accuracy. If both accuracy dice land on a successful hit, increase this technique's damage by +5.

Candy Beam
Perhaps the paramount of transformation techniques, originally spread by the actions of the likes of Majin Buu, the Candy Beam is a technique which utilizes arcane energy and ki to transform things and minor enemies into highly nutritious, powerful, and regenerative candies of the user's choice. Sure you can have chocolates, but have you ever ate a Gummi Namek?
Type: Legendary Utility
Action: Standard Action
Special Effect: When utilized, choose one targeted opponent and roll a 1d3. Roll an attack roll but no damage, if it hits, this technique transforms a number of non-artifact items equal to the roll's which are equipped on their person into special 'candies' which are transferred to the possession of the caster. The user of Candy Beam may choose which items are being targeted up to the number rolled, and targeted items may not be used for the rest of the battle. Targets of this technique may spend one standard action and choose one item they have equipped and spend 10 times X ki (with X being the item's rarity value with common being 1, rare being 2, mythic being 3, and the minimum ki spent equating to the user's ki cost for using Candy Beam) to transform one item back to its original form and have it re-equipped. Any other items un-equipped in this manner may not be brought to normal status until the end of battle, and they may require repairs or medical attention equal to X0 thousand zeni, where X is the user of candy beam's current class level plus one. 

In addition, it may turn a number of non-mechanical items into candies, equating to 2d3 free 'candies' from the technique, which may be increased by the higher ranks of this technique.

The candies created by Candy Beam can be used to either grant the consumer salve as well as an equal ki regeneration of 3 ki per turn. In addition, every one consumed increases the user's power level by 10% for 3 turns, not counting against the use of power-up and allowing to be stacked with itself. These candies can be consumed by the user or anyone the user wishes, and are consumed as an at-will action for one candy, a bonus action for three, or a standard action for up to six.

No more than six candies may be consumed or active by a single character at a time, and candies ate all at once provide a multiplier boost of effects but only for the amount of turns they otherwise provide. No more than 3 items on a particular player at a time may be targeted by this technique by one player.
Cost: 50 Ki
Limit: One time per battle.
Ranks:  Rank 2 reduces the cost of Candy Beam to 40 Ki. Rank 3 reduces the cost of Candy Beam to 30 Ki, allows it to work on Companion Items and provides a +1 bonus to the rolls for the number of items which are affected by Candy Beam, and a +1 bonus to the free candies it creates from the surroundings.

If you are brought to 0 HP or 0 Ki while an opponent is trapped by Dead Zone, they may return to the battle following your post. If used in a one versus one battle, the battle is immediately ended and you are considered the victor; the opponent must make a 3000 word travel post escaping the Dead Zone. This travel post may have its required word-count reduced by standard travel reductions, to a minimum of 500 words. If the target of this technique has 25% or less of their total HP, increase its chance to succeed by 20%.
