特技 Feats for this technique → Fa Jin

You can store and release kinetic energy using your cursed technique.


Cursed Energy
Starting at 1st level, you can harness your negative feelings into a usable source of energy, called cursed energy. These feelings can be harnessed into attacks or abilities. The number of cursed energy you possess is based on your class, some classes use a modifier that being charisma or wisdom (Player’s choice)

Your cursed energy DC is 8 + user cursed energy ability modifier + your proficiency bonus.


Store and Release
Starting at 1st level, you can store and release energy. When you miss with a melee attack, you gain a Jin charge. You can have a number of Jin charges equal to your proficiency bonus + your level.

You can spend a Jin charge or 1 Cursed Energy to either gain a +2 to a melee or cursed energy attack roll or deal an additional damage die for each charge spent.

You must declare how many Jin charges you are using before making an attack or using a technique and can use a number of Jin charges equal to your proficiency bonus at once. On a miss, you waste the Jin charges. You lose all unused Jin charges on a long rest.


Instantaneous Movement
At 3rd level, you gain more flexibility when using your Fa Jin. At the beginning of your turn, you can forgo your movement or spend 1 cursed energy to gain a Jin charge. You can now also use a Jin charge to increase your movement speed by 10 feet and triple your jump distance until the end of your turn or to instantly move 10 feet per charge in any direction as a reaction without provoking opportunity attacks.


Fist of Explosive Power
At 6th level, you have learned to use your cursed energy to amplify your Fa Jin. You can spend 3 cursed energy as an action to launch a blast of compressed air using Jin charges, which have different effects based on the weapon you use.

Maximize Potential Energy
At 11th level, you have learned not only how to avoid wasting your stored energy, but how to use it more effectively, granting you the following benefits:

  • When you spend Jin charges to enhance an attack and miss, you can keep a number of Jin charges up to your Cursed Energy modifier instead of losing the charges.
  • When you spend at least 3 Jin charges for Explosive Power, you can increase the range of your compressed air blast by 30 feet, which now deals thunder damage.
  • When you spend ce to gain a Jin charge, you now gain 2 Jin charges for every ce spent.
  • As an action while touching a creature, you can give them a number of your Jin charges up to your CE modifier.

Domain Expansion: Hall of Divine Bagua
At 18th level, you have learned your domain. Within your domain, you have unlimited Jin charges and at initiative 20, all creatures within your domain gain a permanent negative Jin charge, causing them to deal 1d6 less damage on their next attack or technique for each charge. These charges disappear when your domain ends.

Reversal

反転 How to gain this: Cursed Technique Reversal →

Negative Jin
You have mastered reverse cursed technique and learned the reversal of your technique. Once per turn on a hit with an unarmed strike, you can spend 2 ce to give the target 3 negative Jin charges. When that creature makes an attack or uses a technique that deals damage, you can spend any number of their negative Jin charges to deal 1d6 less damage. If this reduces an attack or effect’s damage to 0, it is nullified and has no effect.


Fist of Absorbing Power
At 6th level, as an action for 6 CE you can create a 60 feet line while wielding a slashing or piercing weapon or a 30 feet cone while wielding a bludgeoning weapon or unarmed strike. All creatures in range must make a CE saving throw. On a failure, they take 6d8 necrotic damage and gain 3 negative Jin charges. You gain 3 Jin charges for every creature that fails its save against your technique**.**
