All-Kick Energy Builder

maatmons

Vicious Strikes is all punches. Righteous Fists is a mix of punches and kicks. Could we get another energy builder for Unarmed which is all kicks?

My character with super-strong robot legs would really appreciate it. I'm sure various Tae Kwon Do enthusiasts would be pleased too.

raighn

that would be nice to see added yea...

I could get behind this.

While at it, I wish there were more powerful, DPS-oriented kicks as well. Dragon's Kick is probably the most usable attack of the bunch, and it still falls short in the area of doling damage.

Something like:

• Typhoon Kick - A high-energy offensive technique that throws out a rapid barrage of kicks. Typhoon Kick hits in a moderately thick cylinder, hitting 2 times every 0.5 seconds for escalating, overall high damage. Each tick has a very low chance to stun the offending target for a long duration, with this chance lowering as the maintain progresses. If fully maintained, all targets are knocked back. Since your legs are quite busy kicking, you are rooted in place while using this.
  • Advantage: Breaker Combo - Targets hit by this attack have their gravity nullified. If they were knocked prior to being hit by Typhoon Kick, they would be held in midair for the duration of this ability. This effect cannot occur more than once every 8 seconds.
  • Advantage: Soul Fury - Infuses this kick with the power of your chi, granting the move a 15ft, 120 degree cone effect that does Dimensional damage. The damage on this move is identical to a single tick of the move, but does not inflict stun or knock. It also raises the energy cost of this ability slightly. 1 point advantage.
• Lance Kick - A very powerful side-kick, Crippling Lance Kick is a charged kick that will send your enemy flying backwards while dealing powerful crushing damage. Only full-charges inflict this knock.
  • Advantage: Combat Discipline - Increases the damage that Lance Kick deals on full-charge based on your Avoidance.

I don't like the names. :P The names of the existing MA powers are more descriptive... like One Hundred Hands, Open Palm Strike, Elbow Slam, Backhand Chop, etc. Why not name the powers like one of those?

Was going for more fancy naming conventions for the moves, but I see what you mean with the names. Shining Crescent don't mean much unless you see it in action.

Instead of copying Ryu's tatsumakisen kick, why not just use a tornado kick from Tae Kwon Do? [Edit: Oh I see you want a move that hits multiple times. Not sure if the tornado kick is the right one.]

Yeah, the idea behind Hurricane Kicks is an Unarmed equivalent to Sword Cyclone. The tornado kick isn't what'll do it. HK doesn't need to have that particular animation. Just seemed like the one that wouldn't look outrageously goofy ^^;
