Flurry of Blows - Passive
The twin disciplines of the
Gentle Fist is best represented by the symbol of Yin and Yang; and the
Bold Step teaching believes that the
Gentle Fist is a weapon which should only be used when prepared to fully remove the threat of an enemy entirely. With this belief, they believe in holding nothing back from disabling their opponent in the most direct way possible.
Rank 1/2/3: When attacking with a Taijutsu of B-rank or above, the user may make 2 free
Basic Strikes upon the target(s). 0/1/2 of these may be used as
Called Shots.
Notes:
- A specific target may be affected by Flurry of Blows once per round.
- Free Basic Strikes made through Flurry of Blows do not count toward the users limit of "Free Strikes".

Internal Bleeding - Passive
The strikes of a Hyuuga who has trained in the way of the
Bold Step hold nothing back. While the Gentle Fist itself always appears as light strikes and taps on the Hyuuga, these practitioners focus their strikes on parts of the body which cause the most internal damage. A master of the
Bold Step is said to be able to end the life of an unexpecting target with a touch to a vital organ.
Rank 1: The user's
Unarmed Taijutsu which fully hit have a chance to inflict
Bleeding.
[Link to Bleeding rules]
Rank 2: The
Gentle Fist style now also grants +8%
Bleed chance.
Rank 3: Bleed ranks inflicted by
Unarmed Taijutsu are treated as two
Bleed ranks -only- for the purpose of removing/ignoring/etc
Bleed ranks.

Eight Trigrams: Palm Rotation - Buffing Taijutsu
A special technique of the Hyuuga clan, this technique is performed by the Hyuuga releasing chakra from every
tenketsu in their body while spinning themselves rapidly; the result being a chakra barrier to protect themselves from harm in all directions. Hyuuga loathe to mention the nausea which may or may not soon follow afterward.
Rank 1/2/3: This jutsu may be used
reflexively. Upon use, the user chooses 1, 2 or 3 seconds; the user may not perform other actions during this time, but any non-genjutsu attack which hits them is affected by a
Barrier which reduces the attack's damage by 45/55/65%. Any who attack the user during this time are attacked with two
Basic Strikes at +2 accuracy
(applied once per target)
Cost: 2.25 AP; 735 CP.
Notes:
- Requires a 10 second cooldown after use.
- This is a Barrier technique that does not have HP, and instead reduces the damage of incoming attack's by a percentage.
- This Barrier does not receive the Barrier DR as it reduces the incoming damage.
- While Eight Trigrams: Palm Rotation reduces the damage taken, it does not count as DR, and cannot be bypassed as such.
- Attacks which have their damage reduced by Palm Rotation do not receive a chance to strike the user with any secondary effects.
- Any who attacks the user are eligible to be targeted by the two basic strikes, even if their attack was not reduced by Palm Rotation.
- The user suffers a -1 dodge penalty per blocked attack (stacking up to -3). This penalty lasts the remainder of the round.

Eight Trigrams: Air Palm - Buffing Taijutsu
Emphasizing their precise control over their
Tenketsu, the teaching of the
Bold Step allows the Hyuuga to precisely release blows of chakra from their
Gentle Fist strikes, creating shock waves which my strike even distant targets.
Rank 1/2/3: The user’s
Unarmed Taijutsu may target
Airborne targets at -1/+0/+1 acc.
Unarmed Taijutsu used this way does not count as
Melee Contact, and gain +21% chance of suppression.
Cost: 2.25 AP, 820 CP, 410 CP/Rnd
Notes:
- The accuracy of attacks against the non-Airborne targets are unaffected by this technique.
- The additional suppression chance applies to Airborne and non-Airborne targets.

Eight Trigrams: Divination Field - Arena Taijutsu
More of a meditation than a technique, the
Divination Field paints the vision of the
8 Trigrams within the mind's eye of the Hyuuga. To them, the world beyond the boundary of this field ceases to exist; but within the field they are enhanced. The extreme focus of this meditation grants them heightened speed and clarity, viewing the world in slow-motion. This grants them greater range to their techniques, capable of striking all within the envisioned field.
Rank 1/2/3: The user attempts to create a
Divination Field around up to 3 targets at +1/1/2
Melee Accuracy. The user gains +1/2/2 Dodge while within the
Divination Field. Rank 3 allows the user to access the special action. Failed escape/enter attempts allow the user to make 2
Basic Strikes against the target that failed.
[Hakumei Byakugan] Rank: May only be performed by those with
Hakumei Byakugan. Functions as above, however, the user may forfeit the dodge bonus to make the first attack against a target a sneak attack.
Special Action: When making a
Taijutsu attack, the user may choose to designate the
Divination Field as the only target
(forfeiting any other targets the attack may have). If this is used, this instead turns the Taijutsu into an AoE that strikes any amount of targets that are within
Divination Field. The user may specify which targets they do and do not want to attack
(by default, all enemies)
Cost: 2.75 AP, 2480 CP, 1240 CP/Rnd
HB Cost: 3.75 AP, 4250 CP, 2125 CP/Rnd
Notes:
- May be maintained for up to 30 seconds.
- This is an Arena Technique
- Attempting to enter or exit requires a successful Taijutsu check against the user.
- An additional escape attempts may be made for 1 Ap.
- All failed checks cause the target to take 2 Basic Strikes from the user.
- Free Basic Strikes made through failed attempts do not count toward the users limit of "Free Strikes"
