Combo
Syntax: COMBO <target> <[ab] [param]> <[ab] [param]> <[ab] [param]>
Description: This ability allows you to hone your Tekura abilities and unleash a full three-attack combo at once.
You can combine stances, throws, kicks, and punches as one, including what limb they should strike.

Example: COMBO DRAIMAN MNK LEFT SPP RIGHT SPP RIGHT


BodyBlock
Syntax: BDB and UNBLOCK BODY
Description: Base chance: 25%

Although bracing your muscles in the body block will be a constant drain on your mental reserves, you will attempt to reduce all cutting and blunt damage you receive by half from other players.


Evade
Syntax: EVB and UNBLOCK EVADE
Description: Your training in physical combat allows you to dodge attacks with greater efficiency. However, the

focus this block requires is a constant drain on both your mental reserves and willpower.

You can read HELP AVOIDANCE for more information.


Slam
Syntax: SLT <target>
Description: Should your opponent be upon the ground, you can pick them up and slam them painfully back into the

ground. This throw will also counter and end any momentum a tumbling opponent may have.


Dash
Syntax: DASH <direction>
Description: Your trained physique allows you to quickly dash in a particular direction, until there is nowhere

left to go.


Wrench
Syntax: WRT <target> [<LEFT/RIGHT> <ARM/LEG>]
Description: Your strong hands can now easily grip and wrench your opponent's limbs free of their sockets,

causing tremendous trauma to that limb providing they are not standing. If it is already broken and damaged, then the trauma dealt is halved.

If all your opponent's arms and legs are crippled, they will be defenseless enough for you to forcefully wrench their neck and deliver a blow that will smash it completely. This will give them the crippled throat, smashed throat, and whiplash afflictions.


Dodging
Syntax: DODGING <ON/OFF>
Description: Your focus allows you to identify sudden attempts to upset your balance and dodge quickly out of

the way. There is a steady drain on your mental reserves in order to use this.


Kipup
Syntax: KIPUP
Description: You can kip up immediately into your last stance if someone trips you to the floor, even if you are

off balance.


Armblock
Syntax: ASB and UNBLOCK ARMS
Description: Base chance: 10%

This block will allow you to look for openings and counter with a blow to your opponent's arms when they deal direct damage to you. It requires at least one free arm to act and will drain your mental reserves to upkeep. The strike cannot be parried and will not break limbs on its own.

You may not use the leg strike block simultaneously with this block.


Legblock
Syntax: LSB and UNBLOCK LEGS
Description: Base chance: 10%

By focusing upon your footwork, you can look for openings to counter with a blow to your opponent's legs when they deal damage to you. It requires at least one free leg to act and will drain your mental reserves to upkeep. The strike cannot be parried and will not break limbs on its own.

You may not use the arm strike block simultaneously with this block.


Guarding
Syntax: GUARD <limb> or GUARD NOTHING
Description: Similar to the weapon-user's parry ability, you will guard a specific limb and effectively nullify

all damage to it if you are unhindered. However, If you are standing when you guard the limb, you will also snatch your opponent's arm and twist it, disrupting their own parry.

You can guard either the head, torso, left arm, right arm, left leg, or right leg.

You will be unable to guard a limb if you have paresis or become prone (see HELP PRONE). Being fallen is excluded from this list.


Feint
Syntax: FEINT <target> <limb>
Description: By feinting an attack towards a particular limb, you can cause your

opponent to shift their parry in fear.


Pinch
Syntax: PNB and UNBLOCK PINCH
Description: Base chance: 15%

This powerful block searches for an opening in your opponent and strikes with a pinching blow to the neck that knocks them unconscious, but only when they deal damage to you first. You will only be successful if they are under two fifth's of their maximum health and you have at least one healthy arm. This requires a lot of focus and will have a constant tax on your mental reserves.


Backbreaker
Syntax: BBT <target>
Description: If your opponent is on the ground, you may lift them into the air and bring them back first down

upon your knee, dealing sufficient damage to their torso. If they are suffering a broken limb, then the force will weaken their back momentarily. If you manage to weaken their back three times in a row, then you will snap their spine and instantly kill them.
