Dragon's Mountain - Technique

l C Breaking Blow

Rank: 1

Activation: As an Attack and Support action, you may make a TN 1 Martial Arts [Unarmed] (Fire) check to enhance your unarmed blows. When you perform this action, you may choose one object at range 0–1 as the target for the burst effect.

Enhancement Effect: If you succeed, this kihō activates. While this kihō is active, when you succeed at a Martial Arts [Unarmed] check against a target, choose one worn piece of armor or readied weapon in one target’s possession. It gains the Damaged quality (see Core Book page 240) unless the target chooses to receive 2 fatigue.

Burst Effect: If you have two or more bonus successes, the chosen object gains the Damaged quality (see Core Book page 240). At the GM’s discretion, this can also be used to shatter tough mundane objects, such as wooden doors, earthen walls, and trees. If you have four or more bonus successes, the chosen object gains the Destroyed quality instead. At the GM’s discretion, this can be used to destroy even reinforced mundane objects, such as metal doors and stone walls.
