Nifft's Martial Disciplines

Schools
Crescent Moon -- The moon is understanding of, and power over, magic; weapons are dagger, quarterstaff, ray, and sickle; key skill is Spellcraft (or Psicraft, transparency pending).

Dancing Fox -- Trickery and illusion are your tools; weapons are the bola, kama, rapier and sap; key skill is Bluff.

Heaven's Arc -- Draw down the sky's arch, pull back, and release; weapons are the longbow, shortbow, javelin, and sling; key skill is Spot.

Jade Viper -- The viper embodies poison and fear; weapons are the punching dagger (katar), bite, ranseur, and saingham; key skill is Intimidate.

Sanguine Lotus -- Blood's soft rhythm gives power over flesh; weapons are the quarterstaff and unarmed strike; key skill is Heal.




*Notes:

• For the purpose of this document, "dispellable effect" shall mean the effect of any power, spell, spell-like ability or magic item that is of limited duration, and is subject to being dispelled by Dispel Magic (or similar). Spells that have been made permanent cannot be dispelled, only suppressed, and are thus not "dispellable effects". Where it says you can dispel something with an Initiator Level check, that means you roll a d20 + your Initiator level, with a DC of 11 + effect's Caster Level.
• If a maneuver or stance allows you to use a spell-like ability, you do so with a caster level equal to your initiator level.

If you have at least 16 Spellcraft ranks, you can see through any kind of magical darkness.

You can dispel effects on a willing target with a touch that does not scramble spellcasting.

Prerequisite: 2 Dancing Fox maneuvers
Initiation Action: 1 standard action

If your Bluff check succeeds, your attack is at +2, and deals an extra +4d6 damage, and steals two points of "luck" from your opponent. If your Bluff check fails, your attack is at -2, and you gain no additional benefits.

     Stolen Luck: You gain a +2 Luck bonus to attacks, skill checks and saving throws for 1 minute, while your target suffers a -2 Luck penalty to these same rolls. If you steal luck from multiple opponents, each opponent suffers the penalty, but the benefits you gain overlap (do not stack).

This maneuver is very similar to shadow conjuration or shadow evocation (including an additional Will save), except that the emulated spell is 50% real, and any save DC is 19 + Int bonus.

Initiation Action: 1 standard action
Range: Ranged attack
Target: One creature

Diverted Shot
Heaven's Arc 1 (Strike)(Arc)
Initiation Action: Full Round action
Range: Ranged attack
Target: One creature

Leaping in the air, you fire off one shot. As you land, you fire off another, deflecting the first so that it strikes down from an otherwise impossible angle.

As part of this maneuver, make two ranged attacks against a target who has cover (even total cover, though in this case, you and your target must both have a line of effect to a single point in space above both of your locations. Your attacks are both at -4. If both would hit your target's AC, your first attack ignores his cover (even total cover). Concealment still applies: if your target is hiding behind a rock and you have no means of ascertaining his specific location, you still suffer a 50% miss chance, even if both of your attack rolls were successful; but if your target is merely behind a vertical wind wall, you would not suffer any miss chance.

Point Blank Threat
Heaven's Arc 1 (Counter)
Initiation Action: 1 immediate action
Range: Ranged attack
Target: One creature within 30'

When a foe within 30' provokes an attack of opportunity from one of your allies, you may take advantage of the situation to make a ranged attack against that foe as an Immediate action. Your attack does not count as an attack of opportunity.

This round, you may make ranged touch attacks instead of regular ranged attacks. Your ranged touch attacks deal no damage; instead, each target you strike suffers a cumulative -10' speed penalty to the movement mode of your choice (regular ground speed, fly speed, climb speed, etc.) for one round.

[Nifft]

Huh, this is unexpected.

I wonder if any of my other stuff was copied over.

[FireInTheSky]

Hi!

Yeah, I copied these over a whi- HOLY CRAP it's been a long time! Geez. SirP had just done his Martial Discipline Compendium and I was working on a couple things for my Sniper class. He originally had the enworld links in there, but as I wrote in the first post, they were pretty annoying to use on there, so I ported them over.

No clue if anyone has done any other stuff.

[Amechra]

Huh, this is unexpected.

I wonder if any of my other stuff was copied over.

Speaking of copying stuff over...

Is there any way you could upload the stuff here somewhere where people who aren't part of Enworld can look at them? Pretty please?

[Nifft]

Hi!

Yeah, I copied these over a whi- HOLY CRAP it's been a long time! Geez.

Hey.

Yeah, it has been some time. 2007 was when I started that stuff.

Has there been any feedback about my disciplines? I didn't see any maneuver use on the first page of your Sniper...

There's a Trick Shot called "Martial Shot" that links to Heaven's Arc. But I don't think there's been any other feedback. It would have been in this thread, if any.
