Pressure Points Animals II

Pressure Points Animals II by Shadowknihgt

This feat represents people who are great at Pressure Point attacks but don't have Atemi abilities from Ninja & Super-spies the major difference from this feat and Pressure Points I is the fact this feat is designed to work on animals, specifically mammals. Why ? Several reasons, among them is the historical fact that an Ancient Indian manuscript describes about 108 points on Elephant to paralyze and kill them. Acupuncture has been used on horse, dogs and cats. As everyone knows Acupuncture & Acupressure are virtually identical except it's done with needles the other with fingers, as for Pressure Points attacks it's basically the dark mirror to Acupressure 1 is used to heal the other is used to hurt. Anyway This feat give you +1 to your critical number and +1 to your critical multiplier. ( For if you normally do a critical with a natural 20, you now do it with a natural 19) also (if you naturally do 2X normal damage with a natural 20 you now do 3X damage with a natural 20, but only 2X normal damage with a natural 19). If you roll a natural 15 or higher, HTH you also do an additional 1d4 damage from any HTH attack.
It can also be used to paralyze Animals. But the use of such an ability cost 2 attacks per use. In game terms it works like this before you roll you tell your GM you are attempting a paralysis attack on your opponent. If you roll a Natural 16 you roll 1D6 to see how much to you temporary remove from their P.P but you do no other damage, if you roll a natural 15 or Less you do no damage period. You can do only 2 paralysis attacks per round. The Animal must make a natural 17 roll to resist the paralysis attack. The GM rolls 1D4 to see how many rounds the parallelization attack last.

Cost: 2 feats

Bonus:It cost only 1 feat for anyone with Analytical Genius, Physical Training, Special Training or the feat Intensive Training or Unusual Background

Prerequisite: Min I.Q of 20 & P.P of 20, Pressure Point feat + the Tai-Chi Skill from the Rifter magazine, HtH Martial Arts, HtH from Physical Training or MA from Ninja & Super-spies. Also the Acupuncture skill from Ninja & Super-spies, Mystic China or a Master Degree in Biology or MD

Limitation: This feat will only work on mammals, basically you can't pressure point a crab, a fish or bird. This feat won't work on Undead Animals. This feat can't be used with long range attack or Super Powers. Only (Hands, Feet, knees, elbows, finger, ect) Can't be use with slashing weapons, or piercing weapon only (staff, tonfa, sai, nun-chucks, triple irons, escrima stick, police baton, etc) basically anything with a short blunt point.

Further Limitation: This feat can only be used on( Mammals or Animals descended from mammals likes Saber-tooth Tiger, Wooly Mammoth) it can also be used on animals that's been modified like Dog Boys, Characters from After the Bomb or creature like the 3 headed dog that the Gene Slicers created. Depending on the GM it can be used of a Pegasus, Unicorn and other Supernatural Animals that are resemble normal animals. But no way can it be used on magical or Supernatural creatures even if' it's a dragon that shape shifted into a human being or a cat.
