Pressure Points Mastery IV

Pressure Points Mastery IV by Shadowknight

This feat represents the ultimate knowledge of Pressure Points outside of someone studying Ninja & Super-spies Atemi abilities. This level of skill is a results of yrs of intensive study most heroes don't have the time to dedicate to one subject. The only people that can have this level of skill is Natural Genius, Physical Training, Ancient Master, the Dedicated Martial Artist or Worldly Martial Artist from Ninja & Super-Spies This feat adds another +1 to your critical hit number. ( For if you normally do a critical with a natural 20, you now do it with a natural 17). This level of skill is the minimum of what required for things like the deadly 5 Star Heart Rending technique or the Red Sand Palm. While I won't get into what these technique will do due to their deadly nature and potential abuse by player characters. Here's a playable version of what they're capable of with this feat, you roll 1d4+1 for the number of attack required. You then need to roll a Natural 14 or higher on each attack that does only 1d4+1 damage no bonus for P.S if all 1d4+1 attacks hit your opponent that round it completely removes all current SDC from them no matter if they have 25 SDC or 500 SDC. Should you miss or your opponent parry or doge any of your attacks that round you do no further damage but it still cost you 1d4+1 of your attacks. Should you fail this feat can only be attempted vs the same opponent every 3 rds except now you need a Natural 16 of higher because he realize you are attempting to do something extremely dangerous to him. The SDC will recover 20 points per day normally or will recover after 1D4 hour after getting treatment from an Acupuncturist, a practitioner of Chi Healing or Moxibustion.

Bonus: At this level of Pressure Points Mastery you can reverse the effect of Pressure Points I, Pressure Secrets III paralyzation, blindness, deafness or Pressure Points Mastery SDC removal, not the extra damage that was done. It requires the Pressure Points Master to spend 2 attacks hitting certain Pressure points to reverse the effects. It's done automatically if the individual is sitting or lying down. If done in the middle of combat, the PPM needs to hit his patient with 1d4+1 touches of a Natural 14 or higher that does no damage to reverse the effect. Should he roll less than a Natural 14 even once he still waste 1d+1 of his attack anyway. But he can attempt it again next round for another 1D4+1 attacks. Finally because of the PPM feat & his high knowledge of biology when someone is under his care they recover from damage as if they were under professional treatment from a Doctor. If already under a Doctors care a Pressure Point Master increase the person Healing rate an additional 1D4 points per day.

Prerequisite: Min I.Q of 22 & P.P of 24, Pressure Points I feat, Pressure Secrets III feat +the Tai-Chi Skill from the Rifter magazine, HtH Martial Arts, HtH from Physical Training or MA from Ninja & Super-spies.
