Athletics, Acrobatics, Endurance, Insight, HealClass Features: Hokuto Style, Touki, Deadly Fists                                                        Hokuto initiates are students of an ancient martial art. Laborious hours of study and practice make up most of these students daily life. The sifu teaching the art of hokuto must be a master of one the predominate styles. Members of the Hokuto Army, Hokuto Soke, and failed successors can study and continue the path of hokuto initiate.     Students of Hokuto strive to be the best. Only the strongest, wisest, and masterful students can move on to challenge to be Hokuto Shinken or Hokuto Ryuken successors. Sufi's give many morale and physical challenges to their students along the way to test them, these test usually prove to be very deadly.                                        These students usually decide at a young age to devote their life to this pursuit. Seldom will a developed martial artist take up the hokuto teachings as it takes a supernatural amount of focus to comprehend.                                                                                                               Examples of Hokuto Initiates in Hokuto No Ken                                   Kenshiro, Raoh, Taki, Kaioh, Ryuken, Hyoh, Han, Jukei, Jagi, Kim, Koryu, Zues, Aus, Ryu, Kuro-Yasha, Shachi, Shuken, Ryuo, Seiji                                     Class Features                 All of the following are features of the Hokuto Initiate class.                                                                                                                                                          "Of this life... I have not a single regret"                            -Raoh                                                                                                                                               Hokuto StyleHokuto is an art in practice over 2000 years. Through out the years the styles branched off and refined itself based on the practictioner. Each student most choose the fist most suited to his style.    Gem Fist: A once forbidden style, Hokuto Ryuken. Ryu and others teach it only to those with minds that are clear enough to control it. It is said all that all that have used it in the past have been driven insane by the demonic Matouki needed to fuel this powerful style. The style uses the 1109 destructive points of the human body (keiraku hakō).   Students of this style gather Matouki instead of Touki, which is the passionate energy of spirits and beings of the realm of the dead. Instead of using wisdom and perception to gather Touki, matouki is gathered from aggression, passion, violence, misery, and hatred. Any act of the above will generate one point of Matouki. This includes being attacked, making a attack, seeing violence or even being intimidated. A user can only gather 1 Matouki point per round in this manner. This is a free action.   Fighting with a Demonic Aura as its called, is the only way a user of this style can use a martial power. If the user has no Matouki left, his aura fades and he cannot use powers again until he gains at least 1 matouki.   Users can gain 1 additional Matouki for each critical hit.   Users can gain 1 additional Matouki for each target dropped to 0 HP.   Users can gain 1 additional Matouki for drawing first blood on a target.   Users can gain 1 additional Matouki for Attacking first in an encounter.   Users unarmed attacks count as 1d10 melee weapons    Divine Fist: The primary fist, Hokuto Shinken. It is a 2000 year-old Chinese fighting style that utilizes the body's 708 tsubos of the keiraku hikō to cause destruction from within. It is said that the average person only uses 30% of their body's strength, whereas those trained in Hokuto Shinken are taught to tap into the remaining 70% in order to perform their destructive techniques.   Users recieve the Dragon Breathing At-Will Ability.   Users unarmed attacks count as 1d12 melee weapons    Humane Fist: A graceful style, Hokuto Ujo Ken. Is an art that is capable of healing or destroying that which it is used on. When fatally wounded with this style, the dying experiences a great feeling of euphoria, instead of horrifying pain.   Humane Fists may choose to lose his deadly fists to gain Lay on Hands.   Each time a friendly target is healed, user gains 1 touki.   Users unarmed attacks count as 1d8 melee weapons    Soke: The original healing art, brought to life again by Sarah, Toki, and Koryu. This is a healing style that turns a Hokuto Initiate's deadly fists class feature into Lay on Hands, as the paladin ability. Healing surges per day increase to 11+Wis Mod   Users unarmed attacks count as 1d6 light melee weapons Touki    The first technique a student of hokuto learns is to gather and use their touki. As a hokuto user gathers touki he can use it to fuel powers or project as energy attacks. If a user gathers a fair amount of touki he begans to emanate a colorful aura around the users body. The color of this aura is a determined by his alignment and mood.    To gather touki, a user needs to make a perception check DC 15. If the check succeeds, user has gathered enough touki to use as a attack or a defense using a more advance technique. For every 5 points over 15 on the users perception roll, he gains an extra use of touki.    Any gathered touki is only usable for one encounter then it is released. Deadly Fists A hokuto initiate is trained to strike the pressure points on the body. This training makes any power of a Hokuto Initiate deadly. Anytime a Hokuto Initiate successfully uses a harmful power on a non-Hokuto Initiate humanoid or Nanto Initiate humanoid, the target is considered a minion.                                                                              Powers Level 1 At-Will Techniques Dragon Breathing Hokuto Shinken tap into your body's full potential.At-Will ✦ MartialMinor Action    PersonalEffect: Until the end of your next turn, you gain +2 Attack bonus and are immune to immobilization and stunning effects.1 Touki: Gain +2 to all defenses.2 Touki: Gain +3 to Attack and Defenses.3 Touki: Same as 2, and adds immunity to conditional effects.
