Acrobatics, Deception, Persuasion, Survival Class Features: Nanto Style, Fierce, First Strike                  It is the primary rival style of Hokuto. Nanto specializes in destroying the enemy from outside through the use of hand-to-hand stabbing and slicing techniques. There are over 108 sects of Nanto Seiken, with the six primary branches being the Nanto Roku Seiken. The Roku Seiken were the guardians of the six gates of an Emperor's castle and whose fates are tied to the six Nanto stars. After the nuclear war which occurred, the Nanto masters were split into two groups: a pacifist side and a power-seeking side. Now the nanto sects are sparce and few have claimed successorship to many of the sects.                                                                                                                 Examples of Nanto Initiates in Hokuto No Ken                                   Shin, Rei, Souther, Shu, Yuda, Yuria, Hyui, Shuren, Fudoh, Jyuza, Rihaku, Toh, Shion, Solia, Shoki, Taiga, Colonel, Jackal, Dagarl, Beji, Giji, Buzz, Gill                                     Class Features                 All of the following are features of the Nanto Initiate class.                                                                                                                                                          "Me?

Nanto Koshū Ken is an orthodox style of Nanto Seiken. It focuses on stabbing and thrusting attacks, seemingly being most useful through direct contact.   Users get the Pierce At Will ability for free.   Users unarmed attacks count as 1d10 melee weapons   Swan Fist: Rei's style. Nanto Suichō Ken is the most graceful of the Nanto Seiken styles. With a focus on grace and aerial attacks, its primary usage is for close-range attacks. Like many other Nanto styles, it uses the hands or air pressure to split the body into pieces.   User can use an At-Will ability as a free action in the middle of a shift. The target has to be in normal range.   User gains Slice At-Will ability for free.   Users unarmed attacks count as 1d6 melee weapons   Crimson Crane Fist: Yuda's style. Nanto Kōkaku Ken is a style based on long-range, vertical attacks. It can attack a wide vertical range, seems to cause more damage when used for vertical slices, and is said to be so fast that the shockwave from an attack can split an enemy from the back.   Users gain 1 addition square when shifting.   User gains Bird's Prey At-Will for Free.   Users unarmed attacks count as 1d8 melee weapons   White Heron Fist: Shū's style.

Nanto Hō-Ō Ken is the most powerful form of Nanto Seiken. It is a free-form style, without stances or forced routine. Due to the lack of stance, this style has no defense against attacks, instead focusing only on pure speed and attacking power. The user has the ability to glide forward, leading into a powerful scissor attack. There can absolutely be only one successor to this style; the successor must kill his teacher.   Users gain +2 to all defenses.   Users unarmed attacks count as 1d12 melee weapons   Mother Star: Not a style, but a set of gifts bestowed onto the females in the lineage of the last chinese emporer. Precognition, healing, and survival being the most powerful gifts.   Users gain +2 to all defenses   Users must be female   Users receive Healing Word ability as a Warlord   Users must use a melee weapon to use powers.   Users are trained in survival, you may choose any other skill as a trained skill.First Strike                 Nanto initiates gain a +2 to Initiative. Fierce Nanto initiates touki is an empty gas tank ready to be filled and anything can be the fuel. Good students witnessing the innocent being wronged, evil students seeing the fear in their prey, protecting their loved ones, damaging an opponent with a power, receiving damage from a power, and so on. At first level a Nanto Initiate gains 3 methods for fueling their touki. These are chosen between the PC and GM. They can be RP dependant(preferred) or game mechanic dependant. At every additional character level the PC can replace one of the triggers for another agreed on by the GM. The more difficult the trigger the more touki can be generated. 1 touki generated for a simple trigger("When I start a fight"), 2 touki for moderate trigger("When I see the weak in trouble"), and 3 for a specific trigger("If I learn my best friend has killed my mentor"). For example, when Yuria is seen alone and is being taken to be a sex slave then to be killed, Shin's "To protect his love Yuria from harm" would result in 3 touki being generated. Simple way to balance this ability as a GM is to give the PC one of each, give the PC one Fierce trigger that could happen one/couple times a encounter[simple](i.e. "When I land a manuever","When I switch to my signature stance"), once a session[moderate](i.e. "Any time I see a Hokuto Shinken I enrage"),once per level[specific](i.e. "My companion Mako falls in battle").                                                                                                                    Powers Level 1 At-Will TechniquesPiercing Talons Nanto Attack 1A series of strikes like the talons of a savage hawk.At-Will ✦ MartialStandard ActionTarget: One creatureAttack: Dexterity vs. ACHit: 1[W] + Strength modifier damage.1 Touki: User shifts 1Lone Eagle Fist: Adds Int Mod to damage      Bird's Prey Nanto Attack 1User takes flight and slashes at his opponent from the airAt-Will ✦ MartialStandard ActionTarget: One creatureAttack: Strength vs. ACHit: 1[W] + Strength modifier damage. shift 1Touki: each addition touki the user can shift 1 additional space.Crimson Crane Fist: Adds Dex Mod to damage       Slice Nanto Attack 1User slices the air far away from the victum, air pressure rips across the battle field.At-Will ✦ MartialStandard Action     Range: 5Target: One creatureAttack: Dexterty vs. ReflexHit: 1[W] + Dexterty modifier damage.
