Yay for those approved!
Turning the Cut types into "techniques" under the Katana move is about as small as I'll go in the way of separation. They have VERY different effects, so trying to lump it all together would be very annoying to not only write, but for people to read. Later on, Katana techniques may turn to Daisho techniques to include Takezo's secondary sword when he achieves it.
Katana Techniques: 600
Requires: Physical, Debuff
Takezo carries on his person a katana stolen from the corpse of a previously slain enemy. The sword is overall 36 inches. 12 inches is the hilt and handle, with twenty four being the blade. For Takezo's height it is on the short side of proper length. The blade is proper length, but the long handle is abnormal on most swords. It is meant to allow a better leverage grip that many might see on cavelry weapons, emphasizing both control and strength, while reducing the length of the cutting edge. The sword possess a Koshi Sori, a bend closer to the tang. The most common Sori is a Tori Sori, or a curvature nearest the middle of the blade. Takezo's Sori depth is average in most ways. The Koshi Sori allows for a quicker draw and easier sheathing.
Deep Cut
Katana Variation Technique
Samurai often focus on slower, but more powerful strikes to decide a battle in as few strokes as possible. The high precision attacks were not at a Samurai's full speed, but they were considerably more deadly than flailing one's sword about and often overwhelmed the unwitting foe that attempted to block instead of evade. Deep Cut requires two hands and proper form, making it rather rigid and hard to evade, but if it lands a victim with Defense 2 lower than Takezo's attack not only takes heavy damage, but is forced in the direction of the blow; left, right, down or even thrown upwards with the force of the cut and lands prone. Each attack takes approximately three seconds to set and strike, and particularly powerful blows can interrupt the strike.
Effects: High Burst Damage, No DPS, Slight Knockback (With low Def), Prone (With low Tec)
Shallow Cut
Katana Variation Technique
This sword technique was popularized by far-traveled Samurai who witnessed the act of Lingchi. Lingchi translates to "Death by a Thousand Cuts." It was used as a form of torture and execution in China. Shallow Cut is a technique based off of Lingchi that uses shallow cuts to inflict a few seconds of bleed damage. However, it avoids major arteries and the use of excessive strength. The lighter blows means faster strikes, which allowed the swordsman to land more cuts on their target. The lack of strength for this attack allows Takezo to easily use one hand to deal the appropriate amount of damage.
Effects: Low Burst Damage, Stacking DPS (Bleed (3 seconds)), offhand open
