Oppression Type

**OPPRESSION**
TYPE

Oppression-type zanpakutou make use of a shinigami’s
reiatsu aura to manipulate other shinigami in a number of different ways, from
lowering a shinigami’s strength to making them start to choking with pure
reiatsu. The targets are allowed a fortitude save.

The oppressive reiatsu aura has an area of
effect equal to a 5ft. radius per level of the character. Should someone in the
area of effect beat the Reiatsu check vs. oppressive reiatsu he may not be
affected again from the same type of attack until either the battle is over or
the target leaves the affected area and re-enters (IE. if you target a stat and
their AC. they make one save but not the other. Then only one is suppressed by
the given value. If the target leaves the affected area and then returns a new
check must be made.) Under NO circumstances may a suppression effect EVER
remain if the target leaves the affected area or the oppression is shut down.
If the user is stunned, knocked unconscious, brought below 0 hp or level
drained, the suppress effect ends. The user may choose to not be affected by
his own aura. However this does not protect him from a oppression aura of
another Shinigami. No effect from an oppression aura may be lethal. Even if a
target is reduced to negative con the target is just incapacitated, and will
regain their con or other stat once the oppression has passed.

Soften armor: -2 AC of any target within the
area of affect. You may take this multiple times, each time you do subtract an
additional 2 from the target's AC maximum ½ level.

Suppress ability: -4 to a chosen stat. You
must choose this once for each stat you wish to effect. You may choose from
strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence, wisdom, charisma. If you wish
to suppress: -4str -8dex -12con you must take this ability 6 times. This
ability may be taken any number of times, its effects stack.

Suppress magic: Must have 1 suppression
ability to take, this ability will give the caster a 10% spell failure chance.
This ability can be taken up to 8 times for a total spell failure chance of 80%

Suppress movement: takes 2 suppression ability
to take, this ability will suppress 10 ft of movement. This will also affect flash
step. However this will not fully stop anyone. No matter the conditions, even
if the user suppress 100 ft of movement. a target is always able to make a 5 ft
step. This ability may be taken multiple times and the effects stack.

Oppressive aura perfection: Must have 4
suppression abilities to take, this ability suppresses the air in the area. All
targets in area instantly begin to suffocate. This ability will also affect the
user of this ability; the user has no choice to resist his own ability. Suffocation
will halt at the point of sleep. This ability is still under the limitation
that no suppress ability may be lethal

Selective Oppression aura: This requires
Oppression aura to take. The user can select to leave one target per level out
of the oppression, thus leaving them to act normally in the aura.

Greater oppressive aura perfection: Must have
oppressive aura perfection to take, as above save that the user may now target
only a single person per five HD within his area of affect. At level 5, he can
target 1 person, at level 10 he can target 2 people, 15 lets him hit 3 and 20
gets 4 etc.

Attack Suppressive Aura: While your aura is
active, you remove the damage bonus from statistics from your opponent's
attacks. This may be taken multiple times. Each time it is taken, remove 1[BW]
from their attacks to a minimum of 0[BW]
