Martial Arts Styles: MA005 Ereboxiph (Void)

Ereboxiph, AKA Shadow Boxing, is said to originate in either Hades or The Abyss, depending on the alignment of the sage being asked. Its secrets are only shared among Plutonites and Svartalfs. Although Shadow Boxing involves a lot of deceiving, dodging, and deflecting, it is a hard style. Unarmed training focuses primarily on developing a powerful, accurate knife-hand strike. Everything else that is learned is for the sake of deceiving an opponent so they do not see the strike coming. Weapons forms follow the same philosophy. It is one of the few zero-generation (pre-Bicaboom) arts still being practised, and has contributed to many Assassin-preferred styles.   Sagus Consensus Designation: MA005   Focus: Vital   Secondary focus: Weapon   Mode: Hard   AC modifier: 3   Attacks: 2   Damage: 1d6+1 or weapon +1   Critical hit: crit hit on 19-20 or as weapon +1, dam x2 or by weapon   Prerequisites: Svartalf, Plutonite   Progression:   Basic   I: Meditation, Pain Touch, Weapon Catch, Weapons: Knife, Dagger, Stiletto, parry blade/fork (any one of Swordbreaker, Parry Dagger, Sai, Jitte, Trisula), Supplement: Parry Weapons   II: Feint, Choke Hold, Concentrated Push, Weapons: Rapier, Hand Crossbow   III: Stunning Touch, Weapon Break, All-Around Sight, Weapons: Throwing Dart, Throwing Knife, Supplement: Throwing   IV: Paralysing Touch, Weapons: Shuriken   V: Distance Death, Blind Fighting, Weapon: Garrote
