Abilities

Teras Kasi Artists get abilities to destroy their enemies in close, hand-to-hand combat. With special abilities like combo attacks, knockdown attacks, and even some buffs, a Teras Kasi Artist is a fearsome foe to combat against.

The four Teras Kasi Artist skill lines are: Meditative Techniques, Balance Conditioning, Power Techniques and Precision Striking. Let's look at each of these in detail.

Teras Kasi Novice

The Teras Kasi novice has taken the first steps along the path of the deadly unarmed fighter. They have learned to focus their will into turning their very bodies into deadly weapons. There are three bonuses to becoming a Teras Kasi Artist:

• Combat Bonuses:
• Unarmed Hit 2: This attack does extra damage versus a single enemy.
• Meditation Bonuses: Bonuses increase the effects of meditation.
  • Meditation: The ability to stop bleeding and to slow poison and disease. At higher levels, meditation can slowly regenerate the Artist.

Meditative Techniques

Meditative Techniques is the skill tree that focuses on the inner strength of the Teras Kasi Artist. Along this tree, the Artist learns to focus their will into their bodies, thereby enhancing several aspects of their physical selves. There are three main advantages that this tree grants the Artist:

Besides the ability to fight throughout difficult situations, Balance Conditioning grants the Artist Knockdown strikes, which are invaluable for slowing down an enemy.

Precision Striking

Precision Striking is the path for the Teras Kasi Artist who wants to place their every blow on the exact target (and therefore pool) that they desire.
