Duration
Has a total Duration equal to your BOD (Before any benefits are applied), higher levels of the Breaths may cause this to go down faster as explained below.
Duration used per Turn
Every turn spent in the Breaths will take away from your total Duration, once your total Duration hits 0 you can no longer maintain the technique.
- First and Second: -1
- Third and Fourth: -2
- Fifth and Sixth: -3
- Seventh: -4
Cooldown
- First and Second: 3 Turns
- Third and Fourth: 5 Turns
- Fifth and Sixth: 8 Turns
- Seventh: Can not use the breaths again until a new scene starts.
If the body or lungs are severely injured, the breaths cannot be activated until healing is received.
Mastery of the Breaths
As a user of the breaths gets stronger, they will be able to master them. Every ten points in BOD means one breath is possible to master, granted the user does 10 paragraphs a day, for three days.
Example: someone with 10 BOD would be able to master the first breath, and someone with 50 would be able to master the fifth.
Once mastery of a breath is achieved, the user can activate it with no duration limit or drawbacks. Additionally, a user of the breaths can never master the 6th or 7th breaths.
Backlash
Each tier of Backlash also has the negative effects of the lower Breaths. Check the wound system to understand what sorts of drawbacks each wound you receive entails.
First and Second: One minor wound per turn active.
Third and Fourth: One minor wound per turn active, One Moderate when deactivating the breath.
Fifth and Sixth: One minor wound per turn active, One Heavy when deactivating the breath.
Seventh: Two minor wounds per turn active, One Extreme when deactivating the breath.
Benefits
The listed benefits below do not stack if they are the same type of bonus, instead you just get the higher benefit. For example, if two tiers give a boost to SPD you only get the higher bonus. They also cannot be stacked with bonuses that require ongoing slots if they provide the same type of benefits.
Note: These benefits can allow you to go above normal limits.
