Abilities

Crystallized Attack (divine, manipulate) —

Free Mind (mental) —

Sneak Attack — The creature's Strikes deal an additional 1d6 precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.

Starstrike — Any non-magical starknife becomes a +1 striking returning weapon while a yamah wields it.

On a success, the yamah's divine touch attempts to counteract the spell (counteract rank 3, counteract modifer +16). A successful counteract siphons the magical energy into one of the gems on its forceful quartz bracelet , recharging it.

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLAND / AERIALA durable frontline defender draws attention so the yamah can dart in and out, landing Sneak Attack on targets left Off-Guard.

SnareLAND / AERIALA controller that inflicts Off-Guard directly multiplies the value of the yamah's precision damage on every Strike.

WeaverLAND / AERIALA caster whose buffs the yamah can strip from an enemy turns a defensive spell into a wasted action for the opposition.

PUNISHES

✖ isolated targets✖ spellcaster reliance✖ low Reflex

Avoid stacking with another Off-Guard-dependent striker; both compete to be the one capitalizing on the same debuffed target.
