Vocal Techniques

[KID GAMBINO.]

Isseppaku [Vocal Pressure]
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Ototon Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Special: Causes both physical and neurological pain, inducing nausea, temporary dizziness, and difficulty with balance for a single turn. Each time retrained, range increases by 1 meter. Does not discern between friend and foe.
Description: Isseppaku is quite a powerful technique created by the masters of the Sound Element, allowing advanced control over their vocal distribution. The user performs the handseals, gathering chakra within their vocal cords, allowing the pressure to build. Once enough chakra is sustained, the user screams forth in a specific direction, releasing pressurized sound waves to blast into the distance, knocking any unfortunate beings within the technique's range off their feet, and thrown a few meters behind. However, the sound wave itself is a mere meter-by-meter diameter. In addition to the physical damage, the sound creates neurological pain in the affected as well, inducing nausea, dizziness, and loss of balance for a single turn.
Domain: Ototon

Issechuuki [Vocal Paralysis]
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Ototon Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Special: Causes temporary neurological pain, inducing nausea, dizziness, and difficulty with balance for a single turn. Affects all within a 10 meter radius. Requires at least a single turn of preparation. Does not discern between friend or foe.
Description: Issechuuki was created for the sole purpose of disorientation, a method commonly used by the manipulators of the Sound Element. By focusing entirely on a method which induces neurological trauma, the user performs handseals, then musters a specific amount of chakra within their vocal cords. Once enough chakra is gathered, the user slowly releases the sound waves amplified by the chakra from their vocal cords by yelling, roaring, screaming, or any similar method. These sounds causes an audio disturbance, targeting the nerves within the affected's ear drums. In effect, the affected becomes stunned, succumbing to brief nausea, dizziness, and loss of balance for a single turn.
Domain: Ototon

Vocal Pressure: I'm okay with this.

Vocal Paralysis: I don't like the idea of a D rank technique this kind of power. Overall, the minimum level I'll accept this at is A Rank and probably at a maximum range of 20 meters, as well as requiring at least a turn to charge the technique. It's an AoE, undodgeable and unprotectable stun. The only defense would be to recognize the handseals and prevent you from doing it. I'm not a fan of a technique as strong as this. The only way I'll accept it in any way different than I've said here would be to have yourself being affected by the technique too.

[KID GAMBINO.]

A-Rank and a turn to charge, just to stun them for a turn? To me, that seems a little unreasonable. Those who see this technique with those modifications would laugh at it knowing the Melody Arm makes it completely useless, so I want at least some form of idolized versatility without making the technique too powerful or too weak. I took note of what you said and made it solely B-Rank, seeing as D- and C-Rank don't match the effect. The technique still only disorientates for a turn, and only affects an area of 10 meters, half of what you suggested. As for the user harming themself as well...still seems a bit pointless of a technique if you BOTH can't do anything.

So with what I have, can we agree on this?

A-Rank and a turn to charge, just to stun them for a turn? To me, that seems a little unreasonable.

It's not. Do you not understand the concept of an attack that hits every target in an area that is completely incapable of being defended against that completely removes character control for a turn? That's what this technique is. A single turn is all that you need to kill somebody.

I will not accept it even as it is without either you needing to spend a turn preparing the technique or your character also being affected by it. I also will not accept the ability to retrain to increase the duration of the stun.

[KID GAMBINO.]

Alright, I can live with those restrictions. A single turn of preparation and no increase in duration of being stunned.
