So as you all know, we here on adbz have a rather extensive "technique-line" in the form of the kamehameha and all its variations. However, as this is an only "good-aligned" technique line, save for the dark kamehameha, I was thinking wether or not it wouldn't be nice and|or feasible to create a tech-tree with canon foundations for evil and neutral aligned characters as well.
One thought that came to mind was the fact that thanks to db super, the very idea of deathbeams/finger beams have been expanded greatly visually and might serve as a foundation for one such a tech tree or technique line. I know we already in a sense have various "death" techniques, but they don't have such a progression and uniformity that the kamehameha tree has.
So here's a list of possible additional techs which might make sense, any ideas from other players are welcome for discussion and you may always hook me up on discord for a discussion on ideas or changes as well.
Fundamentals:
None exclusive, but based on the techniques: One finger blast and energy dan (for the rapid fire deathbeam)
Advanced:
-Deathbeam (beam), 1 action, 4 DR, 8% Ki, EVIL ONLY The user channels their Ki into one of their index fingers and fires off a thin and fast beam of Ki towards an opponent. One-finger blast no longer takes up a fundamental slot. If used by Frieza, will have DR 5 instead. [proposed master: Frost]
-Empowered Deathbeam (beam), 1 action, 4 DR, 10% Ki, Pierce effect. EVIL ONLY Slightly stronger and more deadly version of the Deathbeam. Must know Deathbeam, regular deathbeam no longer takes up a slot. If Used by Frieza will have DR 4.5 instead. [Proposed master: Frost]
-Rapid Fire Deathbeam (beam), 1 action, 4 DR, 18% Ki, Pierce effect. EVIL ONLY Must know Deathbeam and Energy dan, fires off four Deathbeams [each DR 4] Although each beam carries a DR of 4, hitting multiple times does not increase Damage Rating. The benefit is that it makes it harder to dodge and can be used against multiple opponents. If used by Frieza has DR 4.5 instead.
-Full Power Deathbeam (beam), 1 action, 6 DR, 16% Ki, Pierce effect. EVIL ONLY Must know Deathbeam, fires off a much stronger and more deadly version of the deathbeam. When used by King Cold, Cell or Frieza it has a DR of 6.5 instead.
-Deathwave (other or blast), 1-2 action, 5 DR, 12% Ki. Evil Only Must know deathbeam. The user channels their ki into the tips of their fingers and unleashes it towards an opponent by swiping their hand upwards in their direction, launching a quick wave of energy at the opponent. When used by Cooler DR 5.5 instead.
Finisher:
-Emperor Deathbeam (Beam): 1-3 action, DR 8.5, 25% Ki, Pierce effect. Evil Only The strongest version of the Deathbeam, Must know Full power Deathbeam to learn. This technique is so strong that the energy will always be bright crimson. The user holds one arm behind them, charging it with a great amount of ki, swinging that arm forwards and launching a devastating beam of red energy from their index finger towards an opponent. When charged, this attack can't be blocked. When used by Frieza DR9 instead.
This is still a work in progress...
