This technique combines grace, power and expert kenjutsu to form a beautiful and deadly attack. It is said to be the sister technique of 'Maken' of the Satsujin style.

The user makes a single attack with his held weapon, against which the target loses its Dexterity bonus to Defense. If it hits, the target suffers no damage or ill effects, but is completely numbed to physical pain for 1 round.

On the user's next turn, the target is suddenly cut and suffers 100 points of slashing damage and provokes a massive damage save, bypassing any damage reduction. The damage is dealt prior to the massive damage save, not after. The shinken attack scores a critical hit on a natural roll of 20 and deals double damage.

The target suffers no pain from the damage, even if it is killed by it. If the user's weapon wasn't a master-craft weapon with a +2 or higher master-craft bonus, it is destroyed beyond repair after using this technique.

Material Focus: The user's mastercraft double katana, kodachi, chisa-gatana, katana, large katana or wakizashi.
