Initial Gate Release

Kai-mon Kai (Initial Gate Release)
Hachimon Tonkou (Kai-mon)
Rank: 3 (C-Class);
Range: Personal;
Target: You;
Duration: 1 round/1 chakra;
Saving Throws: None.

The user opens the first gate. For the duration of the technique, he gains a +10 Strength, Dexterity, and Speed scores. His effective Chakra Signature when sensing Chakra increases by +1. Each round the technique is maintained, the user suffers 2 points of damage. When the technique ends, he must succeed a str save (DC 15) or be fatigued for the rest of the encounter plus 1 minute.

The effects of opening the first gate do not stack with any other Hachimon Tonkou techniques unless explicitly stated otherwise. Therefore, when opening a greater gate,
any previously active gate techniques end prematurely. If the damage would reduce the character to 0 hit points, the technique ends prematurely. Unless the user wishes
otherwise, the technique ends as the encounter ends.

Using any two Hachimon Tonkou consecutively without at least a 1 minute pause in between doubles the damage taken every round.

Mastery
With the third step of mastery in this technique, the user can activate this gate as a free action for the purpose of using a more powerful gate, without actually performing this technique or gaining any of its benefits or penalties. He cannot otherwise perform the technique as a free action.
