Limit Gate Release

To-mon Kai (Limit Gate Release)
Hachimon Tonkou (To-mon; Requires Shou-mon Kai (t))
Rank: 10 (A-Class);

Same as Kai-mon Kai except as noted above and as follow. The user opens the fifth gate. For the duration of the technique, he gains a +40 bonus to Strength, Dexterity, Speed scores His effective Chakra Signature when sensing Chakra increases by +2, and he gains a +160 enhancement bonus to Chakra Pool. He also gains a +4 bonus to Initiative checks.

Every consecutive use of any Gate-release Hachimon Tonkou technique within a 24 hours period reduces the bonus Chakra granted by opening a Gate by 40.

Each round the technique is maintained, the user suffers 10 points of damage. When the technique ends, he must succeed a Str save (DC 25) or fall unconscious for 1 minute and become exhausted. Success means that the character is only exhausted for the rest of the encounter.

The user must make a second Str save (DC 23). The character takes 2 points of
temporary Strength and Dexterity damage on a success; a failure means that the character suffers 1 point of temporary Strength and Dexterity damage for every 2 rounds the gate was open.

The user can only perform this technique while under the effects of Shou-mon Kai or with sufficient degree of mastery in it.

Mastery
With the second 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.
