Death Touch

Death Touch is a martial void kiho which is the most feared of all the atemi strikes. Also known as the Dim Mak Technique the kiho is considered a myth by most people and only a handful of people know it's secrets. The attack is delivered with a gentle fingertip strike, which needs to be incredibly precise. The strike may not be performed with other kiho active. If successful the targets healing slows, and healing spells targeted against him will be more difficult. The vicim begins suffering wounds at both sunrise and sunset, and they may not be healed by any means until the Death Touch has been removed. There are two ways of removing the touch. The first is to be hit with the Death Touch a second time, and the second is the use of the Chi Protection kiho. (3E p. 258)
