Name: Imperfect Step
Class: Stepping.
Tier: I
Type: Supplementary
Range: 0-100m
Description: Having witnessed a shinigami perform shunpo, Kum0 has created his own variant of the technique. However, in the process of training it he ended up creating something else completely. Imperfect step allows the user to move at stepping speeds but sacrifices their ability to move faster than the eye can follow (an otherwise typical trademark of the step he witnessed) as such though the user moves quickly, their movements are easily readable if not downright predictable as any opponent with a keen eye would be able to keep up with them and respond. When this step is used the user leaves a trail of dark blue afterimages behind them about 10m long.

Drawback: Additionally the user must exit out of this step 5m before their targeted destination or risk their momentum carrying pushing them too far.

Name: Necrobein's Fang
Type: Soul Engineering
Tier: VI
Condition: +10
Description: [X] Formed from the teeth of the great, primordial lord hollow of the desert Necrobein whose teeth were rumored to have destroyed zanpakuto with a single bite. Necrobein's fang is aa modification to Kum0's gigai that channels his augmentation powers into a uniquely crafted, one to two handed broadsword that's as about as long as a fully grown man as it is wide making it the perfect medium to bring out the most of his offensive and defensive capabilities.

Name: Necrobein's Gum
Class: Reishi Technique
Tier: IV-VI
Type: Defensive
Range: 0-5m radius
Description: Using Necrobein's Fang as a medium, the user may have their weapon absorb reishi from any attack they are defending against. Reishi absorption equivalent to tier.

Name: Necrobein's Bite
Class: Reishi Technique
Tier: IV-VI
Type: Offensive
Range: Sword Range
Description: Necrobein's Bite coats the weapons edge with energy similar to that used in the quincy's seele schneider. The user may amplify the cutting power of their blade by increasing the overall tier of the energy coating its edge. Whilst the user may strengthen the blade's cutting power with their own reishi, any reishi absorbed by Necrobein's Gum can also be used to amplify the blade's cutting power, the user incurring no CD to do so, however the blade's cutting power is a tier lower than the reishi absorbed. (i.e if the blade absorbs a TII the blade's cutting power would be a TI)

Imperfect Step

Imean... Is this not just stepping really badly? Steps are all tier I and the type is "Stepping". If this is like a "custom step tech" not your character's HSM tech, pretty sure you can only get that at mastered step, FYI.

Necrobein's Bite

If you're able to block attacks/techs with this, it needs to be defensive type. Not binding. Binding has specific mechanics, detailed in the advantage guide, as you well know.

Abilities, however, can utilize the reiatsu or reiryouku of others for their own strength. Limits are required though; they cannot solely be fuelled with an opponent's energy.

Given the above guideline, I feel a bit iffy about approving this if you only have to pay a defensive CD and can then retaliate with an attack of the same strength with no CD. Lower the tier of the retaliation by 1 tier, or make it such that you have to enter a CD of 1 tier lower than the reflected attack, and that seems more reasonable. You're still getting "more for less" that way but it's not completely outrageous.

Imperfect Step ~ Mod souls have no stepping technique of their own and must make one for themselves, I lowered the tier to 1 but mod souls have no HSM tech of their own the way shinigami have shunpo or arrancar have sonido. And yes that's why its called the imperfect step lmao.

Necrobeins Bite ~ I think this is pretty balanced as is, considering you have mechanics like cero doble and the like and bearing in mind that the weapon only stays charged for 1 post regardless of whether i hit or miss with my blade. Also considering i have to pay the full tier equivalent to absorb the tech in question i feel im well within my means to make use of all the energy I've absorbed.

Whilst the method you suggested does make sense there's literally no difference between that and me defending the technique with a tech of equivalent tier and then firing off another tech of lower tier right after, that can already be done in a fight without the need for a technique. Also considering im already paying the full CD equivalent to absorb the tech in question, and according to the rule you also just quoted, I feel im well within my means to use the entirety of what I've absorbed.

I did go ahead and change the type to offensive/defensive

Imperfect Step
Yeah I knew that haha, I was just curious as to why you made your bespoke step 'worse' than regular steps, no problems with approving it haha

Necrobein's Bite
But you're getting to both defend and attack while only paying the defensive CD. Absorbing reishi/reiatsu and stuff is basically just flavour, for the sake of fair gameplay, you can't just pay 1 CD and get to attack and defend at the same tier.

My recommendation is not the same as "defending the technique with a tech of equivalent tier and then firing off another tech of lower tier right after," because I'm saying that if you lower the tier of the blade's attack by 1 it's fine, no CD. While you can use opponent's reiryoku you can't use it with complete 100% efficiency. I.e. you absorb and thus defend a tier VI and then your blade gains tier V sharpness. And then you pay a tier VI defensive CD.

Alternatively, you could absorb and defend a tier VI and your blade would get tier VI sharpness and you would pay a tier VI defensive CD and a tier V offensive CD.

The idea being that yes you can use the absorbed energy but you can't use all of it. Some of it is lost as waste energy etc. This is to ensure that you don't get something for nothing mechanics-wise, regardless of the fluff behind it.

Of course this entire conversation is moot since in dual type techniques, you have to pay both CDs, so I would move the bit about being able to sharpen the blade with your own reiryoku to another tech under the item.
