Namekians

Namekians are natural healers and strong warriors, able to recover from physical damage quickly and even regrow lost limbs. With such powerful physical properties, it is no surprise to learn that Namekians can extend their limbs beyond their normal lengths and grow many times their normal size. Namekians also have amazing hearing and it is rumored that some can hear across the universe. In addition to the aforementioned abilities, Namekians have great resistance to colder climates and they rarely eat, if at all, and typically only drink water.

When using Nobiru-Ude to perform a maneuver increase the cost of the maneuver by additional two (+2T) ki points more than normal. The target must be within a clear line of sight. The attack cannot cross the path of another combatant or any type of terrain or other obstacles. When using Nobiru-Ude you provoke Counter Maneuvers for your opponents in range.

• Gigantification. A Namekian transformation that also allows you to grow to usually enormous size. This ability takes considerable energy to preform but grants your character increased physical strength and power. (See – Giant Form)

They can learn their target’s tactics during combat and capitalize on their weakness. When you fail to successfully strike (miss) a target, increase your next strike roll against the same target by two (+2T). This effect is cumulative and will stack for each fail strike roll taken against the same target. You can increase this strike roll bonus up a total of six (+6T).
