Technique Compendium

This thread is here to collect both all of the techniques revealed on the site from player creation and house the manifold potential mechanics a technique can employ. This is the most livingest document on the site. This will change. Mechanics on techniques will alter as balance takes shape and a log will be kept of such changes. The most active document is found here under the technique effects and technique library but the techniques here will be considered the source of truth.
