Hyperbolic Asymptote
Infinite Lotus (Counter)
Level: 4
Prerequisite: Two Infinite Lotus maneuvers
Initiation Action: 1 immediate action
Range: 10ft
Target or Area: Creature advancing and area around you (see text)
Duration: See text
Saving Throw: None


As an enemy approaches, you call into mind the idea of the asymptote - a function that creates an infinity the closer it draws to zero. You will the space around you to take on these properties - and suddenly, approaching you, if but for a moment, requires infinite energy. However, moving collapses the spacial waveform, and thus, tolerates no movement more extreme than simple arm passes.

You may use this counter when a creature attempts to move within 10ft of your current position. The movement can begin outside this area, in which case it may only be activated when the creature's movement would take to within 10ft. The creature's movement immediately stops when within 10ft of you. Additionally, no creature can move within 10ft of you by any means until you move at least 5ft for any reason. This covers both mundane and magical forms of movement (including teleportation).

Ranged attacks against you from beyond this barrier lose significant velocity, reducing all damage taken from mundane missile weapons by 15 until you move at least 5ft. Melee weapons that can reach you are not affected, and can attack you normally, as well as magical projectiles. Areas of effect warp around you, treating you as having cover until you move at least 5ft.

This maneuver is a supernatural ability.
