Oscillatory Strike (3.5e Martial Artist Maneuver)

3e Summary::A palm thrust creates extreme oscillations in that which it hits, with multiple benefits.

Oscillatory Strike

A strike that makes even magic itself tremble.

Level: Tempered 4
Type: Action (Attack)
Prerequisite: Int 15, 5 Tempered Flow maneuvers.
Description: You make a single unarmed strike that instills extreme oscillations within whatever it hits. This has several different effects, dependant on the type of object struck. Against a living creature susceptible to critical hits, it deals 1d8 damage per initiator level (or 5d8 on a successful Fortitude save). Against objects and constructs it deals 1d6/level sonic damage, provided said object or construct would be susceptible to the damaging effect of a shatter spell (Fortitude half). Finally, the oscillatory strike can be used against certain magical Force barrier effects such as wall of force. If you succeed in an initiator level check against a DC of 20 + the level of such a Force spell, the oscillations brought on by your strike can momentarily disrupt the barrier, allowing you to move through with a 5 foot step. If this initiator level check fails by less than 5, you can still step through, but are dealt 10d6 force damage in the process.

gollark: I'd expect that warships are fairly expensive.
gollark: The UK's is... somewhat less bad, as at least recently had a vaguely credible third party, and it doesn't have a system quite as bad as the electoral college, at least.
gollark: It *is* annoying how badly many countries' electoral systems are broken.
gollark: But they didn't really want to explicitly say as much because it would sound bad.
gollark: A plausible explanation I heard about the whole thing is that the Navy was assuming that it wouldn't go away for a while, and that the people on their ships were not very at risk of bad symptoms but also likely to get infected in large numbers and couldn't really be pulled out of service.
