Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

By using their potence and focusing a small temporal disruption into a weapon or unarmed strike, the wielder causes their strike to pass through the target without causing physical harm, but will instead cause a target to suffer from temporal flux, momentarily blasting the targets being with a shock of compressed time as the past, present, and future all converge and ripple around the victim. The victim of such an attack perceives the effect as a splintering of reality, as multiple time streams chaotically converge and overwhelm their perceptions with near-infinite sensory input. Mechanically, the wielder declares the use of this power and makes a normal attack that will deal no damage with the attack, but if the attack hits it will cause the victim to lose one or more actions on the next round. The wielder may attempt to strike the target's head if they choose, performing two simple tests which if successful, cause the target to be completely unable to act on the next round. In all cases (regardless of simple tests to strike the head), if the attack hits, the victim will lose one action on the next round. If the same target is struck multiple times in a round with this power, the loss of actions will stack. No matter how many times a victim is struck with Temporal Shock, even if multiple called shots are successful, in no case will the effects of this power extend beyond the next round. Lastly, a target who is unable to act is still able to dodge or soak attacks made against them - they simply cannot activate powers or attack.
