This technique allows the user to float on watery surfaces. He may float on water, oil or

blood, even, but not actively harmful substance like Acid or Lava. The user is able to

walk, run or charge normally and suffer no movement penalty while on calm water. If the

user uses this technique on rough water, he must make a Balance check (DC 15) or move

at half his normal speed until his next turn.

If the technique is used on stormy water, the user must make a Balance check (DC 20) or

move at one-quarter his normal speed and lose his dexterity bonus to defense until his

next turn, where he must remake another check. On the round the technique should end,

the user may spend a free action to sustain the technique and renew its effect on the same

round, instead of having to spend another move-equivalent; doing so still costs the user

the same Chakra Cost as it would if he used the technique normally.

Using this technique underwater has no effect until the user surfaces. When landing on

water, a character can use this technique as an instant action that does not provoke an

attack of opportunity, but suffers a -20 penalty to his Chakra Control check to perform,

must pay double the chakra cost.
