Technique
Techniques are special abilities in SLASH'EM which can be used by the extended command #technique. After usage, you have to wait some time before the technique is ready for use again. When under 10% HP, there is a chance for each turn that you enter limit mode, under which all techniques become available, displaying LIMIT. Using a technique under LIMIT doesn't expend it. You could use it next turn again if previously prepared.
Some techniques are role-dependent, while other are race-dependent.

Technique skill level
Some of the techniques' effects are dependent on the players skill in this technique. For example a Doppelganger using their liquid leap technique is able to leap a further distance the more skilled they are in that technique.
When a player first acquires a technique, that technique's skill level[1] is set to 1[2]. For every experience level the player gains, the skill level of techniques they already know will increase[3].
