Chi Powers

Powers allow the user to focus Chi and use it to affect themselves and the world around them. Chi represents spiritual energy or magical power. Chi Powers can affect the body, mind, and flow of energy around the user. Some Powers can be individually leveled to improve their effects by adding Skill points. Any lesser level of the Power may still be used.

Powers may also be researched, studied or purchased. A fair price for purchasing powers is $1000 per power level and takes a week of training with a master per power level. Studying a book or other media for new powers takes two weeks per power level, and researching new powers on your own takes a month per power level. Again, studying and researching have a challenge rating appropriate to the power being learned.

The following is a short list of powers. Players are encouraged to create their own powers and methods of using them, as long as the Chi costs and effects are reasonable.

Level (L): Refers to the Power's Level, which is increased with Skills
Effect (E): The actual effect of the power
Range (R): The target or distance of the effect
Duration (D): The length of time the effect lasts (Instant, Action (or 1 Roll), Round, Turn, Hours, Days)
Preparation Time (T): The amount of time needed to prepare the effects. If labeled “Meditation” it requires the caster to be in a meditative (and vulnerable) state for the duration of the effect.
Cost (C): Base cost, can be per effect, level, duration, or range
Saves(S): The save allowed and if it negates or deals half damage.
