ki-do
|
Just as Mana flows through creation in orderly currents, so too does it flow through every living being, forming a complex network of internal energy known as Ki. Most creatures are unable to use this well of energy for anything more than the mundane tasks of daily living, but extraordinary individuals can learn to tap into the deep well of power which ties them to their enormous stake in destiny. Those who learn to channel and focus their Ki are among the greatest fighters on the Sphere, capable of fighting bare-fisted and unarmored, moving and striking like lightning, enduring any injury, and even firing off blasts of their Ki as bolts of incredible destructive power.
Students of Ki-Do ("the way of Ki") meditate for weeks beneath a waterfall, spar atop bamboo stalks, and carry enormous boulders to the peak of sacred mountains to strengthen their bodies and hone their Ki, emerging from this extreme training as fighters of the highest regard. Such training often takes place in remote monasteries which often impart religious or philosophical teachings to their students, not only to help strengthen one's connection between the body, mind, and spirit, but to provide a warrior with spiritual guidance; a fighter with no moral compass who can punch through mountains is a frightening thing indeed. For this reason, practitioners of Ki-Do are often known as Monks, and affiliate themselves with a particular god, religion, or moral philosophy. Whatever path they choose to walk, the one who walks the way of Ki has chosen a life of strength, discipline, and constantly pushing their body and spirit to new extremes of power for the sake of fulfilling their destiny. |

KI
|
Practitioners of Ki-do harness a reservoir of internal energy called Ki, which regularly generates at the start of their turn each round while under duress. The icon to the left indicates that an Arcanum has a Ki cost associated with it. If you do not have an ability that allows you to generate Ki, you will not be able to use Arcanum that requires an expenditure of Ki.

Your strong spirit and rigorous training allow you to access a pool of internal energy within you called Ki. You generate (Ki-Do) Ki at the start of your turn each round, plus 1 additional Ki if you are wearing Cloth or no armor. Ki generation only occurs when you are under duress (in combat, during a skill challenge, etc.).
You also generate an additional 1 Ki for every 1-handed weapon or shield you are wielding or 2 Ki if you are wielding a 2-handed weapon. You know a handful of Techniques which you may employ by spending a Ki point. Choose two Techniques you know and learn a new Technique every third Level (Levels 3, 6, 9, 12, etc.). |

Your strong spirit and rigorous training allow you to access a pool of internal energy within you called Ki. You generate (Ki-Do) Ki at the start of your turn each round, plus 1 additional Ki if you are wearing Cloth or no armor, and 1 additional Ki if you are unarmed. Ki generation only occurs when you are under duress (in combat, during a skill challenge, etc.).
You have an amount of Mana for casting Spells each day equal to the amount of Ki you generate per round; if the amount of Ki you generate is reduced, so is your pool of Mana (until the penalty to Ki generation is removed). If this puts you into a negative amount of Mana, you suffer an equivalent penalty to all rolls until this Mana "debt" is removed. Pick your Path and learn a total of three Spells of your choice from any of the Mysteries your Path gives access to. Learn a new Spell from any Mystery you have access to every third Level (Levels 3, 6, 9, 12, etc.). |
|
You do not use Focals to cast Spells. In fact, you cannot cast Spells unless both of your hands are free, as you require the use of two hands to perform the complex series of hand signs and motions associated with each Ki-Jutsu Spell. However, you may apply the bonuses of any Focal you are Attuned (which is in your possession) to your unarmed Spell attacks.
