Powering Up

**Powering Up:**

A character can only Charge up to his level\*3 times per battle. A 10th level character, for example, could charge 30 times in a battle. You can never charge more than this.

Everyone has three 'pools' of Ki: Their normal Ki pool, which is where your normal amount of Ki is kept. This is the only Ki pool which can regenerate, and it can not go above 100% of your normal, Maximum Ki. Your second Ki pool is your 'Charging' pool, which can keep up to another 100% of your normal, Maximum Ki in it, which is filled by any of the Charging powers, except for Mega Charge. Lastly you have your Mega Charge pool, which can never have more than 50% of your normal, Maximum Ki. Even if you havethe power Chi Overflow, the maximum for this pool is 50%, you simply can fill it twice.

Note again that your normal Ki pool is the only pool of Ki which can regenerate. Any Ki regeneration you have never applies to any other Ki pool.

Power Name: Flare

Level: X

Type: Two

Cost: 2 or 5 End

UPR: Unlimited, Counts against your maximum charges per battle

Description: You can use the power High Charge to immediately and violently expel your gathered Ki around you, instead of adding it to your Charging pool. This attack can not be parried. It deals an amount of damage equal to your (Charged Ki + all Ki damage modifiers)/4. This damage is considered Unpreventable, and costs 2 End to use.

You can also use this with the power Mega Charge, but you take a -4 penalty to your Ki strike roll because of the time it takes to gather so much energy, and it costs 5 End instead. However, this flare is so powerful it affects everyone in combat except the user.
