## Chakra Pool

After 8 hours of rest, so long as you have the Chakra Initiate feat, you may spend 15 minutes meditating and move any number of ki points from the pool into your Chakra pool. This is known as investing ki, and reduces the user's ki pool by the amount of ki points invested.

Invested ki may not be spent as part of the ki pool. Ki is removed from the Chakra pool after 8 hours of rest and moved back to your ki pool. Once you have ki points in your Chakra pool, you may move those ki points to any of the Seven Chakras you can open. This is called powering your ki into a Chakra. You may power one ki point into a Chakra per round without an action, and you may spend a standard action to power an additional ki point into a Chakra. You may not power ki into a Chakra if the Chakra below it is not powered and have at least 2 points invested.

You may also remove ki from a Chakra, using the same guidelines as powering your ki into a  chakra: one for free, one for a standard action. You may both power and remove ki for free, but when using a standard action, you must either powering or removing. Ki points removed from a Chakra return to the Chakra pool.

You may power your Chakras at any time. Each of the seven Chakras are stacked on top of each other. The Chakras are, in order of lowest to highest, are the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown. So long as a Chakra is powered by Chakra pool ki, it provides benefits as listed below.

Further, when a Chakra is powered, the Chakra above it can be powered. If the number of ki points powering a Chakra is reduced to 0, and there are Chakras that are powered above it, the ki in those Chakras is automatically removed as well.

Most of the Chakras increase your ability scores by being powered. This benefit does not change your maximum ki pool, rounds of rage per day, or like depletable statistics.

### Root Chakra

The Root Chakra, located at the base of the spine, is associated with instinct and survival. You gain a +1 Inherent bonus to Strength while the Root Chakra is powered, +1 for every point of ki powering the Root Chakra to a maximum of +6.

In addition, while the Root Chakra is powered, you gain 1 chakra hit point at the end of each turn for every ki point powering the root Chakra. You have a maximum number of chakra hit points equal to twice the number of ki points powering the Root Chakra.

Chakra hit points are temporary hit points, except that they recover at the above rate, and do not decay over time, though they do disappear if the Root Chakra's power is reduced. If the number of ki points powering your Root Chakra is reduced, your maximum chakra hit points are also reduced.

### Sacral Chakra

The Sacral Chakra, located at the top of the groin, is associated with reproduction, pleasure, and emotional needs. You gain a +1 Inherent bonus to Dexterity while the Sacral Chakra is powered, +1 for every point of ki powering the Sacral Chakra to a maximum of +6.

In addition, while you have this Chakra powered, you gain a fly speed (maneuverability of average) of 5 feet per point of ki powering this Chakra, with a maximum fly speed of 60 feet. At the end of each move action spent flying in this manner, you must land on a solid surface that can support your weight, or you fall.

If you have at least 2 ki powering the Sacral Chakra, you may levitate, floating no more than 1 inch off the floor for every 5 feet of fly speed you have. If you have at least 4 ki powering the Sacral Chakra, you only need to land at the end of your turn, rather than after every movement action. If you have at least 8 ki powering the Sacral Chakra, you do not need to land at all, and your maneuverability increases to good.

### Solar Plexus Chakra

The Solar Plexus Chakra, located in the center of the belly, is associated with fire, digestion, and emotional release. You gain a +1 Inherent bonus to Constitution while the Navel Chakra is powered, +1 for every point of ki powering the Solar Plexus Chakra to a maximum of +6. This does not increase your current hit points, but it does increase your maximum hit points temporarily.

In addition, while you have this Chakra powered, you may spend a standard action to unleash a blast of pure ki as a ranged touch attack with a range of 30 feet. The attack uses Constitution as the attack modifier, and deals 1d8 damage per point of ki powering the Solar Plexus Chakra.

The attack generated by the Solar Plexus Chakra appears as golden fire, but it bypasses all forms of energy resistance (except for resistance from the Crown Chakra, below), and immunity, as well as damage reduction.

### Heart Chakra

The Heart Chakra, located in the center of the chest, is associated with compassion and the matters of love. Unlike the other chakras, it does not have an associated ability score.

While you have this Chakra powered, you may perform empathic healing. As a standard action, you may touch a target and heal them for 1d6 hit points for every point of ki powering the Heart Chakra. You take half the healed damage, rounded up, as nonlethal damage. This nonlethal damage ignores damage reduction and resilience, if applicable.

You may heal yourself with this power, but instead of healing the damage, you simply convert the damage into nonlethal damage. You can convert 1d4 hit points per point of ki powering the Heart Chakra as a standard action.

### Throat Chakra

The Throat Chakra, located in the front of the neck, is associated with sound, expression, and order. You gain a +1 Inherent bonus to Charisma while the Throat Chakra is powered, +1 for every point of ki powering the Throat Chakra to a maximum of +6.

In addition, while you have this Chakra powered, you gain the benefits of the tongues spell.

Further, while you have this Chakra powered, your Solar Plexus Chakra breath attack deals 1d10 damage per point of ki powering the navel Chakra, plus 1d8 damage per point of ki powering the Throat Chakra.

### Third Eye Chakra

The Third Eye Chakra, located in the center of the forehead, is associated with vision and magical wisdom. You gain a +1 Inherent bonus to Wisdom while the Third Eye Chakra is powered, +1 for every point of ki powering the Third Eye Chakra to a maximum of +6.

In addition, while you have this Chakra powered, you gain the benefits of the true seeing spell.

Further, while you have this Chakra powered, you gain a flexible bonus to AC and/or attack rolls. You may adjust this bonus once per round without an action at the start of your turn. The maximum total bonus you can apply is equal to the number of ki points powering the Third Eye Chakra.

### Crown Chakra

The Crown Chakra, whose bottom touches the top of the skull, is associated with divinity and transcendence. You gain a +1 Inherent bonus to Intelligence while the Crown Chakra is powered, +1 for every point of ki powering the Crown Chakra to a maximum of +6.

In addition, while you have this Chakra powered, you gain resistance to fire and electricity equal to twice the number of ki points powering the Crown Chakra.

Further, whenever you hit on an attack roll, roll damage twice, keep the higher result. This effect does not activate on a critical hit.
