Rules:Ki Attack Kit
|
Eligible Power Types: Ki Magic Psi |
The Ki Attack Kit is something of a misnomer. While originally only applying to Ki Blasts, these days it can apply to almost any technique or weapon. Most techniques simply require that you apply them to be updated as per the Ki Attack Kit, and afterwards you merely need to inform a staff member to update further, as per the usual Common Technique rules.
Kit Modification
You may apply as many of the below modifiers to your attack as you see appropriate, and you may apply multiple modifiers of the same kind. The only exception is that you must add sufficient Charge Capacity Extensions to, at the least, be equal to the damage the blast can generate in one post. A blast may not be charged beyond its charge cap. Please note, that while this page offers a summery of the effects of the various Ki Attack Kit upgrades, please see the linked pages, as updates to them may not always be reflected here. The specific rules page for a KAK Upgrade will always trump this page.
- Autocharge
- Adds the Natural Charge Rate of the user's PL to the attack's normal, non-charged damage. Adds 15 (11/19) tech days. Autocharges may be increased in price for non-direct damage dealing effects.
- Blast to Beam Modifier
- This changes the attack permanently to a streaming attack for 15 (11/19) tech days. The user may purchase a second level of this for an additional 15 (11/19) tech days to choose between streaming and blast.
- Charge Capacity Expansion
- Extends the Charge Capacity of the attack by twice the Natural Charge Rate of the user's PL. Adds 15 (11/19) tech days.
- Charge Rate Booster
- Increases the Natural Charge Rate of the technique by the Base Charge Rate of the PL (10%PL for Ki, 20%PL for Magic and Psionics). The Natural Charge Rate may not exceed the Natural Charge. This costs 45 (34/56) tech days
- Speed Booster
- Increases the speed at which the attack travels by 25% of the user's PL. Adds 30 (23/38) tech days.
- Drain Reduction
- Reduces the amount of stamina the attack drains from the user's stamina pool by 25% of what it would normally be. May only be applied twice. Adds 60 (45/75) tech days.
Guidelines
Things to remember:
- Unless you choose a modifier that specifically changes how much stamina the blast consumes, your Kit-modified blast will consume as much stamina as the damage it would cause on contact.
- A character can not execute an attack if it would drain more stamina than he/she posesses.
- Each modifier increases the research time/cost of your technique, as indicated.
- More powerful techniques are often more costly and difficult to deploy.
Examples
These Common Techniques have all been constructed from the Ki Attack Kit:
