Ki
Starting at 1st level, your training allows you to harness the mystic energy of ki. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of Ki Points. Your Ki points are calculated by adding the Ki Points column of the Saiyan Fighter table to your Constitution modifier. You can spend these points to fuel various Ki Features and Special Attacks. You start knowing Seven such features: Flurry of Blows, Perfect Dodge, Stand Ground, Ki Jump, Ki Surge and Ki Dash. You learn more ki features as you gain levels in this class. When you spend a Ki Point, it is unavailable until you finish a long rest, at the end of which you regenerate all expended ki. Some of your ki features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
- Ki effect save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier
- Ki attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + Strength modifier
- If you are attacked while charging a feature, you must succeed a concentration saving throw.
- Flurry of Blows -
Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 ki point to make two unarmed strikes as a bonus action.
- Perfect Dodge -
You can spend 1 ki point to take the Dodge action as a bonus action on your turn. Due to your readiness to dodge your enemies have disadvantage on attacking you until your next turn.
- Stand Ground -
You can spend 1 ki point to guard as a bonus action on your turn. While guarding you receive half damage from all those that hit you, however you cannot move from that spot until your next turn.
- Exchange Blows -
When you are attacked, you can spend 2 ki as a reaction to make an unarmed attack.
- Ki Jump -
You may spend 1 Ki point and use a bonus action to make a jump kick at an enemy 30 feet or less away,making one unarmed strike.
- Ki Surge -
You may spends 10 Ki points to activate Ki Surge,letting you have another action on your turn.
- Ki Dash -
You may spend 2 Ki points and forfeiting your action and bonus action to Dash forwards at 4x your movement speed,passing through enemies with them taking opportunity attacks at disadvantage.
