Physical Enhancement

Chi Augmentation

  • Definition: Focus chi to enhance physical capabilities. Sub-power of Chi Manipulation.
  • Capabilities: Channel chi throughout body to boost performance beyond normal limits.
  • Applications: Chi Armor, Chi Durability, Chi Reflexes, Chi Speed, Chi Strength, Chi Healing, Physical Augmentation
  • Limitations: Finite chi capacity. Risk of overstraining body. Must adapt to amplified force. Charging requires training time. Life-Force Inhibition counters.

Chi Speed

  • Definition: Move faster using chi.
  • Capabilities: Accelerate beyond normal limits. Generate momentum through chi channeling. Peak to absolute speed levels.
  • Applications: Flash Step, Afterimage Creation, High-Speed Reflexes, Hyper Maneuverability
  • Limitations: Vulnerable to chi absorption. May be restricted to specific thresholds. Time-limited by reserves.

Chi Strength

  • Definition: Enhance physical strength through chi mastery.
  • Capabilities: Peak to absolute strength levels depending on proficiency and training.
  • Applications: Shockwave techniques, Supernatural Leap/Lifting/Strike, Earthquake Generation
  • Limitations: Countered by Chi Absorption, Strength Negation/Reduction, Life-Force Inhibition.

Chi Agility

  • Definition: Enhance agility with chi.
  • Capabilities: Heightened speed, reflexes, movement fluidity.
  • Applications: Qinggong Mastery (lightfoot techniques), enhanced dodging, acrobatic combat
  • Limitations: Chi controllers can interfere.

Chi Durability

  • Definition: Enhance durability with chi.
  • Capabilities: Withstand physical trauma from enhanced to supernatural levels.
  • Applications: Dermal Armor, Skin Hardening, Bulletproof Durability, Pressure Resistance
  • Limitations: Durability negation/bypassing can override.

Chi Reflexes

  • Definition: Enhance reflexes through chi.
  • Capabilities: Improved reaction times and dodge capabilities.
  • Applications: Auto-Reflexes, High-Speed Reflexes
  • Limitations: Reflex Dampening abilities counter.

Chi Flight

  • Definition: Fly using chi energy.
  • Capabilities: Propel through air by projecting energy beneath or surrounding self. Enhanced jumping, surface scaling, sliding.
  • Applications: Levitation, High-Speed Flight, Gliding, Air Dashing
  • Limitations: Flight Negation.

Chi Empowerment

  • Definition: Gain strength from chi.
  • Capabilities: Enhanced strength/speed/durability through chi contact. Potential age deceleration.
  • Applications: Condition augmentation, mode switching, power-shifting
  • Limitations: Requires continuous chi exposure or generation.

Chi Transformation

  • Definition: Enter enhanced state of being with chi. Achieved through meditation, training, or emotional resolve.
  • Capabilities: Enhanced physical attributes, visible energy aura, heightened senses, elemental chi manifestation, divine forms.
  • Applications: Stage Advancement, Transformation tiers, combat forms
  • Limitations: Vulnerable to Energy Immunity, Chi Absorption. Often time-limited.

Chi Entity Physiology

  • Definition: Entity whose powers are based on or made of chi.
  • Capabilities: All chi-based abilities inherently. Chi-enhanced physiology.
  • Applications: Elemental chi forms, spirit beings, chi constructs
  • Limitations: Susceptible to Chi Absorption. Power-locking by other manipulators.

Chi Shapeshifting

  • Definition: Shapeshift using chi.
  • Capabilities: Transform physical form by channeling chi.
  • Applications: Animal forms, size changes, appearance alteration
  • Limitations: Revert when unconscious/asleep. Time-limited. Cannot add/reduce mass. Must stay near own size range. Chi manipulators can interfere.
