God Ki

Divine ki is of a greater quality than typical Ki. While a mortal may overcome a god, the ki used by the divine is simply more intense.

God Ki

God Ki is a unique State that you enter and remain in for the entire time you are in a Transformation with the God Ki Aspect. Some situations (like the effects of the Divine Candidate Manifested Power) can allow you to gain God Ki through another means, which would result in you permanently being in the God Ki State.

God Ki Special State

-[Passive]: You gain access to Divine Ki Points.
-[Passive]: You automatically succeed at Concealment Skill Checks against those who cannot sense God Ki, even if you do not have any Skill Ranks in Concealment. Unless specified otherwise, no one can sense God Ki, except those who are in the God Ki State or have access to a Transformation with the God Ki Aspect.
-[Passive]: Against Characters without God Ki:

• Increase your Damage Reduction against their Attacking Maneuvers by 2(T). This Damage Reduction cannot be ignored or reduced by any effects.
• Increase the Wound Roll of your Attacking Maneuvers against them by 3(T).

Divine Ki Points

Divine Ki Points (DKP) are a separate pool of Ki Points accessed by Characters in the God Ki Special State. A Character in the God Ki Special State, or who has access to a Transformation with the God Ki Aspect, starts each Combat Encounter with their maximum amount of DKP – an amount equal to 6x, where x is equal to their Power Level. Whether you are in the God Ki Special State or not does not influence your amount of DKP, only if you are able to use it. If a Character gains access to the God Ki Special State during a Combat Encounter, then they will possess their DKP starting from that point forward, rather than from the start of the Combat Encounter.

While in the God Ki Special State, you may use your Divine Ki Points as if they were normal Ki Points, but there are a few important rules regarding the use of DKP:

• Divine Ki Points only use 1/2 (rounded up) of the Capacity Rate of normal Ki Points.
• The Draining Aspect on any Transformation with the God Ki Aspect also applies 1/2 of its reduction to your Divine Ki Points.
• If you use Divine Ki Points to pay the Ki Point Cost of a Maneuver, or to make a Ki Wager, you cannot also contribute to that instance of paying Ki using normal Ki Points. However, you could use DKP to pay for the Ki Point Cost for an Attacking Maneuver and then Ki Wager with your normal Ki Points, as they are two different instances of paying Ki Points.
• When using the Empower Maneuver, if your targeted Ally is also in the God Ki State, you can transfer DKP to them, instead of normal Ki Points.
• The No Energy condition for Leaving a Transformation depends on your Divine Ki Points rather than your Ki Points for Transformations with the God Ki Aspect.

Divine Attack [1/Round]: You attack with divine might.
–Maneuver Type: Standard
–Action Cost: 1 Action
–DKP Cost: Variable

The Divine Aura Maneuver, otherwise, acts exactly as the Aura Maneuver, and is considered the Aura Maneuver for any effects.

If they win any of these Might Clashes, they immediately lose the Pinned Combat Condition and may choose to spend 8(bT) Ki Points to make a Might Clash against you. If they win, you gain the Guard Down Combat Condition until the end of their turn.

If an Opponent targets you with an Attacking Maneuver while inside of your Melee Range, you may use the God Bind Maneuver, targeting them, as an Out-of-Sequence Maneuver by spending 1 Counter Action.
