Variant Transformations

Variant Transformations are Transformations that act as a different type of an existing Transformation. They have different Aspects but have the same (unless stated otherwise) Attribute Modifier Bonuses, Tier of Power Requirements, Stress Test Requirements and even Legendary Traits if they are a Legendary Form. All of their Traits are the same, except for any Traits listed below, which replace the existing Traits listed in brackets after them and any traits that those traits would already replace for Legendary Forms. These Transformations cannot be Mastered as they are considered to be already Mastered, but they do not gain any bonuses from Mastery that the Original Transformation would grant. Additionally, any Variant Transformations that are Alternate Form or Legendary Forms cannot gain additional stages except for Full Power and Shattered Limits. They still benefit from any lower stages.

All Variant Transformations replace the Original Transformation. Your ARC may replace a Variant Transformation with the Original Transformation under certain conditions or vice versa.

Descended Super Saiyan

• Original Transformation. Super Saiyan.
• Race. Earthling (Human Subrace)
• Aspects. Enhanced Save (Impulsive/Corporeal), High-Speed Form (Level 1), Durable Form (Level 1), Bright Aura, Draining (Level 2), Exhausting.

Diluted S-Cells (S-Cells). Increase all Combat Rolls by +1d6. This bonus is increased by +1 Dice Category for every Tier of Power you’ve reached after Tier of Power 2. For example, at Tier of Power 4, Diluted S-Cells gives an Extra Dice bonus of +1d10. At the start of each Combat Round while you are below the Injured Health Threshold, a Combat Roll of your choice gains an additional Extra Dice that is -1 Dice Category lower than the Extra Dice gained from Diluted S-Cells, until the end of this Combat Round.

When you use the Last Resort Racial Trait, you may choose to increase the Wound Roll of that attack by +2d6(T). If you do so, you automatically leave the Descended Super Saiyan Alternate Form after using that Signature Technique and suffer from Stress Exhaustion as normal.

For each Tier of Power reached after Tier of Power 2, reduce the level of the Draining Aspect by -1. If this would cause the Draining Aspect to be removed, this Trait gains the following effect:

• If you win the Opposed Insight Ability Check for Experienced Fighter, you may use the Power Up Maneuver as an Out-of-Sequence action.

Dormant Saiya Power (Raging Power). Increase the Attribute Modifier Bonuses (AG/FO/SP) of this Transformation by +3 and increase the Attribute Modifier Bonus (IN) of this transformation by +2 for each Tier of Power you’ve reached after Tier of Power 2. Additionally, increase your Maximum Ki Point Pool and your Capacity Rate by +12(T) and +6(T) respectively while in this Alternate Form. This effect applies before any other effects that occur during a Transformation.

Once per Combat Encounter, if you use the Power Up Maneuver while below the Injured Health Threshold, you may double your bonuses from Earthling Resolve until the end of this turn.

Dark Demon God

• Original Transformation. True Demon God.
• Aspects. Enhanced Save (Cognitive/Morale), Battle Uniform, God Ki, Perfect Ki Control, Natural Form, Durable Form (Level 5), High Speed Form (Level 3), Dedicated Transformation

Dark Essence (Demonic Fury). Increase the Damage Category of all Attacking Maneuvers that have 2(bT) or more Dark Energy spent on them by +1 (Standard becomes Direct, Direct becomes Lethal). If your attack would deal Lethal Damage already, increase that damage by +3(T).

Once per Combat Round, if you possess 10(bT)+ Dark Energy, you may use the effects of Kiri Drain as an Instant Action instead of paying One Action.

This Transformation is treated as if it was ‘Dark Demon’ for all Traits, Talents and effects.

Divine Shadow (Diabolical Destruction). Once per Combat Round, if you successfully deal Damage with an Attacking Maneuver to an Opponent, you may reduce that Opponent’s Ki Points by 1/2 of your Force or Spirit Modifier (whichever is higher). If you do, gain an amount of Dark Energy equal to the reduction in that Opponent’s Ki Points.

Each time you gain Dark Energy in a Combat Round, increase your Combat Rolls by +1(T) until the start of your next turn (max. +5(T)).

Dark King

• Original Transformation. True Demon God.
• Aspects. Enhanced Save (Cognitive/Morale), Battle Uniform, God Ki, Perfect Ki Control, Natural Form, Durable Form (Level 5), High Speed Form (Level 3), Dedicated Transformation

Dark Factor (Demonic Fury).  Increase the Damage Category of all Attacking Maneuvers that have a Ki Wager of 5(T) or more by +1 (Standard becomes Direct, Direct becomes Lethal). If your attack would deal Lethal Damage already, increase that damage by +3(T).

Once per Combat Encounter, by spending 6(T) Ki Points and One Action, you may create a gigantic, statue-like copy of yourself as a Minion. You do not use the Minion Creation rules, this Minion is the same Power Level as you, the same Tier of Power as you, and has your Attributes, Talents, Signature Techniques, Magical Abilities and Transformations. This Minion has the Aggressor Minion Trait but cannot gain any other Minion Traits. At the end of each Combat Encounter, this Minion disappears.

Royal Presence (Diabolical Destruction). When you first transform into Dark King, create an Aura Foundation Super Signature that costs up to 20 Technique Points. This Aura cannot gain any ranks of the Efficiency Advantage or the Inefficiency Disadvantage. This Aura is permanently active while you are within the Transformation and you do not need to pay Ki Points at the start of your turn for this Aura. This Aura has an unlimited number of rounds it can be active and therefore cannot gain any Advantages or Disadvantages that influence the number of Combat Rounds it would remain active. No other Signature Technique can gain the Aura Boosting Advantage. If this Aura has the Shield Profile, roll for Shield Durability at the start of each Combat Encounter. Additionally, an Aura with the Shield Profile will still end when the Shield Durability reaches 0 but at the start of your next turn the Aura’s effects will reactivate (you must roll for Shield Durability again).

Increase all of your Wound Rolls by your Force or Spirit Modifier (whichever is lower – your choice if they are both equal).

Destroyer Form

• Original Transformation. Ultra Ego.
• Aspects.  Enhanced Save (All), Size Increasing (Level 1), God Ki, High Speed Form (Level 3), Durable Form (Level 6), Strainless

You gain +1 Hakai Point at the start of each Combat Round. The maximum number of Hakai Points you can possess at any time is equal to 2(T).

If your base Tier of Power is 7+, increase your Attribute Modifier Bonuses (FO/IN/SP) by +2(T) and you may use the effects of Shatter Your Limits on Destroyer Form.

Armor of Destruction (Rising Hype). At the start of each of your turns, you may choose to spend 1 Hakai Point and 5(T) Ki Points to make an Energy Wound Roll. Until the start of your next turn, that result is your Armor Durability. Whenever you would take damage after calculating Soak, you can choose for your Armor to take the damage by reducing its Armor Durability instead. If the Armor Durability reaches 0, you can no longer use this effect and any surplus damage is taken by you.

Once per Combat Round, if you are successfully struck (hit) by an attack, you may choose to spend 1 Hakai Point to make an Energy Wound Roll. Reduce the damage you took by the Dice Score of that Wound Roll.

Legendary Trait

Karmic Aggression (Rampant Ultra Ego). If a character deals damage to you through an Attacking Maneuver, you gain Superiority on all Combat Rolls against that character until the end of your next turn. If a character successfully strikes (hits) you but deals no damage to your Life Points, you may immediately make an Out-of-Sequence Basic Attack against them.

If your base Tier of Power is 4+ and you are not using this Transformation in conjunction with a Legendary Form, increase the Attribute Modifier Bonuses (AG/FO/IN/SP) of Evil Saiyan by +2(T) and increase the Stress Test Requirement for this Transformation by +7.

If a Saiyan character successfully strikes (hits) you with a Physical attack, they must make a Cognitive Saving Throw, TN Very Hard. If they pass, nothing happens. If they fail, they gain +2 levels of the Rampaging Aspect until they successfully beat the save for Rampaging, even if they are not in a Transformation. Any rolls for Rampaging made due to Dark Saiyan Power must use the Cognitive Saving Throw instead of the Morale Saving Throw.

Additionally, when making any form of Physical Attacking Maneuver, you may pay 2(T) Ki Points to apply the Ki Extension Advantage to it.

False Super Saiyan

• Original Transformation. Super Saiyan.
• Tier of Power Requirement. 1+
• Aspects. Raging (Level 2), Enhanced Save (Impulsive), High-Speed Form (Level 1), Bright Aura, Temporary Form (Level 3)

Spirit Empowerment

You cannot enter Spirit Empowerment freely. To enter this transformation, you must use one of two methods: 

• If you use the Energy Charge Maneuver for an Ultimate Signature Technique with the Genki Advantage and succeed at the Clairvoyance Skill Check for Genki 3+ times, you may enter this Transformation. Instead of making the Attacking Maneuver to use the Signature Technique, you may use a Transformation Maneuver to enter this Transformation. You lose those Energy Charges and that Signature Technique cannot be used for the remainder of the Combat Encounter.
• You may use the Transformation Maneuver to enter this Transformation if you have been targeted by the Empower Maneuver at least 2+ times since your last turn and are currently benefiting from Miracle Empowerment. If your Miracle Empowerment would end, you automatically fail the next Stress Test for Spirit Empowerment.

For every 3 Energy Charge Maneuvers you’ve lost to enter this Transformation through the first method, you gain +1(T) Spirit Power. For every 2 Empower Maneuvers you were the target of since your last turn through the second method, you gain +1(T) Spirit Power.

If an Opponent has their Life Points reduced to 0 through this Attacking Maneuver, they are instantly Defeated and they cannot use or be affected by the effects of any Traits, Talents or effects that would allow them to regain Life Points, use the Will to Survive rule, or otherwise use any Maneuvers for the remainder of this Combat Encounter.

While in the Spirit Empowerment Transformation, you cannot use the Energy Charge Maneuver or the Empower Maneuver. You cannot gain any Spirit Power after entering this Transformation and at the end of each Combat Round in which you used an Attacking Maneuver while in this Transformation, reduce your Spirit Power by -1(T).
