RESTRICTIONS AND EXCEPTIONS

1-only 1 Chi move can be used at a time, no combinations. Moves that last several rounds are an exception.

2-all Chi moves are compulsive and can be used as the character is being attacked, they need not be pre meditated.

3-Chi attacks are straining and a constitution check +0 must be made after one is used. If the check is passed, there are no side effects. If it fails, the character may only defend, not attack for the next round.

4- If a Chi fighter's life is in dire danger of ending, he can (VERY RARELY and at the DM's discretion) channel forth insane amounts of energy which burst forth from his body in whatever way necessary to escape death. Conditions such as an ultimately powerful levitation breaking a fall or a bolt of energy blasting forth from the hands to fry a ruthless blue dragon are examples and show the rarity of these occurrences. For this to happen, a Chi fighter is usually one who has been very consistent and form fitting to his alignment and careful in the use of his abilities ALL of his career.
