Basic Qi Rules
Read it all, even the bottom.
1) Area of Effect Qi's.
- It is possible to get an AoE Qi approved, but only under certain circumstances. In most cases, these Qi's, if approved, are considered over powered and will be on probation indefinitely. This is not a bad thing, it simply means that your Qi will be monitored, and if there is a complaint, it is noted that your Qi is AoE (this does not necessarily mean you are always in the wrong though!).
- If you are thinking of a Qi that may be AoE, PM a staff member and run your idea past them. We will try to help you make it work, but it would be a good idea to know if your idea is even possible.
2) Projectile Qi's.
-Once again, Qi flows from within the body, and it's nature does not allow it to leave the body. It is the spiritual force that is confined within yourself. It is possible though to get a projectile Qi, but your best bet is to PM a staff member and run your idea by them first. Again, we will try to help you make a workable Qi if this is what you want.
3) Body modification.
-One can modify their body in any number of ways with Qi powers. Such as increasing one's defensive capabilities, or their offensive capabilities. Increasing speed, rate of healing, making yourself a human fireball, etc. If it's just you that's changing, it's fine.
4) One's Qi can not effect another player or their Qi.
-Once again, Qi flows from within the body, and it's nature does not allow it to leave the body. It is the spiritual force that is confined within yourself.
-It is impossible to effect another players stats. You can affect your own, to an extent, but you can not increase or decrease another players stats.
5) Stat Boosting Qi's.
-Your Qi may boost your stats, but keep it mind, it is not the main use of your Qi, and increases must be kept reasonable. Multipliers are a very iffy subject, preferably, keep this to numbers and percentages.
6) The higher the gains in the Qi, the higher the requirements.
-A Qi that has maxed gain per level will have Max requirement per level, no exceptions.
7) Qi requirements will be based off of the character's starting level.
Please note that if your proposed Qi breaks one or more of the above rules, it is possible to get a trial period for your Qi.
In the event that your Qi breaks one of the above rules, namely 1, 2, and 4. Your Qi is considered outside the norm, as any anomaly in physics would be treated as outside the norm, thus studied carefully.
HINT: If you want lower stat requirements, lose some points in other stat areas you don't plan on boosting.
STATS: Qi stat reqs are based off Stats without items, and reqs should be met without items, please keep this in mind.
Qi Moves
1) The Qi must follow the basic rules.
2) The moves may or may not be different in their nature.
3) You do not have to follow a motif. (Ie, fire only, earth only). This means that you can have totally different effects for different levels.
- If this is the case, you MAY go back levels if the cicumstances you are in call for it. For example, Joe has a fire qi that allows him, at first level, to ignite his hands, and at master level, to ignite his whole body. He has achieved master level. He has a charisma cost that gets higher depending on the level. He has the option to go BACK and use first level. You are not stuck at the level of qi you have achieved. You may NOT go forward, you must meet the stat reqs, but you can go back levels.
4) The moves may provide stat boosts, but these boosts must follow the rules in the Basic rules.
5) Balance your Qi out.
- It is encouraged that one balances their Qi's strengths and weaknesses out. That way your Qi does not have ridiculous stat requirements. Any unbalanced Qi may be approved, as long as it is not overpowered. I've got no problem if you want to screw yourself (but only to a certain extent).
6) Keep the number of moves low.
-IE, one or two moves per level. That's THE MOST I'll even consider looking at. If it's larger than that, no dice.
7) It is possible to have a one level qi, but only under certain circumstances. Please PM me, or any other mod if this is something you have in mind.
Now that we have that covered, SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION!!!
Remember, I'm not a monster, I'll help you make a workable Qi. Feel free to PM me, or any other mod, with questions regarding Qi. Anything can be worked out, you just need to ask.
