DB Stuff
So my players were pretty noob to the system at the time, but when they saw changeling, they saw very little reason to go with temporary transformations beyond thematic, since a permanent transformation seemed to provide everything without the hassle of wasting time to transform. (The obvious getting out of fatigue and hiding power levels not appealing to some of them) So I decided to get some more concrete mechanics for stuff like this, in addition to some general options for Changelings as well.
Improved Transformation (Changeling, Ki)
Prerequisites: Changeling, Changeling Transformation, 5 ki abilities
Benefit: You gain half of your spellscore modifier in points to improve a transformation the character has already taken, rounding down on non-whole numbers. This feat may be taken multiple times, and applied to any transformation each time, but, a character may only take it a number of times up to 1/5th their level.
Changeling De-Morphosis (Changeling, Ki)
Prerequisites: Changeling, Changeling Transformation, Having selected a permanent transformation at least once for a Changeling Transformation, 1000+ Power Level
Benefit: A character who has a permanent transformation may revert to their previous forms during a period of extended rest. This feat also allows a character to take Changeling Transformation and Improved Transformation up to 1/4th the character's total number of levels (Min. 1).
Change to Temporary Transformation:
When choosing Temporary Transformation, a character's transformation automatically gains the following, in addition to the typical boons they would reap from a transformation:
-+2 bonus to every stat, for each tier of the transformation.
-Power Level is multiplied by 1.5x +.5 per tier beyond 1.
-May build 1 special attack per 10 character levels the character has, this counts as a bonus feat and is put forth towards power level calculation. Each tier gained automatically also grants a new special attack, while also having the attacks from the previously gained tiers.
Change to Weighted Warrior:
Prerequisite adjustment: Improved Gravity Training may stand in for Heroic Attribute features.
Change to Super Saiyan:
(This we did to go along with the ideas that transformations like Super Saiyan, and Wonder Majin, drain you when you use them. We allowed it to be trained off by the same features that increase the duration on your transformations, and gave Wonder Majin equivalents. Any transformation marked as at-will is exempt.)
Stage 1: Each check made subtracts the modifier added to the roll for any check made from the character's power level, if a transformation is ended, half of this difference is taken from what their ki would be lowered by.
Stage 2: Each check made subtracts the modifying stat used for checks made from the character's power level. If the transformation ends, this is also subtracted from the character's remaining power level.
Stage 3: The same as above, but at the end of a transformation the character can make a fortitude save against their character level +20 to continue using the form. If they do this, they suffer 1 con damage. At the end of such a transformation, the transforming character suffers 1d4 con damage.
Some of the attacks I have in a word file, I`ll be chasing down the rest in my character sheets later on
Basic Destructo Disk (5d6 Damage [4], Keen [1], Vorpal [5], Ranged Attack) (Total: 7 Points) (70 Power Level)
Breaker Beam (Xd6 Damage, X=level [7+1 per die], +X Enhancement Bonus [7+1 per die], Penetrating [5], Vicious [1], Ranged Attack) (Total: 22+ Points) (220+ Power Level)
Die-Die Missiles (Xd6 Damage, X=level [7+1 per die], Add Wisdom Modifier to damage [3], Auto-Fire [4], Ranged Attack) (20 Points) (200 Power Level) 6d6 (6 blasts) at base, with extra blasts added by Auto-Fire act as "Big Blasts" that cost an extra 60 power level per blast.
Demon Combo (Adds an additional unarmed attack to the full attack action [4], Spring Attack/Combat Skill Focus (Unarmed Strike) (Shikai Bonus Feats) [3], Unarmed Attack) (7 Points) (70 Power Level)
A Tuffle race for one of our players who wanted something different, yet familiar
Tuffle
-Tuffles gain Ranged Shot advantage (4 points)
-Tuffles gain a ki ability at 3rd level and every 3rd level thereafter (2 points)
-Tuffles gain +2 to Intellect and Charisma (2 points)
-Tuffles gain +2 to Craft (Electronic) Checks (2 points)
(Tuffles are a weak race..... 10 Points)
And a flavored Prestige Path that was meant as an alternative to Student of North Kai
Student of The Sensei-Sama
You are the chosen disciple of Sensei-Sama, he has decided to instruct you in the other-worldly techniques that go with his title.
Prerequisites: In order to pursue this prestige path your character must;
Feats: Any Racial Feat or Spiritually Aware or Ki Infused, Special Attack
Skills: Unarmed Strike 15+ Ranks, Ranged Shot 15+ Ranks, Sense Motive 15+ Ranks
Special: Ki Blast Ki Ability, Superior Ki Blast Ki Ability, Must have been chosen by Sensei-Sama to inherit his powerful techniques.
1 - IMPROVED GRAVITY TRAINING [PRESTIGE]
In order to survive learning Sensei-Sama's techniques, you must go through intense training under conditions of 10x Earth's gravity. Every even level you gain 2 stat points to your attributes instead of 2 stat points every 4 levels. This works retroactivly.
2 - KAIOKEN [PRESTIGE] OR GENKI DAMA [PRESTIGE]
Upon taking this level, the character must select either kaioken or genki dama.
You learn the famed Kaioken Technique. This technique amplifies your powers by a factor determined by you. You state a number, and the following happens. Firstly, all your physical statistic modifiers are multiplied by this number +1. Secondly, your Power Level is multiplied by this number +1. Kaioken lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + Old Constitution Modifier. Once this is over, you take 4d6 times the number you called out in damage that over comes damage mitigation. (So if you called out Kaioken x3, you would take 12d6 damage at the end of it.) You cannot use Kaioken while in any transformation or Super Saiyajin state. The Kaioken is a special attack that you can teach to other students. OR
You learn the dreaded Genki Dama technique. The Genki Dama technique is charged up by spending a number of full- round actions. The number is decided by the size of the area that is being charged from. Up to a planet sized area it takes 10 full-round actions to charge. In a solar system wide area it takes 20 Full Round actions to charge. In a galaxy wide area it takes 30 full rounds to charge. Anything larger and it takes 40 full rounds to charge. Once the Genki Dama is charged, it must be harnessed as a move action and thrown as a standard action. It does 2d6 damage per Full Round action was used to charge it. The Genki Dama cannot harm beings with the same moral alignment allegiance as you (Good) and is rebounded by someone with that allegiance in a direction of their choice. Should you be struck by an attack while charging the Genki Dama, you must make a Concentration Check equal to one half the base damage (Before Damage Reduction) to remain concentrating on the Genki Dama. The Genki Dama is a Special attack that you can teach to other students.
3 - IMPROVED KAIOKEN [PRESTIGE] OR IMPROVED GENKI DAMA [PRESTIGE]
You gain the feat Improved Kaioken, or Improved Genki Dama, based on the feat you gained at the second level.
(4th, 5th, 6th and so on levels may only be taken under further instruction by Sensei-Sama. At level 4, the choice for choosing the feat NOT taken at the second level in the path becomes available, and the following level after this feat is taken, the improved feat that goes to it may also be chosen.)
God Ki and Features
Godly Ki Basics (Tested)
Godly Ki is a secondary ki pool that functions entirely separately from your primary ki pool. This pool can only be unlocked by the Godly Power Level feature. A Ki feature taken after gaining access to Godly Ki can be applied to either a regular ki pool, or your godly one. Godly Ki can be applied in any way that normal ki is, except that it functions on a 1-for-2 basis for regular applications and Normal Special Attacks. Godly Ki is never improved by a transformation unless the transformation specifies it. (Androids with biological components, so bio-android, cyborgs, etc. can gain Godly Ki, while non-biologicals cannot)
Feats-
Godly Power Level (Epic, Ki)
Special: Kaio race characters may gain this as a bonus feature upon reaching epic level. However, they must train with a kaio who already possesses this feature to gain it. Characters who gain this feature must have it taught to them, or gained by way of another feature, and now allows for the character to gain Godly Ki. Godly Ki is calculated like normal ki, though the ki features now must be declared as "normal" or godly after taking this one, excluding this feature which is always a godly ki feat.
Godly Sensing (Epic, Ki)
Prerequisites: Able to sense ki via feat, or skill focus (sense motive).
Special: You are now able to detect godly ki as if it were normal ki. Typically, you wouldn't be able to do this, even with the sense motive skill.
Godly Suppression (Epic, Ki)
Prerequisites: Able to suppress own ki via feat, or skill focus (bluff).
Special: You are able to obscure the presence of your godly ki from those who can sense godly ki.
Divine Special Attack (Epic, Ki)
Prerequisites: Able to use Godly Ki, Spellscore 20 or higher.
Special: You are now able to create special attacks with your godly ki, and use them. These are designed like a typical special attack, however, your spellscore is treated as 1.5x larger than normal. These attacks can only be used with Godly Ki, and is always a godly ki feat.
Super Saiyan God (Epic, Transformation)
Prerequisites: Saiya-Jin, Super Saiya-jin, one attack skill 24+ ranks, power level of at least 5,000, 5 other saiyans passing on ki to you which totals at least your maximum ki in base form, 30+ Constitution.
Special: You gain the one-time transformation of Super Saiyan God. This transformation increases all physical stats and your spellscore by 3.5x for your new constitution modifier in rounds. During this period, your character's entire ki pool is converted to godly ki, and they are now treated as one size larger for all positive purposes. Once this transformation expires, you gain the following bonus features: Godly Power Level, Godly Sensing, and Godly Suppression.
-Super Saiyan Beyond God (Epic, Transformation)
Prerequisites: Having taken Super Saiyan God and gained the features, 1,000+ Godly Ki, 35+ Constitution.
Special: At-Will, your stats are improved as if you transformed into a super saiyan, excepting that the power level increase only applies to Godly Ki. This is considered base form for qualifying for features.
-Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (Epic, Transformation)
Prerequisites: Super Saiyan Beyond God, 2,500+ Godly Ki, 40+ Constitution.
Special: For a number of encounters per day equal to your Constitution Modifier, your physical statistics and power level increase by 4x, in addition, you add 1/5th your character level to all statistics, except for intelligence.
