Super Powered N&S Classes
Super Powered Martial Artist
The Super Powered Martial Artist is a new optional O.C.C. variant, that has developed super powers into martial art powers. With the exception of their super powers, the Super Powered Martial Artist is on par with Worldly Martial Artists in terms of Martial Arts studies.
Super Powers for the Martial Artist: The character learns to develop super powers rather than standard martial art powers.
Chi: The character's Chi is equal to the P.E. attribute. However, unlike other martial artists who have learned how to harness their chi (at least on some level), Psychic Martial Artists CANNOT manipulate their chi. Like all characters, they can have their chi depleted, and zero or negative chi has the usual effects.
Super Powers: To determine the character's super powers, take a look at what martial art powers would normally be available to the character's martial art style(s). If Weapon Katas are listed as part of the character bonuses, they remain unchanged. All reference to super power types are based on Kittenstomp's Random Tables of DOOM.
*In place of each Arts of Invisibility, the character can select one power from Stealth (Minor) Powers.
*In place of each Atemi power, the character can select one power from Augmented Biology or Extra/Enhanced Limbs (Minor) Powers.
*In place of each advanced Atemi, the character can select one power from Energy Expulsion or Energy Control (Minor) Powers.
*In place of each Martial Art Technique, the character can select one power from Matter Expulsion or Matter Control (Minor) Powers.
*In place of each Chi Kata (but not Special Kata), the character can select one power from Heightened Senses, Supervision, or Extrasensory Perceptions (Minor) Powers.
*In place of each Body Hardening Exercise (including the Demon Hunter ones), the character can select one power from Enhanced Attribute, Enhanced Structural Capacity or Impervious (Minor) Powers.
*In place of each Special Kata (but not Chi Kata), the character can select one power from Locomotion or Flight (Minor) Powers.
*In place of each Chi Mastery (including advanced Chi Mastery, but not including Chi Kata), the character can select one power from Mental Powers, Dimension Warping, or Physics Manipulation (Minor) Powers.
*In place of each Zenjoriki, the character can select one Major Power, with the exception of Natural Combat Ability.
No martial art powers (with the exception of Weapon Kata, if the GM approves) can be selected. Super powers cannot be traded in for basic skill programs.
Level advancement bonuses work the same way as initial super power selections.
Example: The character has selected the Aikido style. Instead of selecting two powers from Atemi or Chi Mastery and one Zenjoriki, the character would select two super powers from Augmented Biology, Extra/Enhanced Limbs, Mental Powers, Dimension Warping, or Physics Manipulation and one Major Power.
Chi bonuses: Where a chi bonus would normally occur for the martial art style, delete the chi bonus.
