Expanded Characteristics
Gamemasters should choose how many points starting characters may spend
on Characteristics based on the level of campaign they wish to play.
Consult the chart to the right for the amount appropriate for the
starting character. The recommended default values are 40
Characteristic points, 50 Skill points, and 400 Power Level.

How do they Compare?
Compare beginning characters with those below to build a character of
appropriate power and ability.
Character Char Skill Power
Bulma 23 39 16
Chiaotzu 31 56 530
Chi Chi 36 38 0
Master Roshi 39 71 350
Yamcha 46 57 1600
Gohan 48 47 2800
Krillin 56 82 1770
Yajirobe 57 64 500
Tien 58 78 1830
pre-Fusion Piccolo 75 102 3400
Vegeta 79 154 7500
Frieza 87 197 500,000
Goku 92 160 8000
Radditz 95 57 1250
Trunks 100 632 7 mill.

Expanded Power Level
All characters begin with a Power Level of 400. A character may
exchange Power Level with Health or Characteristics. One Health equals
one Power Level. One Characteristic Point equals 7.5 Power Levels.

Expanded Skills
The following is a new expanded skill list with new skills available to
characters (new skills are in italics):

Dragonball ZX Expanded Skill List

Body (all physical skills, running, jumping, climbing)
Control (driving, piloting, animal handling)
Evasion (dodge, evasion)
Fighting (fighting, martial arts, blocking)
Mind (sciences, knowledge, history, current events)
Performance (acting, disguise, singing)
Power (ki powers, inborn powers)
Ranged Weapon (guns, cannons, lasers, bows, crossbows)
Social (bribing, persuasion, etiquette)
Technical (engineering, vehicle repair, robotics, computers)

Expanded Experience Points
With the GMs permission, players may spend Experience Points on
raising a characters characteristics as well as skills. Use the
following cost table for spending Experience Points:

Dragonball ZX Expanded Experience Point Table
Combat: 200 XP per +10. WITH GM PERMISSION ONLY!
Physical: 150 XP per +10. WITH GM PERMISSION ONLY!
Mental: 100 XP per +10. WITH GM PERMISSION ONLY!
Move: 50 XP per +10. WITH GM PERMISSION ONLY!
Hits: 10 XP per +10 up to 1000.
100 XP extra fee to reach 1000.
10 XP per +100, 1000 to 10,000.
100 XP extra fee to reach 10,000.
10 XP per +1000, 10,000 to 100,000.
100 XP extra fee to reach 100,000.
etc.
Defense: 10 XP per +10
Skills: 10 XP per +10
Power Level: 10 XP per +10 up to 1000
100 XP extra fee to reach 1000.
10 XP per +100, 1000 to 10,000.
100 XP extra fee to reach 10,000.
10 XP per +1000, 10,000 to 100,000.
100 XP extra fee to reach 100,000.
etc.
Power Up: 10 XP per +10 up to 1000
100 XP extra fee to reach 1000.
10 XP per +100, 1000 to 10,000.
100 XP extra fee to reach 10,000.
10 XP per +1000, 10,000 to 100,000.
100 XP extra fee to reach 100,000.
etc.

For example: Tak Eons player wants to raise his characters Power
Level from 400 to 1000. This costs 600 XP plus the 100 XP fee for
reaching 1000. He now wants to raise Tak Eons Power Level from 1000 to
1500. This costs 50 XP (10 XP per +100). To go from 1500 to 10,000
costs 850 XP (10 XP per +100), plus the 100 XP for reaching 10,000.

When converting DBZ characters or scenarios to or from Total Fuzion, 1
DBZ XP = 10 Total Fuzion XP.

Expanded Rules

Initiative
In the real world, action usually happens simultaneously and with much
confusion. Adventure games, however, must keep things simple by
imposing order on the chaos, forcing characters to wait their turn and
act in order. Each Phase, the character with the highest Mental
Characteristic gets their action first. Other actions occur in order of
descending Mental Characteristic until everyone has acted. If two
characters have the same Mental, the character with the highest Combat
characteristic goes first. If they are still tied, both act at the same
time.

A character can act out of order by declaring an Abort Maneuver. An
Abort Maneuver is a panicked defensive action such as Block, Dodge,
Dive for Cover, or even some Powers if used Defensively such as
Deflection or countering one Energy Blast with another. Abort Maneuvers
must be called before any dice have been rolled for the other
characters action. Abort Maneuvers can also be used to intercept an
attack intended for another target, such as Krillin taking Garlic Jrs
blast intended for Gohan. By performing an Abort Maneuver, the
character is forfeiting their upcoming action from either later that
Phase or from the next Phase.

If a character Aimed, Blocked, Dodged, or Waited on the previous Phase,
they act first in the next Phase, regardless of Mental. If more than
one character performed any of these actions the previous Phase, then
those characters act first the next Phase in normal order of descending
Mental. Once they have acted, all the other characters may act.

For exampl e, Lady Ninja is fighting Bugaloo. Lady Ninja has a Mental of
5, Bugaloo has a Mental of 3. Lady Ninja fires a Focused Chaos Beam
at Bugaloo. Since Bugaloo hasnt acted yet this phase, he aborts his
upcoming action in order to fire a Electro Mega Blast to counter Lady
Ninjas beam. Bugaloo rolls first to manifest the power, then rolls to
attack, rolling a 25. Lady Ninja then rolls her attack. If she rolls
less than 25, Bugaloos beam hits Lady Ninjas beam and acts like a
deflection (see Ener gy Bl ast below). If she rolls higher than 25, she
fires her beam first and hits Bugaloo before hes ready.

Similarly, if Lady Ninja were attacking Fan-Boy, Mental 4, with her
sword, Fan-Boy can abort his upcoming action to Dodge or Block.

Aiming
A character may increase the accuracy of their attack by taking the
time to aim carefully. For each full consecutive uninterrupted Phase
spent aiming, the character receives +1 to attack, up to the
characters attack skill. A character may act first on any Phase
following an Aiming action, regardless of Mental. While aiming, a
character cannot move or take any action. If the character is hit by
any attack, all bonuses gained from aiming are lost.

For example, Silver may carefully aim her Heavenly Thunder Strike
energy blast for up to seven consecutive uninterrupted Phases in order
to receive a +7 bonus to strike. When she finally does strike, she will
act first that Phase, regardless of her Mental.
Holding Action and Waiting
Characters need not act when their turn comes. Characters can hold
their action until any point later in the Phase, even interrupting
other characters actions. Interrupting another character must be
called before any dice have been rolled for the other characters
action.

If a character decides, after everyone else has gone, not to act at
all, then that character may act first the following Phase regardless
of Mental.

Shockwaves
Huge Energy Blasts and impacts are likely to cause massive shockwaves
and explosive effects, if no real damage. To determine the shockwave
effect of an Energy Blast, use the following optional rule.

Each 10 dice of damage done by the blast does 1 Move knockback at
ground zero, minus 1 Move per 2 meters (1 Hex/Move) away from the
epicenter. When a ranged attack misses, it misses by 2 meters (1
Hex/Move) per difference between the attack AV and the targets DV.

For exampl e, if a 100 dice EB missed by 6, the target takes 9 Move
knockback (minus their Physical + 1 die).

Fighters who throw heavy Energy Blasts will have to be careful. If they
were only 5 Move away from their target, they'd take 4 Knockback from
the shockwave of their own blast.

Direction of the knockback is determined by the direction of the blast
impact. The location of the impact from the intended target is
determined by a random roll:
1: forward left
2: left side
3: rear left
4: rear right
5: right side
6: forward right

Keep in mind that this brings a whole new level of thought into play
for your games. For fast and dirty combats, keep to the simple rules.
It's best just to ignore reality in some situations.

Throwing and Leaping
Thrown objects and leaping characters dont always land immediately.
Use the following table to determine the amount of time spent in the
air. Simply determine how far the object was thrown or the character
leapt. The table then indicates how fast they had to be to travel that
far and how long they remain aloft. At the end of the allotted time,
the object falls back to Earth and may take falling damage. It is
assumed that the object travels a vertical distance equal to one-
quarter the horizontal distance traveled.

Rear Attacks, Surprise Attacks, Blindsiding, and Backstabbing
Characters defending from an unexpected quarter could suffer a negative
modifier to their evasion rolls. When attacked from behind, the
defending character must pass an Awareness skill test vs. a DV equal to
the attackers AV. If the test is successful, the character rolls
Evasion against the attack normally. If the test is failed, the
defender suffers a penalty equal to the difference of the attackers AV
and the defenders Awareness test to their Evasion roll for that
attack.

For exampl e, Lady Ninja attacks Bizarre from behind. Lady Ninja rolls
35 to attack. Bizarre makes an Awareness skill test, rolling a total of
20. This is 15 less than Lady Ninjas attack roll, so Bizarre suffers
15 to his Evasion roll to evade Lady Ninjas attack.

Abort maneuvers are also affected by rear attacks. When attacked from
behind, the defender must pass an Awareness skill test as above. If
successful, the Abort maneuver is performed normally. If the test is
failed, the defender is not able to perform the Abort maneuver, in
addition to suffering the aforementioned Evasion penalty.

Expanded Maneuvers
Characters may define their Martial Arts maneuvers. A basic maneuver
provides no bonus to hit or initiative and does the characters
Physical plus Fighting skill in dice of damage. Maneuver
characteristics can be re-arranged to create custom maneuvers.

For exampl e, a maneuver might have 1 to hit, -1 to Initiative, but +2
dice of damage, another maneuver might have +2 to hit, +3 to
Initiative, but 5 dice of damage.

Also, Ki can be spent on creating powerful custom maneuvers. Ki-Powered
maneuvers require a Power skill roll to manifest like other Ki Powers.
In addition to the list below, any Energy Blast Special Effect can be
added to a Ki-powered maneuver. Ki-powered maneuvers may call upon Ki
powers the character may not normally know, but the powers are only
available to that attack.

For exampl e, Bugaboo wants to create a Powered maneuver called
"Electric Tiger Smash" that does +30 dice of damage, +10 to hit, and +4
to initiative. This maneuver would cost 200 Power to perform, would
require 1 Phase to prepare, and would take up one of Bugaboo's allotted
powers (see Ki Power s below).

Expanded Maneuvers Costs
Dice of damage: 5 Power per +1 dice of damage
Modifier to Initiative: 10 Power per +1 initiative for that
maneuver only. Requires 1 phase preparation.
Modifier to Hit: 1 Power per +1 to Hit for that maneuver.
Modifier to Evade/Block: 1 Power per +1 to specific Evasion and
Block maneuvers.

Expanded Grabs
Grab maneuvers are under-developed in DBZ. To correct this, here are
expanded Grab information.

Grab
A basic grab is reaching out with your hand(s) and clutching your
opponent, either around the chest or around an appendage like a leg,
ankle, wrist, or arm. A Grab can also be used against an opponents
weapon, loose clothes, or any device they might be holding. To resolve
a Grab, the attacker must pass a skill test using Combat + Fighting +
3d6 2 for the AV vs. a DV equal to the defenders Combat + Fighting
(Weapon is grabbing an item) + 3d6. If the attacker wins, the
defenders appendage or item is grabbed. The defender may immediately
try to break free. To break free, the defender must pass an opposed
skill test using Physical + Body + 3d6 vs. the attackers Physical +
Body + 3d6. If the opponent wins, he breaks free of the Grab. If the
attacker wins, he has hold of the opponent at the beginning of the next
action or phase, or, if he was grabbing an item, has wrested the item
away from the opponent.

If the opponent is successfully Grabbed and held (see above), the
attacker may choose to continue to hold, pin, choke, or throw the
opponent.

For exampl e, Bizarre tries to grab Lady Ninja around her shoulders. He
attacks with his Combat + Fighting + 3d6 2 for a total AV of 41. Lady
Ninja attempts to evade with a her Combat + Evasion + 3d6 for a total
DV of 39. She is grabbed! She immediately tries to break free, rolling
her Physical + Body + 3d6 for a total AV of 27 vs. Bizarres Physical +
Body + 3d6 for a total DV of 35. Lady Ninja is grabbed.

Hold
A held character takes damage equal to the attackers Physical +
Fighting in dice. While held, both the attacker and defender suffer 3
to all evasions when attacked by others. The held character must use an
action to break free. To break free, the defender must pass an opposed
skill test using Physical + Body + 3d6 vs. the attackers Physical +
Body + 3d6. If the opponent wins, he breaks free of the Grab. If the
attacker wins, he has hold of the opponent at the beginning of the next
action or phase and the defender takes the attackers Physical +
Fighting in dice of damage. If the character has multiple actions in a
Phase, he may attempt to break free once per action. The character is
held until either he breaks free or the attacker lets him go.

While held, the attacker may forego damage in order to force the
defender to move a certain direction. The attacker can force both
character to move a distance equal to his Move minus the defenders
Move.

For exampl e, Bizarre has successfully grabbed Lady Ninja. On his
action, he foregoes doing damage and tries to move her towards a
waiting paddy wagon to capture her. He may force her to move Zero hexes
(his Move of 5 minus her Move of 5), so they struggle and get nowhere.
On Lady Ninjas action, she attempts to break free, rolling her
Physical + Body + 3d6 for a total AV of 29 vs. Bizarres Physical +
Body + 3d6 for a total DV of 32. Lady Ninja is still held in Bizarres
mighty arms. If they were to be attacked that Phase, they would both be
3 to their evasion attempts.

Pin
Whereas a hold allows the attacker to maneuver his opponent, a Pin
stops all movement, holding the opponent immobile on the ground. To pin
an opponent, the opponent must be successfully grabbed, then the
attacker must pass a skill test using Combat + Fighting + 3d6 3 vs.
the opponents Combat + Fighting + 3d6. If the attacker wins, the
target is pinned and suffers 3 to escape. The defender Both attacker
and defender are immobile, suffer 3 to all evasion attempts, and the
defender takes the attackers Physical + Fighting in dice of damage.
The defender will remain pinned until the either he escapes or the
attacker decides to let him go. If the defender wins, the pin has
failed and the defender breaks free.

For exampl e, Bizarre has Lady Ninja in a hold but is unable to move
her. On his action, he attempts to convert the hold into a pin, rolling
his Combat + Fighting + 3d6 3 for a total AV of 39 vs. Lady Ninjas
Combat + Fighting + 3d6 for a total AV of 33. Bizarre successfully
converts the Hold into a Pin, doing 40 dice damage! Lady Ninja attempts
to escape, rolling her Physical + Body + 3d6 3 for a total of 27 vs.
Bizarres Physical + Body + 3d6 for a total of 32. Lady Ninja will take
40 dice, or 126 points of damage while she remains pinned until Bizarre
lets her go or she escapes.
Throw
A character can throw a grabbed opponent using the standard throwing
table. Remember that default setting on the table is for throwing a
baseball-sized object. The table must be adjusted down when throwing
woman- or man-sized objects.

Hitting a target with a thrown object requires passing a skill test
using Combat + Body skill vs. the targets evasion attempt.

For exampl e, Bizarre has pinned Lady Ninja. On his action, Bizarre
picks Lady Ninja up and throws her. He rolls a die and adds his
Physical for a total result of 23. The table indicates he can throw a
baseball 40 km. Lady Ninja is an grown woman, so he adjusts the table
up three rows, indicating 5 km. Using the Throwing and Leaping chart
above, she will reach an altitude of 2.5 km and remain aloft for 30
seconds (10 phases) before crashing back down to earth, taking (2,500
Move divided by 3) 833 dice of falling damage!

Expanded Tackles and Slams
The Fuzion rules provide several methods for tackling an opponent.

Collision
Straight out flying into the opponent. Collisions do 1 dice every 3
hexes/Phase velocity. However, both combatants take full damage and
wind up knocked down.

For exampl e, Silver and Bugaboo are hovering 100 hexes apart. Silver
decides to just slam into him at 100 hexes/Phase with no penalty. Both
combatants take 30 dice damage, or 112 points of damage each!

At greater distances and higher velocities, the damage increases.

For exampl e, Silver and Bugaboo are hovering 1 km apart. She flies at
him at Mach 1. Silver decides to just slam into him with no penalty.
But both combatants take 166 dice damage, or 591 points of damage each!

Move By
Full Move and attack during movement with a -2 penalty to attack and
any evasion rolls that phase. Damage equals (Physical/2) + 1 die for
every 5 hexes/Phase velocity. The attacker takes one-third of the
indicated damage.

For exampl e, Silver and Bugaboo are 100 hexes apart. Silver decides to
try to hit him and keep flying (Move By) at 100 hexes/Phase. She
suffers -2 to hit, and at -2 to evade his hits. She hits, doing
(13/2=)7 + (100 hexes/Phase/5=)20 = 27 dice damage, or 90 points of
damage to Bugaboo. Silver takes 30 points of damage herself, and
finishes her Movement action.

At greater distances and higher velocities, the damage increases.

For exampl e, Silver and Bugaboo are hovering 1 km apart. She flies at
him at Mach 2. Silver decides to try to hit him and keep flying (Move
By). She suffers -2 to hit, and at -2 to evade his hits. She hits,
doing (13/2=)7 + (500 hexes/5=)100 = 107 dice damage, or 378 points of
damage. She takes 126 points of damage and continues flying for another
1 km.

Move Thru
Full Move and attack at end of move with a -1 penalty for every 5 hexes
traveled and a penalty of -3 to all evasion rolls that Phase. Damage
equals Physical + 1 die for every 2.5 hexes/Phase velocity; the
attacker takes one-half the indicated damage.

For exampl e, Silver and Bugaboo are hovering 10 hexes apart. Silver
decides to fly into him at 10 hexes/Phase without hurting herself too
much (Move Thru). Shes at -2 to attack, and at -3 to evade. If she
hit, she'd do (13+1=)14 x (10 hexes/2.5=)4 = 56 dice, or 205 points of
damage! Silver takes 103 points of damage herself!

At greater distances and higher velocities, this maneuver becomes
impossible to perform, but if somehow successful, the damage is
astronomical!

For exampl e, Silver and Bugaboo are hovering 5 km (2500 hexes) apart.
Silver decides to fly into him at Mach 5 without hurting herself too
much (Move Thru). Shes at -500 to attack, and at -3 to evade! If,
somehow, she managed to hit, she'd do (13+1=)14 x (2500 hexes/2.5=)1000
= 14,000 dice, or 48,941 points of damage! Silver takes 24,471 points
of damage herself!

Expanded Ki Power Rules Expanded Ki Power Rules
At character creation, the player must define what Ki Powers and
Special Effects the character knows. Each character may learn as many
Ki Powers and/or Special Effects as their Mental characteristic plus
Power skill divided by three, rounded down.

For exampl e, a character like Yamcha with a Mental characteristic of 6
and a Power skill of 10 will know 5 Ki Powers and/or Special Effects.

A character can learn new Ki Powers and Special Effects by raising
their Mental characteristic or Power skill so that the number of Powers
they are allowed to know is increased. Each Special Effect counts as a
separate Power.

For exampl e, Yamcha wants to learn a new ki power, therefore he raises
he raises his Power skill by two with Experience Points so that his
Mental of 10 plus Power skill of 8 equals 18, divided by 3 equals 6.
Yamcha should now know six ki powers instead of five. Green Aura
Fang, an Energy Blast with the Repeating and After Effect Special
Effects, would require 3 of Yamchas 5 allotted powers.

Characters must still make Power skill rolls in order to manifest the
power. A failed Power skill roll results in a failure to manifest the
power and a possible backlash. If the Power skill roll was a 3, then
the character takes damage in dice equal to the amount of Power being
harnessed.
Expanded Ki Powers

Boost Actions
10 Power per Action
This ability increases the number of actions a character can perform
next Phase. Each extra action is taken after each combatant has acted.

For exampl e, if four combatants are fighting, character A has 5
actions, character B has 3 actions, character C has 2 actions, and
character D has 1 action, actions are performed in the following order
this Phase:

As 1

Boost Move
1 Power per +50 Move, 10 Power per 500 Move (1 km, Mach)
Allows the character to move faster than normal. When used in combat,
Boost Move costs per Phase. When used out-of-combat, Boost Move costs 1
Power per 10 minutes of use, or 1 Power per 16.6 km at 100kph. Boost
Move can be used as an Abort Maneuver.

Boost Reaction
10 Power per +1 Initiative
This ability increases the characters Initiative next phase.

Boost Senses
1 Power per +1 to roll or 100 meters (10 Power per 1 km)
Super Senses allow the character to either increase their sensitivity,
noticing things not normally within the ability of their senses, or the
range of their senses, or both.

Boost Size (Boost Strength+Boost Move+Damage Reduction)
10 Power per Level Growth (+1 Physical, +1 Move, +1 Meter reach, +1
damage dice reduced, -1 Defense rolls), up to x2 Physical
The character grows in size and proportion, increasing their strength,
their reach, and their ability to absorb damage. Larger characters are
also easier targets, suffering 1 to Defense rolls for each level of
growth.

Boost Strength
5 Power per +1 Physical, up to x2 Physical
Super Strength increases the characters Physical characteristic for
the purposes of lifting and determining damage. It does not increase
the characters Health or Defense.

Deflection (Force Field)
1 Power per 1 dice energy damage negated
A force field that protects the character from one direction. Once in
place, the field may be "kept up" without expending further actions or
Power. If the character falls unconscious or is hit with a Physical
attack, the Deflection falls and must be re-activated. Any excess
Deflection dice is reflected back at the attacker, up to the original
dice of the attack. Like Energy Blasts, Deflections may also be
gradually built-up a phase at a time. Deflections can be used as an
Abort maneuver.

Deflection Special Effects

Improved Deflection
+1 Difficulty per 10 dice energy damage
negated
Ordinary Deflections deactivate when hit
by a physical attack, but Improved
Deflections will remain activated, though
no physical damage is negated.

Full Protection
+1 Difficulty per 10 dice energy damage
negated
Ordinary Deflections protect from only one
direction. Full Protection Deflections
protect from all directions. When
Deflection is combined with Maka Wara,
Full Protection applies to both Ki Powers
at once.

Energy Blast (Fireball, Laser Vision, Ki Blast)
1 Power per 1 dice damage
A directed blast of pure Ki Energy. Energy Blasts travel at 150 Move.

Energy Blasts can be a single shot fireball, or a steady stream or
energy. If the attack is declared to be a steady stream, the attacker
rolls to hit normally on the first phase, then adds +1 to hit on each
subsequent phase.

Energy Blasts, when used as an Abort maneuver, can be used
defensively to target incoming ranged attacks. If two Energy Blasts
encounter each other the weaker cancels its dice from the stronger,
like a Deflection. Unlike a deflection, if both blasts are steady
streams, both blasts remain active. The center-point of the two blasts
will creep towards the target at a rate equal to the difference in dice
in hexes per phase. So long as the steady stream is maintained, this
will continue until one of the blasts is either discontinued or hits
its target.

Energy Blasts can be built up over several turns, allowing for smaller
Power control rolls each turn. If any one Power Control roll fails, the
Energy Blast goes out of control and does damage to its creator.

Energy Blast Special Effects

After Effect
+1 Difficulty per 5 dice per phase of effect
An Energy Blast with After Effect causes damage even after the
target is hit. The damage and number of phases of effect must be
defined before the attack.

For exampl e, a 200 dice Energy Blast that does 100 dice each
phase for 5 phases after the first would have a DV of
20+(20x5)=120.

Area Effect
+5 Difficulty per Meter Radius
An area affect blast causes an explosion that radiates out from
the target, effecting anyone within the effect radius. All
targets within the effect radius must make defensive rolls to
avoid taking damage.

Bending
+5 Difficulty per bend, up to 90 degrees
This modifier allows the energy blast to make bends up to 90
degrees. In this way, characters may fire over mountains or
around corners.

Delayed
+2 Difficulty per Phase
A Delayed Energy Blast waits a predetermined amount of time
before doing damage.

Deadly Effect
+1 Difficulty for every 10 dice of Deflection and/or Maka Wara
negated
Deadly Effect Energy Blasts negate a predetermined amount of
Deflection and/or Maka Wara dice.

Homing
+1 Difficulty per +1 AV
Increases the accuracy of the Energy Blast.

Immobilizing
+1 Difficulty per +1 Immobilization Strength
The target is immobilized and must make a contested Physical+Body
vs. Immobilization Strength+Attackers Power skill check at the
end of the phase. Success indicates the target breaks free,
failure means the target is held for another phase. The target
cannot attack or defend while immobilized. Other characters may
attack the Immobilization Effect. If the Immobilization Effect
takes its Strength x 10 in damage, it is removed. The
Immobilization Effect takes any damage the held character takes
as well.

Multiple Target
+10 Difficulty per Target
Allows the character to fire an Energy Blast at more than one
target in a single phase.

Flight
1 Power per 50 Move (100 meters), 10 Power per Mach (500 Move, 1 km)
Allows the character to fly in combat. The character must pass Physical
+ Body skill rolls vs. various difficulties depending on obstacles.
When used in combat, Flight must be purchased each phase or the
character will fall. When used out-of-combat, Flight costs 1 Power per
10 minutes of use, or 1 Power per 16.6 km at 100kph. Flight can be
used as an Abort Maneuver.

Illusion (After Image)
10 Power per Image per Phase
Illusion creates a copy of the character.

Illusion Special Effects

Independent Image
+1 Difficulty per Physical or Move per Phase
Independent Image allows the character to create an illusion that
acts with its own Characteristic and appearance and is, for all
intents and purposes, real. However, the illusion can not do any
actual damage. Also, should the illusion take any damage, it will
cease to exist.

Realistic Illusion
+9 Difficulty per Phase
This Power Modifier gives the illusion the ability to attack and
fight, making the opponent believe theyve been injured when they
actually havent. The illusion is, for all intents and purposes,
real, but the opponents take no actual damage. When the opponent
is at zero Health, they must make a contested Mental+Knowledge
skill roll vs. the Illusionists Mental+Power skill. Failure
results in the opponent falling unconscious. Success results in
the opponent breaking the illusion.

Intangibility
2 Power per 1 dice damage negated/1 meter thickness
The ability to pass through solid matter and be unaffected by physical
attacks. A character that is intangible is still vulnerable to energy
attacks. A character becomes intangible at the beginning of the next
Phase.

Invisibility
10 Power per Phase
The character is completely invisible. In combat, Invisibility makes
the character harder to hit. If an opponent cannot make a successful
opposed Mental+Knowledge vs. Combat+Power skill test, then he is at 1/2
(Combat+Skill) in hand-to-hand, and 0 (Combat+Skill) at range vs. the
character. If the opponent succeeds, he is at 1/2 (Combat+Skill) in
both hand-to-hand and ranged combat. If the Invisible character is
making a visible attack, the attackers only takes a -1 to his attack,
even at Range. A character becomes invisible at the beginning of the
next Phase.

Maka Wara (Iron Skin, Invulnerability)
1 Power per 1 dice physical damage negated.
Maka Wara allows the fighter to toughen his body to
withstand incoming physical attacks. Maka Wara
works like a deflection, but it only usable against
physical attacks. Like a deflection, once the Maka
Wara is activated, it remains activated until the
fighter lowers it, it is breached by a superior
attack, an Energy Attack hits it, or the fighter
becomes unconscious. Also like a Deflection, any
Maka Wara dice in excess of the attack is reflected
back at the attacker, up to the original dice of
the attack. Like Deflections, Maka Wara may also be
gradually built-up a phase at a time. Maka Wara can
be used as an Abort maneuver.

Maka Wara Special Effects

Improved Maka Wara
+1 Difficulty per 10 dice physical damage negated
Ordinary Maka Wara deactivates when hit by an energy attack.
Improved Maka Wara remains activated when hit by an energy
attack, but provides no protection from it.

Full Protection
+1 Difficulty per 10 dice physical damage negated
Ordinary Maka Wara protects from only one direction. Full
Protection Maka Wara protects from all directions. When Maka Wara
is combined with Deflection, Full Protection applies to both Ki
Powers at once.

Negate Damage
1 Power per 1 Damage Point Negated
A character can spend Ki to negate damage taken. This requires no
action and is applied to any damage that defeats a deflection, but
before damage is applied to the characters Defense and Hits. Once the
damage is applied, only Regeneration/Healing can restore lost Hits.

Reduce Size
10 Power per Level Reduced (-1 Physical, -1 Move, +1 damage dice
whenever hit, +3 Defense rolls)
Likewise, characters may shrink, gaining +3 to Defense rolls, but
suffering 1 Physical, -1 Move, and taking +1 damage whenever hit.

Regeneration/Healing
1 Power per 1 Hit Restored
Power may be spent to restore lost Hits, up to the characters non-
wounded Hits, in the same way Hits may be traded for extra Power. The
character may also heal others with this ability.

Stretching
1 Power per 1 Meter or +1 Move
Stretching allows a character to perform a hand-to-hand attack at
range. However, the character making the attack may also be attacked at
any point in between. Stretching also allows characters to increase
their strides and thus move more quickly.

Telekinesis
10 Power per Physical, +10 Power per Move
This Power allows the character to remotely manipulate objects as if
they were picking it up. Objects can become projectiles, doing 1 dice
of damage per Physical required to lift it, plus 1 dice per Move.

Telepathy
1 Power per 100 meters (10 Power per 1 km)
The Read Mind Modifier enhances Telepathy by allowing the character to
read others thoughts using opposed Mental+Power rolls. Telepathy also
allows the character to send messages.

Telepathy Special Effects

Mind Control
+1 Difficulty per +1 Mental+Power
Mind Control allows the character to implant commands and control
the actions of a target after a successful opposed Mental+Power
roll. Targets may resist by using their own Mind Control Power to
increase their defensive roll. The extent of the control depends
on the amount by which the controller defeated their opponents
roll.

Mind Control Effect

Effect
>than Opponent Target will perform action he is
inclined to perform anyway.
10 >than Opponent Target will perform actions he
wouldn't mind doing.
20 >than Opponent Target will perform actions he is
normally against doing
30 >than Opponent Target will perform actions he is
violently opposed to doing.

The power lasts 1 phase, but the controller may increase the
number of phases of effect by reducing the difference by which
the controller defeated their opponents roll.

For example, Lady Ninja uses 400 Power of Mind Control on Fanboy.
After successfully passing her Power Control roll, she rolls her
Mental+Power+40 against Fanboys Mental+Power (he has no Mind
Control power to add). Her roll beats Fanboys by 45. Fanboy is
Lady Ninjas Meat Puppet for 1 phase, or she can lower the
difference to 30, allowing her to still control him completely
for 15 phases. Alternatively, she could lower the difference to
10, and Fanboy would perform actions he wouldnt mind doing for
35 Phases.

Teleportation (Flight+Intangibility)
1 Power per 25 Move, 20 Power per 500 Move (1 km), +2 Power per 1 meter
thickness
Teleportation combines Flight and Superspeed with Intangibility to
allow the character to travel near instantaneously relatively unimpeded
by physical terrain or obstacles. A character cannot teleport within
powerful energy fields. The character teleports at the beginning of the
next Phase.

trained. Few people know anything more than that he hails from the
mountains. Since his arrival however, he has made a reputation for
himself as a kind-hearted soul, and is as dependable as the stone from
which he was forged. His powers seem to center around lightning and
the strong properties of rock and stone.
Appearance: A giant of a man, Bizarre is, quite literally, well
chiseled and defined. He wears only white, rugged pants held up by a
wide studded leather belt, and boots. He is entirely bald, and his
skin is smooth but tough as rock, slate gray in color. His sky blue
eyes reflect a charming kindness and serenity.

Conceptual Notes: As he grows in power, Bizarre will change appearance
slightly. As his Power grows, he will grow a small, glowing gem in the
middle of his forehead. As he grows more powerfully physically, he
will become less streamlined and take on a rockier appearance. At
some point, his rocky shell will crack, and will show the man
underneath.
