Tao of the Phoenix
Legendary Qi Form [Tao]
Prerequisites: Qi Rank 8
Disciplines: Yang
No Action
Effect: You may use the following modifiers with your Qi Strike:
Rising [Opener]
Keywords: Metaphysical.
Cost: REC +2, 1 Stamina
Effect: Before the attack, you launch upward in a blazing arc. Jump vertically up to 100ft to a location adjacent to your target. This movement does not provoke. If the attack hits and the target is flying or hovering, it immediately falls, taking normal falling damage. After the attack, if you are still airborne, you descend safely to the ground without harm.
Ashen [Transformation]
Keywords: Metaphysical, Annihilation.
Action Change: This power becomes a Focus Action with FT 3. If it is already a Focus Action, increase the FT by 3
Cost: 1 Stamina and 1 Stamina Burn
Effect: Your strike brands the target with lingering spiritual fire. On a hit, the target takes [Qi Rank × 5] Annihilation damage every 10 segments [SE, ST 6d10 vs CON]. Aftereffect: the target takes [Qi Rank × 3] Annihilation damage every 10 segments [SE, ST 6d10 vs WIS].
Phoenix [Heart]
Action Change: This power becomes a Focus Action with FT 1. If it is already a Focus Action, increase the FT by 1
Cost: REC +3, 1 Stamina and 2 Stamina Burn
Effect: With a cry of burning defiance, you unleash your waning life force. Increase the damage by 1 WD for every Healing Value worth of hitpoints you are currently missing (max 5 WD when Disabled). After all effects of this power resolve, if you hit your target, you dissolve into ash and are removed from the battlefield. When you recover from this power, you reappear in a burst of flame in your previous location (or the nearest unoccupied area) and recover 3 Healing Values of damage. You are then delayed 1d4 segments.
Chop [Finisher]
Cost: REC +2, 2 Stamina
Effect: Embodying the fiery spirit, your hand descends like the phoenix's wing to sever sound itself. Increase your Critical Chance on the attack by 50%. If you score a critical hit against the target, it is also Muted [SE, ST 6d10 vs CON].
