Class Features[edit]
All of the following are class features of the Rokushiki Master. The abilities of a Rokushiki Master function off the use of a Ki Pool.
Extra Ki (Su): For each level you possess in Rokushiki master you gain an extra 2 points to your Ki Pool, Maximum of 10 points at level 5.
Enhanced Rokushiki: At levels 1, 2, 3 & 4 you may select a single Enhanced Rokushiki ability. You may not select the same ability twice or more than 1 enchancement for a single Rokushiki. The user may decide to use there normal Rokushiki instead of the selected enhancement.
- Oren Shigan (Ex):As a full round action and spending 2 Ki points, the Rokushiki Master can roll a 1d6+1 and perform that number of Shigan attacks on a single target within melee range. If at least 3 attacks land on the target, they take an extra 5 points of bleed damage.
- Bachi Shigan (Su):As a standard action and spending 2 Ki points, the Rokushiki Master can make a single Shigan as a ranged attack of 20 ft. + 5 ft/level, This attack deals 1d6+str mod sonic damage and 1 point of bleed damage.
- Kami-e Bushin (Ex):The Rokushiki Master can now attack and move while in their Kami-E stance but doing this will cut the bonus AC in half, rounded up. Additionally, it increases their land movement speed by 10 while in the stance.
- Rodan Rankyaku (Su):The Rodan greatly increases the effectiveness of the rankyaku. Boost the damage of your rankyaku attacks by 1d6, range by 20 feet, and the width of the projectiles by 5ft but increases the cost by 1 Ki point. Your rankyaku blades are now strong enough to slice through steel.
- Tekkai Kenpo (Su):The Rokushiki Master can now attack and move while in their Tekkai stance but doing this will cut the bonus DR in half, rounded up. In addition when using Tekkai Kenpo however your movement speed is cut in half but you do not lose your Dex/Dodge bonus to AC.
- Tekkai Boost (Su):The Rokushiki Master has increased the defense granted by there Tekkai. When using Tekkai boost the DR becomes DR/-, you gain +5 to the DR gained by Tekkai. To enter Tekkai Boost you must spend a Full round action, or a Standard action if you are already in Tekkai.
- Sky Walk (Su):When using Geppo you may now move up to your move speed (max 50ft), If you do not reach a Solid surface at the end of your turn you Still fall but are now under the effect of Air Walks slow fall effect.
- Kamisori (Su):Instead of using Soru as a defensive measure, you may use this technique to use it offensively. When you use Soru offensively you may as a full round action "Zigzag" between enemies within your movement speed preforming a single unarmed attack up to your maximum number of attacks by bab, or Flurry of Blows if applicable, against them.
Rokuogan (Su): The user places both his/her fists right in front of the target and launches a devastating shock wave which causes massive internal injuries. To perform this technique requires spending 5 Ki points, a full round action and the target must be within melee range. It deals 10d8 sonic damage and the target is paralyzed for one round. The target can attempt a fortitude save vs a DC of (17 + Str mod + the Rokushiki master’s character level) to take half damage and avoid the paralyzing effect. After performing this technique, the user cannot attack on their next turn. They can perform movement and non-attack actions normally.
