<strong>Mindblast</strong><br/>The Discipline of Mindblast allows the Kai Lord to attack his<br/>enemies with his sheer will, even as he attacks with a more<br/>mundane weapon. For the Kai, combat takes place on two<br/>distinct levels, the physical and mental, with one taking no<br/>precedence over the other. Mindblast is the embodiment of<br/>this belief and, for enemies who have no mental defences, it<br/>can prove devastating.<br/><br/><em>Tier I: Distraction</em><br/>By subtly altering the perceptions of an enemy, the Kai<br/>Lord can slow his foe’s reactions ever so slightly and create<br/>openings which he can exploit. This takes a move action to<br/>accomplish and grants the Kai Lord a +1 bonus to any attack<br/>rolls made against one designated enemy. A new enemy may<br/>be designated at the start of every round of combat.<br/><br/><em>Tier II: Force of Personality</em><br/>As a move action, the character may bind his will to his<br/>weapon. The Kai Lord learns to control his mental energies,<br/>unleashing them at the precise moment he strikes an enemy,<br/>causing crippling wounds. When the Kai Lord injures<br/>an opponent in melee combat, he automatically adds his<br/>Charisma modifier (minimum of +1) as psychic damage to the<br/>damage inflicted. This effect only lasts for one round. This<br/>power may be used in conjunction with other psychic attacks,<br/>such as Attack or Stun.<br/>This Tier of Mindblast also allows the Kai Lord to use the<br/>Attack action in Psychic Combat.<br/><br/><em>Tier III: Psychic Lash</em><br/>The power of the Kai Lord’s mind is a physical thing to<br/>any enemy he fights. In melee combat, the Kai Lord may<br/>designate one enemy in sight at the beginning of his turn.<br/>He will automatically cause 1d6 points of psychic damage<br/>to this enemy every round, as it is overwhelmed by a barrage<br/>of mental lashes. The creature also suffers a –1 penalty to its<br/>attack rolls whilst suffering from a Psychic Lash. Such an<br/>effort costs the Kai Lord his effectiveness as a warrior while<br/>he splits his concentration, however, suffering a –1 penalty to<br/>attack rolls, damage rolls and Armour Class during any round<br/>in which he employs this use of Mindblast. This power may<br/>be used in conjunction with other psychic attacks, such as<br/>Attack or Stun.<br/><br/><em>Tier IV: Dagger of the Mind (1 Endurance)</em><br/>As a standard action, the Kai Lord may select one enemy<br/>within 30 feet as the focus for the full force of his mental<br/>powers. He deals 1d6 points of psychic damage for every<br/>four character levels (rounded down). This power may be used<br/>in conjunction with other psychic attacks, such as Attack or<br/>Stun.<br/>This Tier of Mindblast also allows the Kai Lord to use the<br/>Stun action in Psychic Combat.<br/><br/><em>Tier V: Spiritshriek (2 Endurance)</em><br/>With a piercing psychic roar, the Kai Lord may expend<br/>his entire mental reserve in one dreadful blast. Every<br/>character, animal and monster within 30 feet, friend or foe,<br/>will automatically suffer 1d6 points of psychic damage for<br/>every three character levels the Kai Lord possesses (rounded<br/>down). Any creatures that survive this attack will be stunned<br/>for the entire round and may not take any action (but are not<br/>considered helpless). Though powerful, this attack is very<br/>draining to the Kai Lord. He will be unable to use any of his<br/>Mind- or Psi-Disciplines for one minute following the use of<br/>this power.
