Public High School #8011 Qi Information/Rules....[/i][/b]
1) All Qi's will be sticking to a format in which they are limited to the body of the user. Quite simply, there will be no ranged Qi's. This is due to the fact that it is firmly believed amongst all staff and players alike, that Qi is something that is created from the body's own inner energy. (As is the real definition of it.) Therefore, that energy is limited to the user's body. That does not mean, however, that the person may not find other ways of attacking from a distance with their Qi, just means they will have to be creative.
Example: A person may have the ability to manipulate fire, but it will be restricted to their own body. They will not be able to throw fire balls, or set something on fire without touching it. Now this is not to say they cannot light something on fire and then throw said object, just that they cannot throw a ball of fire that consists of nothing BUT fire.
2) No mentally invasive Qi's. (At least right now.) This simply means that a person cannot have a Qi in which they are capable of invading another person's mind or manipulating their thoughts or emotions.
3) All Qi's will need to be PM'd to the Admin for approval. She will in turn discuss the suggested Qi over with staff and PM you back the final draft, or let you know if the Qi won't work at all.
4) There will be absolutely no stat gains from Qi. On this board, they are to be used mostly for plot purposes. Yes, they can be used in fights, but there will be a limit to the number of posts that you are able to use them for, and there will be stat costs to activate them. (Most likely -5 CHA since that seems to be the most logical choice.)
5) There will be no leveling up with Qi's. Meaning, no “Beginner” to “Master” levels. What you get is what you get. Now, if you have a Qi that's strength is based upon so much percentage of your stats, such as a Kinetic Energy Qi, then the strength of its hits will increase as your stats do. But for those that have Qi's such as Fire Qi's or Electrical Qi's...They are about as strong as they are going to get due to the intense nature of their effects. (If you have any questions about this rule, please PM a staff member.)
6) If you are unable to think of a Qi, you can always PM a staff member and ask them to create one for you. However, should you choose this option, you are agreeing to go with whatever they choose for you. No arguing.
7) Not everyone HAS to have a Qi, though if you engage in a fight with somebody you are accepting the fact that you might be attacked with one. However, should all players of the thread agree beforehand to go without Qi's and note it within the thread itself in OOC brackets, then that is fine as well. Basically, you may go Qi-less at your own risk.
8) All Qi's will have side effects. I am a firm believer that the body cannot exert that kind of internal energy and not have some form of side effects to go along with it after it has been used. These are side effects that you may suggest yourself during your first draft which you will PM to the Admin or you can simply leave it blank and allow the staff to come up with them, which will be included in the PM you receive with your final draft.
9) Should you choose to use your Qi for plot purposes only, and not for a fight, then you are not subject to the limited post counts nor the subtraction of stats for activation or whatever. However, should you be in a fight and caught not obeying the rules, then you will be punished accordingly.
10) All Qi's must be gained through IC means. Which, pretty much all that entails is sending a PM to one of the staff members and requesting a thread in which your character can receive the Chemical F-325. This is just to keep things in tune with the story line of the board and to keep things flowing smoothly.
**NOTE** Keep in mind that this is a new system in which we are trying to work out all the kinks in still. We want to give you guys the chance to expand your RP and take things to a more fantasy type level, but at the same time we want to ensure that things do not get OP or out of hand. Things are likely to change as time goes on and we devise just how this entire thing is going to work. If you have any suggestions pertaining to this, please post them in the Help & Suggestions section of the board or PM them to a staff member. The same goes for any questions about the above listed rules.
