Self-Discipline[edit]
Your ability to concentrate and focus on the task to be done.
Concentration[edit]
| Ability | Constitution |
|---|---|
| Action | Instantaneous Reaction |
| Armor Penalty | None |
| Untrained | Yes |
| Concentration | No |
Check: You must make a Concentration check whenever you might potentially be distracted (by taking damage, by harsh weather, and so on) while engaged in some action that requires your full attention. See concentration entry for skills description.
If the Concentration check succeeds, you may continue with the action as normal. If the check fails, the action is broken and automatically fails.
The table below summarizes various types of distractions that cause you to make a Concentration check. If more than one type of distraction is present, make a check for each one; any failed Concentration check indicates that the task is not completed.
| Concentration DC | Distraction |
|---|---|
| 10 + damage dealt | Damaged during the action. |
| 10 + half of continuous | Taking continuous damage during the damage last dealt action. |
| 10 | Vigorous motion (on a moving mount, taking a bouncy wagon ride, in a small boat in rough water, below decks in a storm tossed ship). |
| 15 | Violent motion (on a galloping horse, taking a very rough wagon ride, in a small boat in rapids, on the deck of a storm-tossed ship). |
| 20 | Extraordinarily violent motion (earthquake). |
| 15 | Entangled. |
| 20 | Grappling or pinned. |
| 5 | Weather is a high wind carrying blinding rain or sleet. |
| 10 | Weather is wind-driven hail, dust, or debris. |
Total Failure: Same as the skill that ask for concentration.
Try Again: Yes, though a success doesn't cancel the effect of a previous failure, such as the loss of a spell you were casting or the disruption of a spell you were concentrating on.

Description: You can concentrate the energy within you. This allows you to better control your body helping you to use some other skill. You can gain a bonus to a skill that asks for Strength, Dexterity or Constitution by concentrating on your Inner Ki before doing an action.
Check: Make a Ki check against the ranks of the skill you want to improved. If your check is successful, you receive a +2 circumstance bonus to your action.
There are two type of feats for this skill: Focus and trance. Focusing on a feat is a short action and the effect of the feat will last as long as you can keep a light concentration. Trance gets you into a deeper level and asks for total concentration and you most focus for a standard action before receiving the benefits of the feat.
