			Chi abilities are what set heroes apart from the common people. Such talented individuals have cultivated their ''qi'' through hard work, discipline and sacrifice so enhance their abilities.

			Each chi power set is a separate skill that is gained and raised like any other. Once a character has a non-zero rating they gain the Basic Ability of that power set and may choose one of the abilities listed in its section. The Basic Ability is always active while the other abilities require the expenditure of Qi points. Unless otherwise noted an ability requires the character to expend 1 Qi and remains in effect for 1 round per 5 points in the relevant skill.
