Chi (FiD)

Starfox's Blades in the Dark fan page

Chi embodies the inner power of living creatures, which can be channeled through disciplined practice. It focuses on self-improvement, immediate surroundings, and the manipulation of inner energy.

Trauma Condition - Inner Peace To utilize chi effectively, one must maintain inner peace and freedom of movement. Powers that affect only the user or creatures touched gain improved position, while those used at a distance suffer a loss of outcome due to the practitioner's inability to fully channel their energy.
