These only come into effect once a Kai Lord starts learning his Magnakai Disciplines. By choosing specific combinations of Magnakai Disciplines, a Kai Lord is able to increase his martial prowess and stamina. Circle of Fire: If a Kai Lord has learnt the Weaponmastery and Huntmastery Disciplines, then he has completed the Lore-circle of Fire. He gains +1 on all attack rolls and +2 hit points. Circle of Light: The Lore-circle of Light is achieved once the Animal Control and Curing Disciplines have been learned. The Kai Lord then gains +3 hit points. Circle of Solaris: Invisibility, Huntmastery and Pathsmanship are required to complete this Lore-circle. Once achieved, the Kai Lord gains +1 to all attack rolls and +3 hit points. Circle of the Spirit: This is the hardest Lore-circle to achieve. It requires Psi-surge, Psi-screen, Nexus and Divination. Once achieved, the Kai Lord gains +3 on attack rolls and +3 hit pointsThe reason I used Psionic attack and defense modes is, to quote Joe Dever "Mindblast:  this allows a Kai Lord to attack an enemy using the force of his mind".  To me, this is identical to psionics. Many of the other disciplines also ooze of psionic abilities. That is why many of my Disciplines also mimic psionic powers.You know, I never evn thought of using the lay on hands ability for the Healing Discipline.  It certainly makes more sense than cure minor wounds.  Good idea Cloudgatherer!!!The class skills idea you had...  If you look closely you will notice that all the skills that a Kai Lord can gain bonuses in through his or her Disciplines are already class skills for the Kai Lord.I tried to stick closely to the books, but not make the class to powerful.  As was pointed out on the main thread, however, that would be almost impossible.  Us folks over there decided to abandon the D&D game, and instead do it as a d20 class.  I realize that doesn't help if you are trying to incorporate it with standard D&D though.  A suggestion I can think of would be to say that training is so intense that they must forfeit 20% XP whilst advancing as a Kai?  That would certainly make people think twice before taking the class.Also, your alignment rquirements;  why just good?  Can you really see the Kai Order allowing a chaotic person in with all the training that is involved?  I'd say Lawful or Neutral good, but that's just my suggestion <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
