==== Master Forms ====

'''{{Anchor|Quivering Palm}} — Active Ongoing'''
: Any
: [6]
: Range: Attack
: Target: One creature
: Action: Attack
The Ki Maestro empowers their body for a dazing blow.

They make an unarmed, natural, or feral strike. When this form ends, if the attack hit, the creature must make a Fortitude save or die (this is a [Death] effect).
: Flourishes:
* [2+] Quivering Whirlwind: The maestro may attack a number of creatures equal to the number of pips on this die instead.

'''{{Anchor|Alternating Strike}} — Active'''
: Any
: [3-]
: Range: Attack
: Target: See text
: Action: Non-action
The Ki Maestro masters the art of alternating between combat maneuvers and damaging blows.

When they hit with a melee attack, they may use Alternating Strike to get a free trip, disarm, or grapple attempt against the target.

When they successfully trip, disarm, grapple, bull rush, or overrun a creature, they may use Alternating Strike to make a free melee attack, or throwing attack with the weapon they just disarmed, if they're holding it.

Any attack or combat maneuver done as part of Alternating Strike gets a bonus to attack and checks equal to the number of pips on the die.

'''{{Anchor|Steeled in Soul}} — Active Ongoing'''
: Any
: [3+]
: Range: Self
: Target: Personal
: Action: Immediate
The Ki Maestro steels their soul and the damage simply washes over them.

The maestro chooses a damage type as they activate this form, and becomes immune to that damage type for as long as this form is sustained.

: Flourishes:
* [Any] Greater Protection: The Ki Maestro also becomes immune to [Death] effects, [Fear] effects, poison, disease, sickening, and nausea while the form is sustained.

'''{{Anchor|Mobile Stance}} — Passive Ongoing'''
: Any
: [Any]
: Range: Self
: Target: Personal
The Ki Maestro enters a loose and free-moving stance, where they have to keep moving.

After each attack the Ki Maestro makes, they get 5' of free movement with one of their speeds per pip on the first die. If they don't use the full movement, this form ends.

: Flourishes:
* [Same as the first die] Warp Stance: Instead of movement, the Ki Maestro gets to teleport that distance instead. This does not provoke attacks of opportunity, but if the maestro tries to teleport into an occupied space, the teleportation fails and the form ends.

'''{{Anchor|Acupuncher}} — Active'''
: Any
: [Any]
: Range: Touch
: Target: One creature
: Action: Standard
The Ki Maestro does a quick series of swift punches at the target's chakra loci to clear out harmful energies.

The target is cured of different status effects depending on the number of pips on the die. If using a die that counts its pips differently once placed, such as an Ultra die in this slot, the maestro may choose to use the actual number of pips instead.

1: Blinded, deafened, fascinated, dazzled

2: Shaken, frightened, panicked, cowering

3: Sickened, nauseated, fatigued, exhausted

4: Dazed, stunned, paralyzed

5: Asleep, confused

6: Ability damaged, ability drained, negative levels

7+: Unconscious, petrified, disabled, dead for fewer than 2 rounds (the creature is restored to 1 HP as well)

'''{{Anchor|At One}} — Active Ongoing'''
: Any
: [Any]
: Range: Personal
: Target: Self
: Action: Standard
The Ki Maestro learns to sense the energy in all things.

They gain 10' of blindsight for every pip on the first die. In addition, they can sense every creature's general intentions and emotional state within that range, even without line of effect, unless the creature carefully thinks misleading or inanimate thoughts with a successful bluff check opposed by the maestro's sense motive.

: Flourishes:
* [4+] Ping: When this form stops being sustained, the Ki Maestro pinpoints the location of all creatures with an intelligence score within the area, and knows their intelligence scores.

'''{{Anchor|Ki Bolts}} — Active'''
: Any
: [Odd] [Even]
: Range: Medium
: Target: See text
: Action: Full-round
The Ki Maestro lets loose a flurry of quick attacks, that extend from their limbs as ki bolts to strike distant foes.

They make a number of melee attacks equal to the number of pips on the first die, except that the attacks have a reach of 10' per pip on the second die, and deal force damage instead of their normal types.

: Flourishes:
* [1] Quick Bolts: Ki Bolts may be used as a standard action.
