*Boosting Ki Blasts: The damage a ki blast deals rises by 50%. As the spell power rises (see below), the amount rises by 50% each time.
+
*Boosting Ki Blasts: The damage a ki blast deals rises by 50%. For every two spell slots higher you cast this in, you gain an additional +50% damage for the duration (to a maximum of +150% as an 8th level spell).  The duration of this is 1 round, or until your next attack.
  
*Improve an attack: The critical multiplier for your next attack is one better. In addition, you get +4 to your roll to confirm a critical hit. As the spell power rises (see below), the critical multiplier improves.
+
*Expand Ki Blasts: You benefit from [[Expand Spell (3.5e Feat)|Expand Spell]]. For every additional spell slot higher you cast this in, you stack another Expand Spell to increase the area. The duration of this is 1 round, or until your next attack.
  
*Improve one's speed: For one round your speed doubles, and you may make a full attack after a move action. This does not apply if you have made two move actions. As the spell power rises (see below), the movement rate is increased to triple, quadruple, and so on.
+
*Improve an attack: You gain your caster level to your next attack.  For every spell slot higher you cast this in, you gain your caster level to your next attack again (to a maximum of 5 damage per caster level at 9th). This extra damage bypasses resistances, immunities, and DR except for DR/-, but is not multiplied on a critical hit. The duration of this is 1 round, or until your next attack.
  
In all three cases the benefit can be greater as your caster level increases. Every four levels after 8th Kiaoken improves by one step—at 12th level, 16th, and the maximum at 20th level or higher (which grants you 300% damage, x4 critical increase, or x4 speed.)
+
*Improve one's speed: For one round your speed doubles, and you gain the Pounce ability. Your movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity, and you ignore difficult terrain from non-magical sources.  For every spell slot higher you cast this in, your speed multiplies further (x3, x4, x5) to a maximum of x7 at 9th.  The duration of this is 1 round, or until your next attack.
 
 
In addition you take 1d2 points of Constitution damage from the strain of pushing yourself each time.
 
  
 +
You take 1d2 points of Constitution damage from the strain of pushing yourself each time.  If you cast it from a higher level spell slot the damage die increases by one step (1d3, 1d4, 1d6, etc) to a maximum of 2d6 at 9th.  If you cannot take Constitution damage, you cannot benefit from this spell.

His body exploded into a red aura and suddenly he seemed a lot stronger than before.

The Kaioken technique is a powerful spell altering tool. There are three versions which it is capable of.

  • Boosting Ki Blasts: The damage a ki blast deals rises by 50%. For every two spell slots higher you cast this in, you gain an additional +50% damage for the duration (to a maximum of +150% as an 8th level spell). The duration of this is 1 round, or until your next attack.
  • Expand Ki Blasts: You benefit from Expand Spell. For every additional spell slot higher you cast this in, you stack another Expand Spell to increase the area. The duration of this is 1 round, or until your next attack.
  • Improve an attack: You gain your caster level to your next attack. For every spell slot higher you cast this in, you gain your caster level to your next attack again (to a maximum of 5 damage per caster level at 9th). This extra damage bypasses resistances, immunities, and DR except for DR/-, but is not multiplied on a critical hit. The duration of this is 1 round, or until your next attack.
  • Improve one's speed: For one round your speed doubles, and you gain the Pounce ability. Your movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity, and you ignore difficult terrain from non-magical sources. For every spell slot higher you cast this in, your speed multiplies further (x3, x4, x5) to a maximum of x7 at 9th. The duration of this is 1 round, or until your next attack.

You take 1d2 points of Constitution damage from the strain of pushing yourself each time. If you cast it from a higher level spell slot the damage die increases by one step (1d3, 1d4, 1d6, etc) to a maximum of 2d6 at 9th. If you cannot take Constitution damage, you cannot benefit from this spell.
