Explanation: Return to top	Key Flow is an ability that nearly every Vekkarian Monk will unlock during his or her journey within this class. This is the ninth chance to unlock Key Flow. If you are not successful, you must wait until you reach a stage in your journey when Key Flow is, again, offered to you. If you succeed here, when Key Flow is again offered to you, you will have a chance to gain another Key Flow power. Note to the G.M.: To succeed, you will offer you a test to the player. This can be anything you can think of, so be creative, and keep it on the lines of the marial arts, and all it encompasses. You must rule out the law of chance as much as possible. In other words, DO NOT have the player roll a D6, and state, "If you can roll a 1, 3, or 5, you will succeed. If successful, roll on the following chart to see what Key Flow the Vekkarian Monk will gain: %Roll: Key Flow power gained:Return to top 01-04: Six Sense: An avoidance-roll vs. "Awareness" at 50% chance (rounded down), will indicate something is amiss, thus thwarting unseen events. 05-08: Damage Augmentation: Your body-weapon strikes will now cause an additional +1-D12 damage (+1-D12 per 5 levels advanced). 09-12: Weapon Augmentation: In your hands, martial weapons will cause +1-D12 damage (+1-D12 per 5 levels advanced) with those martial weapons listed in all "Weapon Mastery" charts (if you have not reached a certain level to have a mastery with a specific weapon, you will not get this bonus for it (unless you get it later when Key Flow is once again offered). 13-16: Focused Defense: +5 Initiative permanently granted. 17-20: Focused Energy: -1 ability-point expended when using a Vekkarian Monk ability which requires more than 1 point to invoke.Return to top 21-24: Iron Skin: Physical Damage-Reduction: +1. 25-28: Magma Skin: Fire Damage-Reduction: +1. 29-32: Arctic Breath: Cold Damage-Reduction: +1. 33-36: Mongoose: +5 Offense permanently granted. 37-40: Key Shield: +5 Defense permanently granted. 41-44: Battle Knowledge: A successful avoidance-roll vs. "Awareness" will let you know that you are about to engage a foe that can kill you more easily than most.
