Armor Piercer Chi Thrust (3.5e Martial Artist Maneuver)
Armor Piercer Chi Thrust
It's not the weapon you kill with. It's the great burst of inner power that comes with it.
Level: Tempered 3
Type: Action (Attack)
Prerequisite: 2 Tempered Flow maneuvers
Description: As part of this maneuver, you make a melee touch attack either unharmed or with a weapon, releasing a surge of concussive ch'i against your target. If you hit, you deal an extra +2d6 points of damage, and all the damage dealt is force damage. Furthermore, if the opponent takes damage from the Chi Thrust, he must make a Fortitude save against a DC of 10 + half your initiator level + your Intelligence modifier, or be stunned for 1 round.
This maneuver is equally effective against creatures with no discernible anatomy, as it damages what you wish to damage and completely bypasses things like armor or carapace. The Chi Thrust is however ineffective against incorporeal creatures and any oter creatures without a sufficiently solid form (such as things like water, fire or air elementals, or creatures in gaseous form).
