The Kiwami Heat wielder

How does one obtain Heat? some say it's the fighting experience that fighters get, some others say it's the trauma in someone's life making them obtain it from hidden potential awakening their powers, or it might be the willpower of someone's commitment to exceeding anything they want to achieve.

Welcome to the Kiwami Heat class

Heat being used in action

Creating Kiwami Heat

Were you adopted by a clan member due to their guilt about killing your parents? Did you have nothing going for you to the point of joining a criminal organization? Or maybe you simply trained to fight for the ability to protect your loved ones? Were you taken in by a soapland owner as an infant? Were you raised by a single parent alongside a stepsibling, and having that parent figure pass away led to you being adopted by your close relatives, making you feel like they are a burden on you leading to you running away and being forced to fend for yourself?

Investing in Yourself

How does one invest in themselves? Simple, by using Heat and pp, gp, ep, sp, and cp turning the pieces into Heat infused Tokens, before you enter a long rest you may instead go into a meditative state fusing any coin listed below into a Heat Token. A Heat Token has no value in buying goods but instead in using it to become stronger.

Gold Piece (gp)	10 GP + 2 Heat Points	1 Heat token
Platinum Piece (pp)	1 PP + 1 Heat Points	1 Heat token

Design Note: All upgrades are listed as totals and do not stack with previous upgrades.

Almost everything can be upgraded, almost all the first upgrades cost 1 Heat Token, for example on the first upgrades, 1 Heat Token = +1 to attack. the cost for the next upgrade will multiply by 10 of the costing price for the Heat Token, for example, the next upgrade, 10 Heat Tokens = +2 to attack, and so on (some upgrades ignore the price increase), the maximum on certain upgrades and what can be upgraded are listed in the table below

Heated Spirit Archetypes

The following are archetypes found within the series themselves, most features are from the series some are spin-offs.

Heat Spirit: Dragon Fists

Prerequisites: Kiwami Heat feature. The Dragon of Heat has touched your spirit and is slowly beginning to fuse with you.

Dragon Charge

At 3rd level, when taking the attack action, for 1 Heat point, you may deal an extra die of damage for that attack roll once per turn. At 7th level, you are able to use this feature twice per turn for the second attack, but it would cost you 2 Heat points instead of one. And again at 12th level, costing 3 Heat points for the third attack roll instead of 2.

The Dragon's Spite

At 5th level, when entering battle, you deal extra damage die equal to the lower tier of your main classes hit die (i.e. if your main class is Kiwami Heat then you would deal an extra d6 per attack roll), until you get hit, and you may spend 1 Heat point to deal an extra 1d4 to your damage once per attack.

The Dragon's Might

At 9th level, while in Kiwami Heat, when you take the attack action you may expand 2 Heat points to make your unarmed strikes gain the ability to hit more than one creature. Creatures within 5ft of your target take half your initial attack's damage rounded down in Force damage.

Let The Tiger Come Down

At 11th level, whenever a melee attack is rolled against you, as a reaction, for 3 Heat points. You may strike back the attacking creature with a Heat infused unarmed strike ignoring any source of resistance, on a hit, the creature takes the damage from the attack, and extra damage equal to your hit die, the creature must also attempt a saving throw against your Heat save DC, or get pushed back 10-feet from you, and if the creature gets pushed into a wall/another creature, or a leveled curvature, then they would also get knocked prone. The extra damage does expend a hit die.

A Vengeful Dragon

At 14th level, when your hit points fall below half, your unarmed strike damage die increases by an extra die (i.e. 1d4 = 2d4), when your hit points fall below 25%, your unarmed strike damage die increases by another die (i.e. 2d4 = 3d4). At 17th level, when you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead while also increasing your damage die by another die (i.e. 3d4 = 4d4). You can’t drop to 1 hit point using this feature again until you finish a long rest. If you do have another feature that drops you to 1 hit point instead, you are unable to stack it with this feature but you do gain the benefits of when dropping to 1 hit point.

The extra damage does expend a hit die.
