Re: Chi Power Limitation: Rituals = Missed Sleep?
That can provide dramatic tension. Do you forgo the rituals in the name of speed? The universe may well depend you getting there in the nick of time!

Re: Chi Power Limitation: Rituals = Missed Sleep?
I believe your better solution for this is use your good ol hand-wave here:
The chores/meditation/whatever are there for lore, fluff and balance for having to spend time doing that and all. I believe you should make it as inconvenient as it suits your setting. Do you use a heavy setting on different religions and sects and it's heavily emphasized by your beliefs, doings and such? Is it just another option between a myriad of others, like magic, psionics, powers and so much hassle would hinder it more than sparkle it apart? There's a breaking point between "Awesome... I see the carriage is somewhat small, but enough for me to do my stretchings and prayers, focusing my mind and strenghtning my body once again! Please, don't interrupt me unless we're attacked!" and "Godammit Bob, we gotta stop in the middle of the goddamn swamp of doom and gloom to wait you do your goddamn babblings...again!? And all that just to kick stuff harder!! Really, c'mon now...why didn't you make a normal fighter with a sword and board or something...sigh" Finding the middle ground, whatever it is for your game, should be best |

Re: Chi Power Limitation: Rituals = Missed Sleep?
Yep. I have a medical disability so I must get up three times per night, and I sleep in three-hour shifts. I have a clock set to beep, but most of the time I wake up just before the clock rings. Or the cat wakes me, because he's convinced I'm getting up to get him food. Food is very important to him.
