Statistics: Super Jump 1 (Chi -10%)[9] plus Super Jump 1 (Costs 1 FP, -5%; Chi -10%) [9]

Well, thaty's very like Psionic Powers but it's also an example of why I am not fond of Psionic Powers as a whole. Mostly because it adds complexity to something that could be very simple. Most wuxia/anime leapers are little different from Supers and I'd just give them raw Super Jump.

It can also add ambiguity. I find I have to read the parenthetical notations to see how the power is actually suupposed to work. Incidentally, I think you may have used the 1/minute version of Costs FP when you intended the 1/use version. That might be -10% instead of -5%.
