Empathy - Rarely, two warriors who become particularly close, in their demeanor, outlook, fighting style, and ideals, can become connected in a way that has been termed "Empathy". While this connection has varying levels of effects, two warriors connected in such a way exhibit an amazing amount of synchronization in their fighting styles. In fact, if two warriors are Empathetic enough, they can set each other up for attacks with little or no communication expressed between them. Further, merely fighting alongside each other is a boost to their personal power, sometimes as much as 10% of their total power. There are drawbacks to such a connection, however. As the Ki of one is drained, the Ki of the other becomes more slippery, and difficult to put into an attack. If one is killed, the other may be seriously injured, or (in extreme connections), even killed themselves. Such connections take large amounts of time to create, and are extremely rare (still no one knows how they are created). Even so, they can be severed, though it is a difficult and painful process.
(Obviously, this is a weird sort of Tech. I'm not sure entirely how it would work, but I would suggest two people would need to train for it. Very likely, there would be tiers, or some sort of percentage system. For an example of something like this, thing Kreia and the Exile in KOTOR 2)
