Ki levels

[Sage]

Here's a basic example.

Starting PL: 990,000. Pretty tough, actually. Pretty seriously tough.

Rad's PL: Oh, who gives a fuck. I'm putting 4,000,000. I know it's wrong, but who cares. So Rad's got a PL of four million. So why does it jump into the hundred millions? Simple.

Rad has SSJ2. SSJ2 has a multiplier of x40. Which means it takes his base ki (4 mil) and multiplies it by 40.

4,000,000 x 40 = 160,000,000

So you can see, so long as Rad doesn't go SSJ or SSJ2, he's only got four million to go on. Going SSJ2 puts him at 160 million.

On the flipside, let's say he only had 990,000 for ki, but somehow had SSJ2 already.

990,000 x 40 = 39,600,000

You'll notice, holy crap, he's waaaaaaaaaay weaker! Still an SSJ2, but even I could put him down at that point, and I only have SSJ, not SSJ2.

Power-ups are simply multipliers, based on a purely mathematical formula.
