Introduction

When facing dangers that would normally overcome normal opponents, some Saiyans have the ability to instantly increase their power dramaticly. It is unknown how the Saiyans developed this unusual natural ability or if there is ever a limit to how powerful a Saiyan can become, but so far twelve different variations have been discovered.

Many Saiyans live and die without ever achieving even the lowest of the Super Saiyan levels, but many would kill to have it. According to Saiyan records, it is beleived that a special bloodline carries the ability to change into a Super Saiyan, but that bloodline was dispersed many centuries ago. Freiza's best scientists theorized that the Super Saiyan bloodline was just the result of a random mutation, and if that is true, then other similar mutations could still occur.

A Super Saiyan does not need to spend ISP to maintain his Super Saiyan form, but it is very taxing on the body. For every minute a Saiyan remains in any of these Super Saiyan forms, his current and maximum amount of Hit Points is reduced by 2%, which decreases their M.D.C. accordingly. After 50 minutes the Saiyan's Hit Points is reduced to 0 and he falls unconscious and will revert to his normal, non-energized form. When Saiyans revert from being a Super Saiyan, their current and maximum amount of Hit Points is increased by 1% every 5 minutes until it reaches its original level. Eating a Senzu Bean will instantly restore a Saiyan’s maximum HP value even if eaten while in a Super Saiyan form.

A Saiyan can progress through the Super Saiyan forms using many different paths. Although all Saiyans must go through the Super Saiyan form, some go directly to the Super Saiyan Level 2 form without touching the Super Saiyan 2^nd Grade, Super Saiyan 3^rd Grade, or Super Saiyan Full Power forms. Each time a Saiyan reaches a new level of experience, the GM should secretly roll a 1D20 for each Super Saiyan form that the character can achieve and add the Saiyan's character level to the result. If that result is high enough to meet the conditions of that form, then the Saiyan can transform into that form with the proper motivating factors. However if that roll is lower then the required number, then their is no chance that the Saiyan can transform into that Super Saiyan form until they gain another level of experience.

The Super Saiyan Transformation is incredibly powerful, especially the third, forth, and fifth levels. GMs should be very careful about allowing a Saiyan character to be able to achieve this incredible level of power and they must be careful when determining if the Saiyan has a strong enough desire to transform. Do not allow the player to simply say their character REALLY wants to and give them the ability to transform. The ability to change into a Super Saiyan (especially the higher levels) allows the Saiyan race to be used for high-powered campaigns and for cosmic level campaigns where they are strong enough to fight Dragons and Godlings without help.

Oozaru Transformation

Described fully under the Saiyan RCC description. It is important to note that even in any of the Super Saiyan forms described below, a Saiyan with a tail will transform into an Oozaru under the described conditions. The Saiyan loses all bonuses, abilities, and penalties provided by the Super Saiyan form and he uses only his base stats. Even if the Oozaru form is less powerful than the form that the Saiyan was currently in, the Saiyan will still transform.

False Super Saiyan Transformation

Many Saiyans that are incapable of achieving the real level of Super Saiyan power have been able to achieve what is called the level of False Super Saiyan. This level gives the Saiyan a great boost in power, but it wears out the Saiyan’s body at an incredible rate. It has been determined that only those who are incapable of becoming Super Saiyans can become a False Super Saiyan. After a Saiyan has reached 5^th level, there is a chance that they can transform into a False Super Saiyan. To determine whether the Saiyan can become a False Super Saiyan, roll the percentile dice. If the Saiyan is the child of a Super Saiyan, or knows that they are a descendent of a Super Saiyan, then this roll is unnecessary, it is automatically failed. If the result is 10 or less, then the Saiyan secretly comes from a Super Saiyan bloodline and has no chance of transforming into a False Super Saiyan. If the result was 11 or higher, then the possibility exists and for every level, starting at level 5, the character rolls 1D20 and adds their character level to the result. If the result is 18 or greater then it is possible for the Saiyan to go False Super Saiyan with the proper motivating factors.

To become a False Super Saiyan for the first time, the Saiyan must have a strong desire; this desire usually comes in the form of anger, but can come from any other source the GM decides is valid. This can occur with the death of a friend or the frustration to defeat an unstoppable enemy, or it can be artificially created through the psychic power of Bio-Manipulation or similar powers and spells. Once the level of desire is sufficient (GM's decision), the Saiyan will become a False Super Saiyan, but there is no change in the Saiyan’s appearance other then their hair will stand straight up while they are in this form. The physical transformation is instantaneous and the results take effect immediately. However, once a Saiyan has transformed the first time, he can transform again at will, but must be fully “energized” and then spend an additional melee action to go through the final transformation to become a False Super Saiyan.

• Special Abilities: All Ki Manipulation Techniques, except Power Increasing Techniques, are used as if the Saiyan was +1 level higher.
• Bonuses: +5 to PS, PP, and PE, +10 to Spd, +1D4x10 ISP, and increases the Saiyan’s base S.D.C. and Hit Points by 50% (M.D.C. is determined by adding the S.D.C. and Hit Points together, dividing by 2, and then adding the energized M.D.C. bonus). Also, the Saiyan has a bonus of +1 to all combat rolls, +1 attack per melee, and has a base Natural and M.D.C. Armor Rating of 2 (before bonuses from energizing). Bonuses are determined once and are the same whenever the Saiyan transforms. These bonuses are cumulative with the Energized bonuses.
• Penalties: This form wears the body out twice as fast, forcing the Saiyan to lose 4% of their current and maximum amount of Hit Points every minute, or 1% every melee. After reverting back to normal form, the current and maximum level of Hit Points is restored at the same rate, 1% every five minutes.

Super Saiyan Transformation

After a Saiyan has reached 5^th level, there is a chance that they can transform into a Super Saiyan. To determine whether the Saiyan can become a Super Saiyan, roll the percentile dice. If the Saiyan is the child of a Super Saiyan or knows that they are a descendent of a Super Saiyan, then this roll is unnecessary, it is automatically successful. Otherwise, if the result is greater than 10, the Saiyan does not come from the proper bloodline and there is no chance that the character can ever transform into a Super Saiyan. If the result was 10 or less or the Saiyan is a descendent of a Super Saiyan, then the possibility exists. For every level, starting at level 5, the character rolls 1D20 and adds their character level to the result. If the result is 18 or greater then it is possible for the Saiyan to go Super Saiyan with the proper motivating factors.

To become a Super Saiyan for the first time, the Saiyan must have a strong desire; this desire usually comes in the form of anger. This can occur with the death of a friend or the frustration to defeat an unstoppable enemy, or it can be artificially created through the psychic power of Bio-Manipulation or similar powers and spells. Once the level of desire is sufficient (GM's decision), the Saiyan will become a Super Saiyan and the hair will turn blond and the eyes will turn green. The transformation is instantaneous and the results take effect immediately. However, once a Saiyan has transformed the first time, he can transform again at will, but must be fully “energized” and then spend an additional melee action to go through the final transformation to become a Super Saiyan.

• Special Abilities: All Ki Manipulation Techniques, except Power Increasing Techniques, are used as if the Saiyan was +2 levels higher.
• Bonuses: +10 to PS, PP, and PE, +20 to Spd, +2D4x10 ISP, and doubles the Saiyan’s base S.D.C. and Hit Points (M.D.C. is determined by adding the S.D.C. and Hit Points together, dividing by 2, and then adding double the energized M.D.C. bonus). Also, the Saiyan has a bonus of +2 to all combat rolls, +2 attacks per melee, and has a base Natural and M.D.C. Armor Rating of 2 (before bonuses from energizing). Bonuses are determined once and are the same whenever the Saiyan transforms. These bonuses are cumulative with the Energized bonuses.

Super Saiyan 2^nd Grade Transformation

After becoming a Super Saiyan, there is a good chance that the Saiyan can achieve a higher level of power called Super Saiyan 2^nd Grade. It is also referred to as Ascended Super Saiyan. To become a Super Saiyan 2^nd Grade, the Saiyan must be at least 6^th level and for every level, starting at level 6, the Saiyan rolls 1D20 and adds their character level to the result. If the result is 20 or greater then it is possible for the Saiyan to go Super Saiyan 2^nd Grade.

Unlike most other levels of Super Saiyan, achieving Super Saiyan 2^nd Grade is simply a matter of possessing a certain level of power and does not require a great mental force. Once that level is reached, the Saiyan can become a Super Saiyan 2^nd Grade. The Saiyan’s appearance is little different from Super Saiyan, the Saiyan’s hair becomes a little longer and there is a slight increase in muscle mass, but other than that it is mainly a mental improvement than a physical one. Once a Saiyan has transformed the first time, he can transform again at will, but must be in Super Saiyan form and then spend an additional melee action to go through the final transformation to become a Super Saiyan 2^nd Grade.

• Special Abilities: All Ki Manipulation Techniques, except Power Increasing Techniques, are used as if the Saiyan was +3 levels higher.
• Bonuses: +5 to PS, PP, and PE, +10 to Spd, +3D4x10 ISP, and increases the Saiyan’s Super Saiyan S.D.C. and Hit Points by 50% (M.D.C. is determined by adding the S.D.C. and Hit Points together, dividing by 2, and then adding double the energized M.D.C. bonus). Also, the Saiyan has a bonus of +1 to all combat rolls, +1 attack per melee, and has a base Natural and M.D.C. Armor Rating of 3 (before bonuses from energizing). Bonuses are determined once and are the same whenever the Saiyan transforms. These bonuses are cumulative with the Energized and Super Saiyan bonuses.

Super Saiyan 3^rd Grade Transformation

After becoming a Super Saiyan or a Super Saiyan 2^nd Grade, there is a good chance that the Saiyan can achieve a higher level of power called Super Saiyan 3^rd Grade. This form is also referred to as Ultra Super Saiyan. To become a Super Saiyan 3^rd Grade, the Saiyan must be at least 7^th level and for every level, starting at level 7, the Saiyan rolls 1D20 and adds their character level to the result. If the result is 20 or greater then it is possible for the Saiyan to go Super Saiyan 3^rd Grade.

Similar to Super Saiyan 2^nd Grade, achieving Super Saiyan 3^rd Grade is simply a matter of possessing a certain level of power and does not require a great mental force. Once that level is reached, the Saiyan can become a Super Saiyan 3^rd Grade. The Saiyan will gain an extra 2’ (0.61 m) in height and an extra 50 lbs (22.7 kg), and his limbs will grow to be out of proportion to the rest of his body. Super Saiyan 3^rd Grade is an awkward appearance, and while it does give great power, the penalties associated are almost not even worth the effort. Once a Saiyan has transformed the first time, he can transform again at will, but must be in Super Saiyan form and then spend an additional melee action to go through the final transformation to become a Super Saiyan 3^rd Grade.

• Special Abilities: All Ki Manipulation Techniques, except Power Increasing Techniques, are used as if the Saiyan was +3 levels higher.
• Bonuses: +10 to PS and PE, +1D4x10 ISP, and increases the Saiyan’s Super Saiyan S.D.C. and Hit Points by 50% (M.D.C. is determined by adding the S.D.C. and Hit Points together, dividing by 2, and then adding triple the energized M.D.C. bonus). Also, the Saiyan has a bonus of +2 to all combat rolls, +1 attacks per melee, and has a base Natural and M.D.C. Armor Rating of 3 (before bonuses from energizing). Bonuses are determined once and are the same whenever the Saiyan transforms. These bonuses are cumulative with the Energized and Super Saiyan bonuses.
• Penalties: -5 to initiative, -3 attacks per melee, -5 to PP, and Spd is reduced by half.

Super Saiyan Full Power Transformation

Super Saiyan Full Power is sort of a combination of Super Saiyan 2^nd Grade and 3^rd Grade and is only available for Saiyans that can already transform into one of those two forms. For the few people that become Super Saiyans, this is usually the highest level they ever achieve. After becoming a Super Saiyan, there is a good chance that the Saiyan can achieve a higher level of power called Super Saiyan Full Power. It is also referred to as Super Saiyan 4^th Grade or Super Saiyan Final Grade. To become a Super Saiyan Full Power, the Saiyan must be at least 8^th level and for every level, starting at level 8, the Saiyan rolls 1D20 and adds their character level to the result. If the result is 20 or greater then it is possible for the Saiyan to go Super Saiyan Full Power.

Similar to Super Saiyan 2^nd Grade and 3^rd Grade, achieving Super Saiyan Full Power is simply a matter of possessing a certain level of power and does not require a great mental force. Once that level is reached, the Saiyan can become a Super Saiyan Full Power. The Saiyan’s appearance is little different from Super Saiyan, the Saiyan’s hair becomes a little longer and there is a slight increase in muscle mass, but other than that it is mainly a mental improvement than a physical one. Once a Saiyan has transformed the first time, he can transform again at will, but must be in Super Saiyan form and then spend an additional melee action to go through the final transformation to become a Super Saiyan Full Power.

• Bonuses: +10 to PS, PP, PE, and Spd, +3D4x10 ISP, and increases the Saiyan’s Super Saiyan S.D.C. and Hit Points by 50% (M.D.C. is determined by adding the S.D.C. and Hit Points together, dividing by 2, and then adding double the energized M.D.C. bonus). Also, the Saiyan has a bonus of +2 to all combat rolls, +2 attacks per melee, and has a base Natural and M.D.C. Armor Rating of 2 (before bonuses from energizing). Bonuses are determined once and are the same whenever the Saiyan transforms. These bonuses are cumulative with the Energized and Super Saiyan bonuses.

Super Saiyan Level 2 Transformation

After becoming a Super Saiyan there is a chance that the Saiyan can achieve the next level of power, the Super Saiyan Level 2. To become a Super Saiyan Level 2, the Saiyan must be at least 7^th level and for every level, starting at level 7, the Saiyan rolls 1D20 and adds their character level to the result. If the result is 22 or greater then it is possible for the Saiyan to go Super Saiyan Full Power with the proper motivating factors.

To become a Super Saiyan level 2 for the first time, the Saiyan must become have an even stronger desire then was required to achieve the level of Super Saiyan, usually in the form of intense rage. This can occur with the death of a close friend or family member, the betrayal of a close ally, or the intense desire to defeat an enemy. Once the level of desire is sufficient (GM's decision), the Super Saiyan will become a Super Saiyan Level 2. There is a small, but noticeable change in the Saiyan’s appearance: increase in muscle mass and head hair becomes longer and becomes more yellow then blond. The transformation is instantaneous and the results take effect immediately. Once a Saiyan has transformed the first time, he can transform again at will, but must be in Super Saiyan form and then spend an additional melee action to go through the final transformation to become a Super Saiyan Level 2.

• Special Abilities: All Ki Manipulation Techniques, except Power Increasing Techniques, are used as if the Saiyan was +6 levels higher.
• Bonuses: +15 to PS, PP, and PE, +30 to Spd, +3D4x10 ISP, and doubles the Saiyan’s Super Saiyan S.D.C. and Hit Points (M.D.C. is determined by adding the S.D.C. and Hit Points together, dividing by 2, and then adding triple the energized M.D.C. bonus). Also, the Saiyan has a bonus of +3 to all combat rolls, +2 attacks per melee, and has a base Natural and M.D.C. Armor Rating of 4 (before bonuses from energizing). Bonuses are determined once and are the same whenever the Saiyan transforms. These bonuses are cumulative with the Energized and Super Saiyan bonuses.

Mystic Super Saiyan Transformation

After becoming a Super Saiyan Level 2, there is a good chance that the Saiyan can achieve a higher level of power called Mystic Super Saiyan. To become a Mystic Super Saiyan, the Saiyan must be at least 8^th level and for every level, starting at level 8, the Saiyan rolls 1D20 and adds their character level to the result. If the result is 24 or greater then it is possible for the Saiyan to go Mystic Super Saiyan.

Unlike most other levels of being a Super Saiyan, achieving Mystic Super Saiyan is simply a matter of possessing a certain level of power and does not require a great mental force. Once that level is reached, the Saiyan can become a Mystic Super Saiyan. The Saiyan’s appearance is little different from the Saiyan’s original appearance, which means they will no longer have the distinctive blond hair and green eyes of a Super Saiyan. Once a Saiyan has transformed the first time, he can transform again at will, but must be in Super Saiyan Level 2 form and then spend an additional melee action to go through the final transformation to become a Mystic Super Saiyan.

• Special Abilities:
  1. All Ki Manipulation Techniques, except Power Increasing Techniques, are used as if the Saiyan was +8 levels higher.
  2. The Mystic Super Saiyan gains several Ki Manipulation Abilities even if he is not a student in the Art of Ki Manipulation. The Super Saiyan gains 4 Standard Energy Attacks, 2 Special Energy Attacks, 1 Maneuvering Technique, and 1 Miscellaneous Ki Technique. These techniques are chosen when the Saiyan first becomes a Mystic Super Saiyan and are the same every time he transforms. These techniques can be new abilities, or they can be used to increase the Saiyan’s ability in a given technique. These techniques can only be used when the Saiyan is transformed into a Mystic Super Saiyan.
• Special Abilities:
• Bonuses: +10 to PS, PP, and PE, +20 to Spd, +4D4x10 ISP, and increases the Saiyan’s Super Saiyan Level 2 S.D.C. and Hit Points by 50% (M.D.C. is determined by adding the S.D.C. and Hit Points together, dividing by 2, and then adding triple the energized M.D.C. bonus). Also, the Saiyan has a bonus of +1 to all combat rolls, +1 attack per melee, and has a base Natural and M.D.C. Armor Rating of 5 (before bonuses from energizing). Bonuses are determined once and are the same whenever the Saiyan transforms. These bonuses are cumulative with the Energized, Super Saiyan, and Super Saiyan Level 2 bonuses.

Super Saiyan Level 3 Transformation

After becoming a Super Saiyan Level 2, there is a chance that the Saiyan can achieve the next level of power, the Super Saiyan Level 3. To become a Super Saiyan Level 3, the Saiyan must be at least 10^th level and for every level, starting at level 10, the Saiyan rolls 1D20 and adds their character level to the result. If the result is 25 or greater then it is possible for the Saiyan to go Super Saiyan Level 3 with the proper motivating factors.

To become a Super Saiyan Level 3 for the first time, the Saiyan must become unbelievably angry. This can occur with the death of a close friend or family member or the betrayal of a close ally, the anger must be natural and cannot occur by using psychic or magical powers. Once the level of anger is sufficient (GM's decision), the Saiyan will become a Super Saiyan Level 3. There is a significant change in the Saiyan’s appearance: there is a great increase in muscle mass, the hair becomes golden yellow and becomes incredibly long. The transformation is instantaneous and the results take effect immediately. Once a Saiyan has transformed the first time, he can transform again at will, but must be in Super Saiyan Level 2 form and then spend an additional melee action to go through the final transformation to become a Super Saiyan Level 3.

• Special Abilities: All Ki Manipulation Techniques, except Power Increasing Techniques, are used as if the Saiyan was +10 levels higher.
• Bonuses: +20 to PS, PP, and PE, +40 to Spd, +4D4x10 ISP, and doubles the Saiyan’s Super Saiyan Level 2 S.D.C. and Hit Points (M.D.C. is determined by adding the S.D.C. and Hit Points together, dividing by 2, and then adding four times the energized M.D.C. bonus). Also, the Saiyan has a bonus of +4 to all combat rolls, +3 attacks per melee, and has a base Natural and M.D.C. Armor Rating of 7 (before bonuses from energizing). Bonuses are determined once and are the same whenever the Saiyan transforms. These bonuses are cumulative with the Energized, Super Saiyan, and Super Saiyan Level 2 bonuses.

Golden Oozaru Transformation

Once a Saiyan has achieved the level of a Super Saiyan Level 3, their normal Oozaru form is replaced by the Golden Oozaru. Whenever the Saiyan would transform into an Oozaru, the Saiyan will instead transform into a Golden Oozaru. The Golden Oozaru has golden fur, is 40’ (12.2 m) tall, and is even more powerful than a normal Oozaru.

In this powerful form, their ISP is multiplied by five and their base S.D.C. and Hit Points combine with their fully energized M.D.C. bonus and the result is multiplied by ten to determine the creature's total M.D.C. for the Golden Oozaru form and it has a Natural and M.D.C. Armor Rating of 15. For example, a 10^th level Saiyan with 200 S.D.C., 110 Hit Points, and a maximum M.D.C. bonus of 100 would have 4100 M.D.C. ((200+110+100) x10 = 4100) in Golden Oozaru form. All physical attributes are triple their maximum energized level and all Ki Manipulation Techniques except Power Increaseing Techniques are used as if the Saiyan was three times his level of experience. While the Saiyan is incredibly powerful in this form, he might lose control if he rolls under half his age on a percentile dice. The transformation into a Golden Oozaru takes one full melee round, during this time the Saiyan cannot attack, but he instantly possesses the full M.D.C. value of the Golden Oozaru but can take no actions. If a Saiyan loses his tail while in Golden Oozaru form, they will instantly revert to their regular form and will not be “energized”.

Super Saiyan Level 4 Transformation

The Super Saiyan level 4 is considered to be the ultimate level of power for a Saiyan Warrior, very few Saiyans can achieve this level and none in the recorded history of the Saiyan race have ever achieved this level of power and survived. To become a Super Saiyan Level 4, the Saiyan must be at least 12^th level and for every level, starting at level 12, the Saiyan rolls 1D20 and adds their character level to the result. If the result is 38 or greater then it is possible for the Saiyan to go Super Saiyan Level 4 with the proper motivating factors.

To become a Super Saiyan Level 4 for the first time, the Saiyan must in Golden Oozaru form and must be facing an opponent that is more powerful (GM's decision) and must be hit with an attack that destroys at least 50% of the Golden Oozaru’s total MDC (not current), including volleys. When this happens the Saiyan may lose complete control, roll the percentile dice. If the result is higher than double the Saiyan’s age, then the Saiyan has lost control and will instantly transform into a Super Saiyan Level 4. If the roll is 00, then the Saiyan loses control regardless of their age. There is a significant change in the Saiyan’s appearance: there is a great increase in muscle mass, the hair becomes shoulder length and deep black, and the Saiyan’s body is covered in a very thin layer of red fur, except on their chest, face, and neck, and the Saiyan’s eyes becoming completely black. The transformation is instantaneous and the results take effect immediately. Once a Saiyan has transformed the first time, he can transform again at will, but must be fully “energized” and then spend an additional melee action to go through the final transformation to become a Super Saiyan Level 4. This means that the Saiyan does not have to go through any of the other Super Saiyan Levels before becoming a Super Saiyan Level 4, but he still gains the bonuses from those previous levels.

• Special Abilities:
  1. All Ki Manipulation Techniques, except Power Increasing Techniques, are used as if the Saiyan was +12 levels higher.
  2. As long as the Saiyan is in Super Saiyan Level 4 form, the Saiyan will never transform into an Oozaru or a Golden Oozaru.
  3. A Super Saiyan Level 4 can create a dimensional portal once per day that will allow instantaneous transport to another dimension or any location in the same dimension. The portal can be created to any dimension that the Saiyan has traveled to or it can be set to take the Saiyan to a random dimension. There is a 75% chance that the random dimension will be Rifts Earth, Phase World, Wormwood, or a similar dimensional crossroad.
  4. The Super Saiyan Level 4 also gains several Ki Manipulation Abilities even if he is not a student in the Art of Ki Manipulation. The Super Saiyan gains 3 Standard Energy Attacks, 1 Special Energy Attack, 1 Maneuvering Technique, 2 Miscellaneous Ki Techniques, and 1 Legendary Ki Technique. These techniques are chosen when the Saiyan first becomes a Super Saiyan Level 4 and are the same every time he transforms. These techniques can be new abilities, or they can be used to increase the Saiyan’s ability in a given technique. These techniques can only be used when the Saiyan is transformed into a Super Saiyan Level 4.
• Bonuses: +30 to PS, PP, and PE, +60 to Spd, +4D6x10 ISP, and triples the Saiyan’s Super Saiyan Level 3 S.D.C. and Hit Points (M.D.C. is determined by adding the S.D.C. and Hit Points together and then adding five times the energized M.D.C. bonus). Also, the Saiyan has a bonus of +5 to all combat rolls, +4 attacks per melee, and has a base Natural and M.D.C. Armor Rating of 9 (before bonuses from energizing). Bonuses are determined once and are the same whenever the Saiyan transforms. These bonuses are cumulative with the Energized, Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan Level 2, and Super Saiyan Level 3 bonuses.

Super Saiyan Level 5 Transformation

Author's Note: It is important to mention that Super Saiyan Level 5 does not actually exist in the Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, or Dragon Ball GT series. It is a work of fiction inspired by the image shown above. Also note that the image was not drawn by the artist as shown on the image, the original artist is unknown to me and I chose to keep the false name on it for the sake of completeness.

The Super Saiyan 5 is the ultimate level of power for a Saiyan, it was rumored to exist in the ancient history of the Saiyans, but the knowledge of it was lost with the destruction of the planet Vegita. No modern Saiyans had ever managed to achieve this level of power. It was not until the few remaining Saiyans began to explore other dimensions that the Super Saiyan Level 5 finally manifested itself.

A lone Saiyan was exploring a planet in the Three Galaxies, near Phase World, when a large Splugorth army attacked him. The Saiyan transformed into a Super Saiyan Level 4, but it still was not enough to overcome his attackers, who were growing in number as reinforcements arrived. The warrior believed all would be lost and he would be killed until he heard a voice in his head that told him to be calm and that new power would flow from sources that he never even suspected he could access. As the attackers continued to strike at the Saiyan, he suddenly stopped fighting and simply stood still in the middle of the battlefield, his face composed in an expression of ultimate inner peace. Then with a sudden blinding light emanating from the Saiyan, he was transformed into the first Super Saiyan Level 5 in modern history. The Saiyan proceeded to kill all of his attackers with the same expression of inner peace that he wore just prior to his transformation.

To become a Super Saiyan Level 5 for the first time, a Saiyan must be a Super Saiyan Level 4 and be in a situation where he will lose a battle, no matter what the Saiyan could try. There must be nothing that he could do to win and no possibility of escape or surrender. The Saiyan must also have an ME of 20 or greater and be able to achieve complete inner peace (GM’s decision). If the Saiyan can achieve this level of inner peace, then he might (again, GM's decision) be contacted by a higher power that will be able to give him the energy required to alter his DNA to hold the amount of power that Super Saiyan Level 5 offers. The being that contacts the Saiyan is unknown; it could be the Cosmic Forge or another extremely powerful intelligence.

There is a significant change in the Saiyan’s appearance, there is a great increase in muscle mass, the hair becomes very long and white, the Saiyan’s body is covered in a very thin layer of white fur, except their chest, face, and neck, and the Saiyan’s eyes becoming completely red. The transformation is instantaneous and the results take effect immediately. Once a Saiyan has transformed the first time, he can transform again at will, but must be fully “energized” and then spend an additional melee action to go through the final transformation to become a Super Saiyan 5. This means that the Saiyan does not have to go through any of the other Super Saiyan levels before becoming a Super Saiyan Level 5, but he still gains the bonuses of the previous levels.

• Special Abilities:
  1. All Ki Manipulation Techniques, except Power Increasing Techniques, are used as if the Saiyan was +15 levels higher.
  2. The Super Saiyan Level 5 has the first two special abilities of the Super Saiyan Level 4 form in addition to the special abilities listed below.
  3. The Super Saiyan Level 5 has complete immunity to all mind altering affects from spells, psionics, drugs, or gases.
  4. The Super Saiyan Level 5 has the ability to disrupt anyone’s possession or control over another living creature (including animals).
  5. The Saiyan can choose any 3 Deific Powers from the following list: Bio-Regeneration: Deific, Control Tectonics, Control Weather: Local, Deific Curse: God-Blind, Deific Curse: Pox, Deific Curse: Pestilence, Dispel Deific Power, Display Deific Omen, Forge Holy Weapon, Godblaze, Hellfire Blasts, Resurrection: Deific, Mobile Sphere of Destruction, and Weaponwright. The Super Saiyan Level 5 must pay the cost for these powers in ISP instead of PPE, but the cost in body investment is unchanged. The Saiyan is not a full-fledged god, even though he has powers only the gods possess. He do not have followers and cannot perform any other god abilities except for the three Deific powers selected above. These powers are chosen when the Saiyan first becomes a Super Saiyan Level 5 and are the same every time he transforms. These powers can only be used when the Saiyan is transformed into a Super Saiyan Level 5. All Deific Powers are in the Palladium Fantasy RPG Book titled Dragons and Gods.
  6. The Saiyan gains 4 Standard Energy Attacks, 2 Special Energy Attacks, 1 Maneuvering Technique, 2 Miscellaneous Ki Techniques, and 1 Legendary Ki Technique. These techniques are chosen when the Saiyan first becomes a Super Saiyan Level 5 and are the same every time he transforms. These techniques can be new abilities, or they can be used to increase the Saiyan’s ability in a given technique. These techniques can only be used when the Saiyan is transformed into a Super Saiyan Level 5.
• Bonuses: +40 to PS, PP, and PE, +80 to Spd, +6D6x10 ISP, and quadruples the Saiyan’s Super Saiyan Level 4 S.D.C. and Hit Points (M.D.C. is determined by adding the S.D.C. and Hit Points together and then adding six times the energized M.D.C. bonus). Also, the Saiyan has a bonus of +6 to all combat rolls, +5 attacks per melee, and has a base Natural and M.D.C. Armor Rating of 10 (before bonuses from energizing). Bonuses are determined once and are the same whenever the Saiyan transforms. These bonuses are cumulative with the Energized, Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan Level 2, Super Saiyan Level 3, and Super Saiyan Level 4 bonuses.
