Saiyan Transformations

Oozaru Transformation

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 5th 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.

Super Saiyan Transformation

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.

Super Saiyan 2nd 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 2nd Grade. It is also referred to as Ascended Super Saiyan. To become a Super Saiyan 2nd Grade, the Saiyan must be at least 6th 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 2nd Grade.
Unlike most other levels of Super Saiyan, achieving Super Saiyan 2nd 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 2nd 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 2nd Grade.

Super Saiyan 3rd Grade Transformation

After becoming a Super Saiyan or a Super Saiyan 2nd Grade, there is a good chance that the Saiyan can achieve a higher level of power called Super Saiyan 3rd Grade. This form is also referred to as Ultra Super Saiyan.

Once that level is reached, the Saiyan can become a Super Saiyan 3rd 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 3rd 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 3rd Grade.

Super Saiyan Full Power Transformation
Super Saiyan Full Power is sort of a combination of Super Saiyan 2nd Grade and 3rd 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 4th Grade or Super Saiyan Final Grade. To become a Super Saiyan Full Power, the Saiyan must be at least 8th level and for every level, starting at level 8, the Saiyan rolls 1D20 and adds their character level to the result.

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

Super Saiyan Level 4 Transformation

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.

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.
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.
