Ki Discipline At 1st-level, a bloodrager (ki master) chooses a ki discipline: Cunning, Eminence, or Enlightenment. If they choose Cunning, their ki pool and all bloodrager and monk abilities they gain that are normally Charisma- or Wisdom-based become Intelligence-based. If they choose Eminence, their ki pool and all bloodrager and monk abilities they gain that are normally Wisdom-based become Charisma-based. If they choose Enlightenment, their ki pool and all bloodrager and monk abilities they gain that are normally Wisdom-based become Charisma-based. See the Scaled Fist as an example of how to do this.
Ki Blood: A bloodrager (ki master) retains their bloodline and all associated abilities, but rather than learning the bloodline spells, they gain them as spell-like abilities. They use their ki points to cast these spell-like abilities costing an amount equal to 1 + half the spell level (rounded down). Any bloodrager powers that adjust how they use bloodrager spells (such as Greater Bloodrage and Mighty Bloodrage) use their ki powers and bloodline spell-like abilities instead.
