I feel this should be a simple answer, but I cannot find it anywhere to be sure of this.
When an Oni uses a Ki feat, it gains Ki (Rage) which then disperse during the Ki phase. Do the Oni also gain Ki to increase their Melee Dice-pools, or do they spend the Ki as per normal models - thereby in increasing their Dice-Pools they are venting out all their rage?
I am assuming increasing your Dice Pool as an Oni does increase your Ki, but would like a second opinion :)
Any Ki feat adds Ki to an Oni's card rather than depleting it, and as adding dice to your stats is considered a Ki Feat the same rule applies:)
