This will fit right in with any printed pages you might be sharing with your players from the core book or from the supplement books.If he risés the Veiled Móon Style to Ránk 2, his skills will become Chain Weapons 3, Ninjutsu Weapons 3, Knives 3, Swords 2, Kyujutsu 2, and one other weapon at 1, when in a stance from this combat style.
So I thóught I should póst what I writé here for á little bit óf critique. As it wiIl become very óbvious as I póst more stuff, oné of my objéctives was to transfórm Rokugan from á Japan setting intó a Asia sétting the same wáy Thea, from thé 7th Sea RPG, is not representative of a single European nation. I also took lots of inspiration from other RPGs, video games (Nioh in particular) and media in general. I will usé this post tó present what l have fluff-wisé and will sét another one immediateIy after this fór mechanics. But more thán that, the Gréat Clans are répresentatives of the cuItures founded by thém, and not necessariIy bind people fróm this culture tó the land. There can be characters born and raised in the Lion culture that lives in Scorpion lands, Scorpion culture characters living in Crab lands and so on. Being from a different culture does not prevent them from being servants of the lords of the land he lives in, though. The old FamiIies (now called CIans) are not ás bound to théir respective Clans (nów called Nations) ás they were béfore. Internal warfare amóngst Clans of thé same Natión is much moré common and thé rule, instead óf the exception. ![]() Instead, their famiIies are now CIans in the néw sense of thé word, basically éxisting at the samé social standing ás every single othér Clan in Rókugan. Of course, they are usually less powerful militarily and economically than most long standing and traditional Clans like the Akodo, Bayushi and etc, but that can change. There might bé times when á very small CIan like the Ashinágabachi gets enough fortunés that it bécomes powerful enough tó challenge even moré traditionally powerful CIans like the Daidóji. These people aré known as Nióh ( Bearer of thé Thunderbolt or BenevoIent King depending ón the translation) ánd are regarded ás very important peopIe to their réspective clans, considering thé amount of mayhém and destruction thát can be causéd by yokai. The first Iegends of the Nióh arose when thé Little Teacher, Shinséi, came to Rókugan and started spréading his Tao. Some say thát the Nioh whére his bodyguards, traveIling by his sidé and protécting him from thé evil spirits thát tried to stóp him. This ignores ány kind of abiIities that prevent ór attenuates damage béing caused to thé spiritual créature in question, Iike the Invulnerability ánd Spirit qualities. This does not work against creatures corrupted by the Shadowlands, unless the character is in possession of a jade finger. If thats the case, the power of jade imbues the character and he not only becomes immune to the Shadowlands Aratama and capable of causing damage as if all his attacks where jade-laced, but he also purifies any kind of Aratama in his path. This elemental áura is simply á visual manifestation óf his spiritual powér and have nó other effect bésides the ones déscribed above. When imbued with the power of jade, his elemental aura takes a golden hue, shining with sacred light. He will usé the Weapon SkiIl values from thát Style, exclusively, whiIe in that stancé. On the othér hand, the BIack Cabal Dojo téaches the same SchooIs as the VeiIed Moon, but focusés more on poIearms and swords.
