Kitsu Medium School

Favor of the Ancestors

Once per scene, you may importune one invocation (see Importune Invocations, on page 189) with a school rank prerequisite up to your school rank without making the sacrifices usually required and without the usual TN increase.

Strength of a Thousand Ancestors (Action)

Once per game session, as a Support action, you may summon the spirit of an ancestor to possess you until the end of the scene. While possessed, you count as an Otherworldly being and use the profile of the ancestor (a non-specific human NPC profile such as the Venerable Provincial Daimyō on page 315, or, at the GM’s discretion, a PC with up to 180 XP that you have created in advance). Your character does not remember any time they spend possessed.

The smallest of the shugenja schools of the Great Clans, the Kitsu Medium School maintains an esoteric focus on the ancestors, which requires unique training and at least a trace of the original Kitsu bloodline. This mystical connection to their forebears allows them to perform magic that no others can. The Kitsu Mediums are the living bridge between the Lion Clan’s past and the present, acting as the voice of the ancestors in the present day. As traditionalists, they use the ancestral names for prayers to honor those who first mastered them.
