Scent of Weakness
Descrição
The secret desires of a samurai’s heart are as playthings to an oni, who may be able to see hidden weakness as if written in burning letters on the samurai’s face or to smell the wants and needs the samurai keeps hidden as clearly as wafting perfume.

Regras
- First Rank: As a Scheme Action, the oni may make a Social (Air) check targeting one character in the scene with a TN equal to the target's vigilance. Success reveals the target’s ninjō to the oni, including contextual details. For example, an oni using this power against a character with a ninjō of secret love would learn not only about this hidden desire, but also whom the character longs for, what their love looks like, and similar information as the GM deems appropriate. This does not in and of itself grant the oni power over the target, but may help the oni in other ways, such as empowering the Captivating Voice power (see page 137) or enabling it to further a secret scheme. Characters who have their secrets exposed to the oni in this way have no way of knowing the extent of what it learned.
- Additional Ranks: Reduce the TN of the check by 1 (to a minimum of 0).
