Descrição
Omamori are protective charms, sold at many shrines across the Emerald Empire, often in the form of a small envelope or bag containing a written or inscribed prayer to a particular kami (often one of the great Fortunes, but occasionally others). Most examples provide protection against ill fortune of a specific variety such as illness or accidents, or encourage good luck in some sphere, such as farming, travel, or marriage, but are never put to the test in any rigorous manner—the kami move by paths unseen by mortal eyes, after all, and it is hard to determine if a talisman was truly responsible for one’s safety.
Shugenja and other powerful servants of the kami are capable of creating especially efficacious protective charms. These frequently contain appeals to the seven Great Fortunes (such as the three listed here), but can also offer other protections by appealing to different powers.
An omamori might contain one of the following blessings:
Boon of Fukurokujin: Fukurokujin, Fortune of Wisdom, illuminates the truth even when tricksters seek to obscure it. Once per game session, the wearer may spend 1 Void point to remove a condition or persistent effect caused by a Scheme action.
Boon of Bishamon: Bishamon promises glory at arms to the bold, and draws the eyes of the powerful to those who prove their strength. Once per game session, when the wearer receives a glory award, the wearer may spend 1 Void point to increase that award by 3.
Boon of Benten: Benten watches over artists and lovers, guiding them in their endeavors. Once per game session, after rolling dice, the wearer may spend 1 Void point to add a kept set to an result to an Artisan or Social check.
The kami can be a bit jealous in their stewardship, however. While a character can theoretically wear multiple protective charms at once, they cannot benefit from any of these blessings while they are wearing more than one omamori. (Cost: 5 bu. Rarity: 2.)
