Descrição
These intimidating masks are not a particularly common tool for shinobi, but those who don them do so for several reasons: it protects and obscures the face, it intimidates foes, and like the imposing masks of many suits of samurai armor, it sends a strong message of the wearer’s intentions. Rumors say that some demon masks are actually made from the severed and collected faces of oni, allowing an individual who wears one to access demonic powers at great peril to the purity of their soul. However, if such wicked artifacts truly exist, surely they were swept up long ago by the Kuni Witch Hunters or the Scorpion Kuroiban and hidden away from mortal hands.
A demon mask grants the wearer the following additional unarmed profile: Horned head butt (Martial Arts [Unarmed], Range 0, Damage 3, Deadliness 2). (Cost: 1 koku. Rarity 5. Qualities: Forbidden.) This profile reflects a mundane article, but if the GM wished to introduce a true demon mask into their story, they could use the rules for nemuranai from page 307 of the core rulebook, substituting a mahō technique for an Invocation and the Unholy quality for the Sacred quality—and obviously, such an item would be nearly unique.
