Skull-Cleaving Oni
Descrição
Whereas most oni seek dominion, the skull-cleaving oni believes in Fu Leng’s inherent authority and divinity in a twisted reflection of Rokugani veneration of the Dark Kami’s siblings. As such, it prefers to proselytize its faith to others and try to win them over to the service of Fu Leng. Of course, being an oni, its ideas of persuasion do not always match Rokugani norms. While it may debate theology or argue for the benefits of embracing the Taint if given the chance, it also tries more forceful means of persuasion. Those who let their guard down may have jade stolen from them so that the Taint seeps in whether willingly accepted or not, or the oni may offer a defeated foe one last chance to “repent” before claiming their skull. Ultimately, the skull-cleaving oni doesn’t care if its converts are sincere in their worship, as long as they offer it.

- UNHOLY SHRINE GUARDIAN: The skull-cleaving oni is a Tainted, Otherworldly being of silhouette 3. At night, its appearance changes to that of a placid monk of silhouette 2, and its cleaver to that of a walking stick. The oni may dismiss the illusion at any time, and it always does so before engaging in combat. Characters can make a TN 4 Theology check (Water 3, Earth 5) to see through this false appearance. Once per scene as a Support action, the oni may chant to summon and control 6 fudoshi vines (see page 22) that act at Initiative 1 each round.
