Hierarchy of Oni

When creating an oni antagonist, the GM should first select a profile from one of the following options. Each oni is truly a unique being—but within the mortal realm, oni are capable of splitting into multiple forms to act in several places simultaneously. Lesser oni represent small shards of an oni’s soul, and are the weakest. Next are powerful oni, which are quite potent and possess a more substantial array of tricks and abilities, but still might have 1-2 other forms active. Finally, oni lords are complete beings—the full entity, with all its dread powers—and can threaten even the most powerful groups of samurai.
