Guardian of the Secret Gate
EarthDescrição
The Blessing of Bishamon’s Children (Fortunist), Ancestry Revived (Ancestral), The Earth Does Not Forget (Elemental)
In a time of need, a skilled shugenja can call upon an ancestor to help them. Should the shugenja dishonor themself in the spirit’s presence, however, little will save them from the wrath of Yomi.
Regras
- Ativação
As a Support action, you may make a TN 5 Theology (Earth) check targeting an unoccupied position at range 0–3. Additionally, you must stake honor equal to your honor rank.
- Efeitos
If you succeed, you summon an ancestral spirit from Yomi to the target position. The spirit is generally disposed to help you but refuses to perform dishonorable acts, and you lose your staked honor if you act dishonorably in the spirit’s presence. Additionally, the spirit may become hostile if you act in a particularly egregious fashion (subject to GM discretion). The spirit persists until the end of the scene, its Attack actions always inflict supernatural damage, and it uses an NPC profile with both its () and () conflict ranks less than or equal to your honor rank (subject to GM approval).
Novas oportunidades
- Earth : If you succeed, you remove strife equal to your honor rank.
- Earth +: The TN of the first check made by the spirit is reduced by 1 (to a minimum of 1) per spent this way.
- Earth : The spirit persists until the end of the game session.
