Grace of the Gentle Breeze
AirDescrição
Spies and assassins have often chosen to disguise themselves as monks throughout Rokugani history, for monks often pass in plain sight when other members of society would attract notice—neither peasants nor samurai, their status as outsiders within the system grants them a degree of leeway most do not enjoy. However, a skillful user of ki has no need for a disguise and can instead walk in front of those who intend them harm without concern by shrouding their presence in an aura of harmlessness. While most people are not trained to intentionally detect ki and its usage, this does not mean that they do not react instinctively to it, and a ki practitioner can use their inner energy in this way to make themself unremarkable to humans, animals, and even spirits.
Regras
- Ativação
As a Support action, you may make a TN 2 Survival (Air) check to make your presence much more subtle. When you perform this action, you may choose any number of characters at range 0–3 as targets for the Burst effect.
- Efeito de aprimoramento
If you succeed, this kihō activates. While this kihō is active, characters who are unaware of your presence or location treat their vigilance as 2 lower when you make checks to avoid their notice, and those characters increase the TN of checks to look for you by +2. Animals are not disturbed by your presence.
- Efeito de explosão
If you have one or more bonus successes, each target with vigilance lower than or equal to your bonus successes loses track of you, becoming unaware of your location. While you are not invisible to these characters, they are subject to the Enhancement Effect when they attempt to find you (as long as you keep it active), and count as being unaware of you for effects that require it.
