Notes for shticks either bought or considered by Xiao Fa. Here are rules on Shticks and some Sample Power Ratings.
Contents |
On 'Pass Without Disturbance' and 'Shape Chi'
It is *safest* to have them both at four: Pass With Disturbance at 4 lets you make multiple stealth rolls. Shape Chi at 4 lets you sneak through something with more than one "area of chi" (i.e. crossing the watchful river, then going through the watchful sand garden). Shaping one area wouldn't affect the chi of another.
(On the other hand, if crossing the river was particularly complicated and time-consuming, then the sand garden would probably be a new scene...)
On Feng Shui Shticks
Master Tranh has a power 4 shtick in determining the key change needed to attract a particular spirit that you have some sort of connection to/with. At Freq 2 (once a run) that's level 2 and 8 Eps. He also has a power 5 shtick in warding an area against a particular type of spirit. At Freq 2, that's also level 2. 10 Eps.
- Wow, this is suddenly a super-enticing pair of shticks!
On Personal Chi Shticks
Master Kwan and Shien have (and this one thinks Master Tenzin had) the ability to construct a directed meditation/ritual for a particular purpose. That is worth finding out about.
Chi Blast
Ranged Chi Ball attack: Roll Yang, damage x1, resisted by Yin (Tao 0 people are not immune)= Power 4
- Damage x1 = +1 etc
- Range = +1
- Other Attack Form (Yang based Chi-blast) = +1
- Resisted by yin = +0 if Tao 0 people are immune, or +1 if they are not
Other Shtick Questions
What power would you say "Use one of my other shticks at range" would be? I'm thinking of a once/run, make another chi-based shtick (which must also be activated) work at up to Yang hexes. Maybe using more than one shtick of this at a time adds on for range. (Gift of the Storm)
Tweak Chi shtick: Like Rewrite for I Ching, but only for Chi-based shticks, and maybe for one word's worth of change (addition, change, deletion)
Analyze Chi Effect: Get a Yin roll to get information about an incoming Sorcery/Chi/Fu effect: What it does and how much damage/die it is doing. Power 3 as a sense mode, Power 4 as an interrupt in-combat.
Chi-Based Riposte: (Uncle Iroh did it, Yoda did it, it must be canon, right?). Any Chi, Sorcery, or Fu effect can be channeled away from the target, maybe like a Chi Riposte? Only successes on a Yin roll can be rolled to redirect. Non-redirected effect is suffered by the target. Does that make sense? If the effect is not perfectly re-channeled, it may be colored by the personal chi of who redirected it. If it is perfectly redirected, then it will be exactly what shot at the target. About Power 5.
