Xiao Fa Shtick Notes

Notes for shticks either bought or considered by Xiao Fa. Here are rules on Shticks and some Sample Power Ratings.

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. He also has a power 5 shtick in warding an area against a particular type of spirit.

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
