Strength of the Yomi
By deathfyre@aol.com
Description
This Demon Art allows the powers of the Yomi to increase the strength of a Kuei-Jin. To activate the discipline for a scene a point of demon Chi must be spent. For every dot in the discipline all rolls involving strength are reduced by one; if this lowers the difficulty to 2 and there are still dots unused to lower difficulties you gain one automatic success per dot.
High Level Powers
****** Bone BreakerThe Kuei-Jin concentrates and delivers a mighty blow often strong enough to punch through reinforced steel.System: Spend 1 demon Chi, roll P'o at diff. Hun. For each sucsess gain one automatic success on your next Strength roll this scene.
******* Hells FistThe destructive forces of the Yomi enfold the Kuei-Jin's hands, causing great damage to all she touches.System: Spend 1 demon Chi. For the rest of the scene all Martial-Arts of Brawl attacks do by the Kuei-Jin cause Aggravated damage.
******** Tear the SoulThe Kuei-Jin is now able to attack an opponent's Chi reserves or physical body.System: The Kuei-Jin makes a brawl or martial-arts attack roll at diff. 8. Each success drains 1 point of Chi, Gnosis, blood, etc. from the victim. The Kuei-Jin does not need to expend any Chi herself to use this maneuver.
********* Smash the Jade WallThe Kuei-Jin uses brute force to open a way to the spirit worlds. System: The Kuei-Jin locates an intersection of 2 or more dragon lines and then makes a unmodified Strength roll at the difficulty of the local wall. For each success the wall's rating drops by 1. If the rating falls below 2 a portal to yin/yang or yomi worlds may be created. The Wall returns to its normal rating at the end of the scene with the sound of a gunshot, audible in all of the worlds.
