House Rules/Kuei-jin

House Rules - Kuei-jin "All warfare is based on deception." -Sun Tzu

Dharma Rating Requires time (same minimums as '+rules shifter rank') and XP (current*4) in addition to Auspicious Occasion rolls (KotE 52-53) Capped at 5 (KotE page 13 compares 6+ to 7th/lower generation) Rites with higher level than your Dharma Rating are +1 diff (KotE 126) Disciplines Obligation 5, Soul Shackles (KotE 126): For Spirit Bond, "unmodified Hun" just means "without adding an ability". Other modifiers to Hun value and/or difficulty apply normally. Martial Arts "Martial Arts (hard style)" and "Martial Arts (soft style)" are available to all races. In lieu of higher cost, you must have Brawl at equal/higher level. You may learn both styles. For more information, see the Advanced Combat page. Nushi Works like Totem, see '+rules nushi' Wyrm Taint "Kuei-jin usually detect as Wyrm-tainted to the senses of the Lupines - but not always. In particular, the Thrashing Dragon Dharma often seems to radiate Wyld energy, and the Resplendent Crane Dharma Weaver energy. However, almost all Kuei-jin (except those of great enlightenment - Dharma 7+) have at least a subtle hint of Wyrm taint. Naturally, this can be accelerated by the actions of the Kuei-Jin in question - a Cathayan who indulges in flesh eating very likely smacks of the stench of the Defiler." (KotE Companion page 125)
