| Secret of Kata Nei |
|---|
| Kata Nei is a bamboo fighting style mostly favored by high-class Ammeni. It utilizes improvised weapons, preferentially untreated bamboo stalks, which the fighter cuts and splinters into nasty instruments during the fight. The character gains bonus dice to his BAMBOO WARRIOR (V) checks in a fight by breaking his weapons: each expended bamboo stalk gains one die, to a maximum of two (one for each hand) per check. Replacing the weapons mid-fight ranges from trivial (i.e. in a bamboo forest) to impossible; in extended conflict it requires either advance preparations or a defensive round spent in procuring replacements. |
| Secret of Bamboo Mercenary |
|---|
| Most mercenary officers in Ammeni are from Maldor, but half of the men are locals as well. Those units that cannot afford metal arms are forced to adapt to native conditions. The character with this Secret can use MELEE (V) and BAMBOO WARRIOR (V) interchangeably. |
| Secret of Healing |
|---|
| When the character is healing another with an Ability check, he can make an Effect off the result. As long as he maintains the Effect, the target character heals one Harm under the Effect level for every scene of bed rest. However, if the patient acts against the Effect’s recovery instructions, he suffers the Effect level as Harm as his wounds reopen. |
| Secret of Ritual Dance (specify) |
|---|
| The character has learned a specific, complex dancing performance purported to have wondrous power. If any character declares that a Secret his character possesses would be greatly supported by the preternatural qualities of this particular dance, this will be so: not only can the dancer support the Secret in action, but he can also share his Pool points with the user of the Secret. The player should keep a list of the Secrets that have been associated with the dance under this Secret. |
| Cost: the other character pays REASON equal to the number of Secrets aided by this particular dance before adding his. |
