Pull my devil trigger
And due to the nigh-unanimous agreement. I will put up another sub-section for feedback and playtesting.
Character gen
Not much needs to said about char gen other than like 3 things
Secret arts
Secret arts are one the most difficult concepts to get. If only because of the sudden exposition of taoist mysticism and the elemental wheel. But basically all it is a system for buffs/debuffs tied to the theme of the Secret art.The discovery roll is rather meta in that you make like an justification and then receive from me a difficulty rating, and then you make the skill check and if successful the condition is created.
You also have several options pertaining to the afflictions you can inflict. First off is the ability to soothe/inflame conditions which either increases or lowers the penalty or bonus being affected.
elemental progression technique which is weird and I'm just gonna eyeball, but mechanically it just changes the non-mechanical nature of the condition.
Then you got Internal-External technique which is liked the book said really more of the Priest's thing which uses an existing condition to make a new condition.
Then you got paired condition which is similar to the above but it creates TWO new! condition one penalty and one bonus. You pick one and I do the other and together create a sort If then statement with the bonus/penalty
Then you got Yin-Yang technique which reverses a condition into its opposite so Penalty to Bonus or Bonus to Penalty.
Character gen

- Char gen is pretty much unchanged in its steps and stuff
- Only things changed would be archetypes since some don't really mesh; which doesn't mean you can't take their associated secret art save the priest one and maybe scholar. Also chi and the elemental flavors are gonna have their prices rejiggered so that elemental chis are a bit easier to get.
- Hold off on char gen until I got the above done. And then if you need it Ill help with char gen and also the creation of custom loresheets
