Heavenfall

Jin takes a sip of his drink and nods, "If even then. Dark tools can stain the soul even if the motive is pure." A frown, "I wonder if it required the concentrated evil of that place to reach this point of if we are in danger of these popping up through the land from where shards had fallen."

"At least it does not radiate the evil. Still, I would be very careful. I cannot imagine a cut from it would be safe."

Did I miss you getting tainted beyond the .01? Because you can choose to run with it if you want but it is also fully possible to live forever at that level and never know it (unless the GMs decide to run with it). An example roll for an Earth 2 character - no bonuses no penalties. After 5 years the...

Agreed on the attack - on a skim I was thinking five ranks so when I saw it as second to last I assumed it was rank 4. For non combat-machines it is rarely, if ever, rank 3.

I assume by 'Lore (any one specialty)' you mean sub-type not emphasis? In which case it's usually just listed as 'any Lore skill'

I don't think the term 'specialty' has any meaning in this edition so you'd want to drop it from the wording for Rank 2 as well.

So any slight disappointment at not ending up the Demon Bride?

Ok so Na'na-zi started off as a joke but now my brain looks at motivation for their trying to become a true and best samurai so they can duel those who have stolen their lands to reclaim them both in the eyes of the Nezumi and the Empire....

"I will be honest. I do not trust any 'bite' coming from that realm. Have you tried leaving the darkened piece with jade? To ensure the darkness is truly trapped?"

Post-work crash - back in a few hours

"So they're not really the same stone then. Like the difference between greenstone and jade. Only one is of the heavens... though the fact that the heavenly one is the one that falls to corruption is disconcerting. What does that say about Lord Moon...."

Jin rubs his chin in thought as he scrutinizes it, "Maybe they are not in the same balance as in jade? A flaw or weakness - a fracture point where the darkness seeps in."

A frown crosses Jin's face as he examines them closely, without touching either knowing how sharp they can be and not trusting the off-color.

"Did... did it absorb the darkness instead of repelling it? The opposite of jade?"

I'll probably wrap my goals up tomorrow so if anyone did want to chip in let me know before then.

A pulse and a distaste for tyranny are about the only requirements he is aware of. He's kind of at a loss when it comes to romance and love.

Heh so many 'if things were different' wives. But she definitely would have made the short list I think.

Jin chuckles, "When the monk says 'give Sora the worst job possible' well, we give Sora the worst job possible."

Jin accepts his cup, "Here's to hell and back... literally."

I promise no dissections let alone vivisection. I enjoyed the interactions with Ko. Kind of wish we had gotten the ball rolling on them earlier but hindsight is 20/20. I wish too, actually! This reminds me we can still push our D16 scene a little longer, if you like (fight consumed the attention I ...

Any more history excerpts?

Though we did mention creating a pyre being the plan for bodies after Zombie Rat so he'll be more angry, evil ashes if anything
