Rank 1 |
The Way of the Phoenix |
|
Shiba bushi are trained in a "no-thought" technique of this School. As such, Shiba bushi may add their Void Rank to any to hit or damage rolls. Also, they may spend up to their maximum Void Points on a single action. | ||
Rank 2 |
Dancing With the Elements |
|
Because the Phoenix bushi are trained with the Phoenix shugenja, they have become trained to be more attuned to the manipulation of the elements. The bushi may spend a Void Point to increase or decrease the TN of any spell targeting him by 5. | ||
Rank 3 |
One With Nothing |
|
At this Rank, the bushi learns how to fall into a "no-mind" trance. The bushi may spend a Void Point to gain an additional action per Round. This ability cannot be used to gain an additional attack. | ||
Rank 4 |
Everywhere and Nowhere at Once |
|
At this Rank, the bushi has learned to let his Void flow to such an extent that he gains two attacks per turn. | ||
Rank 5 |
One With All and Nothing |
|
The bushi has finally learned to release the full power of "no-thought." By spending a Void Point, the bushi may substitute his Void Rank for any Trait or skill until the end of the turn. | ||
