| Special Rules |
| Backgrounds: |
| Most backgrounds available to mortal characters in World of Darkness are open to Shih, SFO and Mortal hunters. There are some special cases that I'd like to mention. Arsenal: Arsenal is s special background reserved for primarily SFO, though some mortal Hunters may possess this background as well. In SFO this is used to determine the number of enhancements agents have. (These are listed in the Demon Hunter X sourcebook.) For mortal hunters, arsenal is used to determine the number of special weapons they may possess (not cyberware) to fight shen with. All the "custom" weapons must be approved by the St before IC use. Jade Talisman(True Jade): Realisticly only Shih would possess this background and none should start play with a jade talisman with a rating beyond 3 Talisman/Artifact: Shih and mortal hunters may take this merit. The talismans may have a rating of 1-3 if brought in at creation. More powerful talismans may be found during gameplay or older ones may turn out to be more than they originally appeared. They may be of amost any type, but must be submitted to the ST for approval before they are used in play. SFO may not take this merit. Instead they have the background Arsenal. All talismans or artifacts still cost XP to be retained beyond a single story arc and cost 2x the level of the item. That includes things given to shih by outside sources (like other PCs) |
| Abilities |
| Awareness: This ability is available to both Mortals and Shih. SFO are too out of touch with their mystic side to make use of his ability unless you are the team psi. (See Psi of SFO creation page). Body Control: players may take this but only with the prerequisite of Athletis 3, meditation 3 and a Martial arts or yoga knowledge of 2, due to the detication required to learn these tasks. Simply having Martial Arts as a skill isn't enough. Do: Only Shih may take this one as per Demon Hunter X (more Details are given in Shih Character Creation) |

| Beyond these specials, most other talents, Skills, Knowledges and Backgrounds are acceptable for play and may be chosen from the following books: KOE, KOE Companion, DHX, Sorcerer (Revised), Hunters Hunted and the Halls of the Arcanium as well as Vtm, Mage and Werewolf. If you are unsure of something, please feel free to ask. Remenber, this page is always subject to update. Hopefully, there won't be any abuses that warrent any drastic changes or additions. |
