| Iron Mountain |
| By calling upon their inner Demons, Kuei-jin who knows the arts of the Iron Mountain can withstand hideous amounts of damage. The Demon revels in pain, even its own; by drawing from its strength and rage, Kuei-jin prectitioners of this Discipline ignore or resist injury, even from magic and sunlight. The first five levels of this power works like Fortitude. ***** * Flaying the Demon Pain and destruction are the hallmarks of the Demon. As such, they are no hinderance to a properly monstrous Kuei-jin. Using this power, the Kuei-jin can ignore injury and push aside crippling agony. All of the punishments inflicted upon the Kuei-jin are instead felt by her P'o, and the mortification of the mortal flesh is nothing compared to the previous tortures of Yomi. ***** ** Torturous Transcendence Absorbing wounds into the rage of the Demon, the Kuei-jin stokes his own fury with his injuries. Thought the Kuei-jin can still be hurt, the force of the blows that he absorbs becomes fodder for hte might of his P'o. ***** *** Striking the Fire The fiercest masters of Iron Mountain can resist the damaging heat of fire and sunlight without flinching. To those who perfect their skills, resisting the flame is as simple as batting aside a whisp of smoke. ***** **** Exhalted Resilience os the Heavenly Jade Mountain The most sublime masters of this Discipline absorb damage that would rend the very flesh and bones of others. Indeed, the sages say that the very ephemeral substance of the soul is tethered to the body by the unyieling ferocity of the P'o. Surviving fire, explosions, even decapitating injury. |
