Special Circumstance Opportunities
In Shadowlands
** Though Jigoku’s power weighs heavily upon them, you are undeterred. By drawing on memories of the un-Tainted lands north of the wall, you can keep yourself focused and ignore all Strife results on your next check.
Against Tainted Threats
** or *** If the character spends**, they discern that the kami have fled, as well as the type of disturbance (mahō, kansen, or similar). If the character spends ***, they can also determine the total combat Military threat rating of all Tainted beings that caused the kami to flee.
While Tainted
**+ The unnatural insights of the kansen voice themselves wordlessly to you, granting knowledge you could not possibly have known otherwise. You learn something relevant to the current situation, appropriate in scope to the number of * spent. For each * spent in this way, you receive 1 strife due to the unnatural means by which you gained this knowledge.
