Techniques
Rank 1: Way of the Fox - The Niten method taught by the school adds 5 to
the TN number to hit a Fox bushi.
Rank 2: Eyes of the Fox - The Kitsune teach their students to know the enemy and his strengths.
The bushi may add his Perception to his attack roll and his Intelligence to his damage roll.
Rank 3: Speed of the Fox - The Fox practitioner may make 2 attacks per round. However, each
time the bushi attacks, roll a D10. If a 1 is rolled, the attack misses. If a 10 is rolled, the
standard attack is replaced by 2 jiujitsu attacks instead.
Rank 4: Cunning Are Our Ancestors - Drawing on the blood of the True Kitsune, the bushi may
replace an attack with a taunt. The may be verbal, but is often physical as well. This is an Agility
+ (weapon skill) versus the opponent's willpower. A success means the opponent must make Full Attacks
against the Fox for the remainder of the combat (with an additional +10 to TN to hit). If the Fox
fails, he may not taunt his opponent again that day. A tie has no result.
Rank 5: Know Your Enemy - The Fox must understand his foe. For each round he faces a particular
oppenent, he adds one die to all hit and damage rolls. If his die pool exceeds ten, then he begins
adding the extra die to his keep pool. If a Fox bushi has already faced a particular opponent, then
he begins adding two die per round. If the bushi has faced at least 10 samurai of equal or greater
rank from the same school, he begins with an extra die in his pool.
