Techniques

Rank 1: The Snake's Fangs - The Bushi has learned to fight with two same type weapons be it Waakizashi (Kenjutsu), Sai, Jitte (Nofujutsu), Tanto, Aiguchi(Tantojutsu). When he uses two same type weapons the bushi can add its Rank to the dices he rolls to hit.

Rank 2: The Snake Gaze - The Bushi has learned to distract his opponent using his two weapons. By spending a Void point and making a simple Void roll vs the target Willpower x 5 he may reduce his target TN to be hit by 5 times his Rank.

Rank 3: The Snake Venom - The Bushi has learned to use fully its two weapons. Now he may add the weapons damage code, effectively doubling it's dice to roll and to keep.

Outfit (Average Quality): Katana, Wakizashi, Bow, 20 arrows of any type, Traveling Pack, Light Armor, Kimono, 2 weapons of the same type or a wakizashi, 1 koku.
