Nheko 205 Posted October 12, 2018 Under the Mantis Shugenja School it reads: Techniques Available: Air and Water Invocations (), Rituals (), Shūji () Does that means that the School is limited to those two elements? I haven’t received my book yet sadly so I don’t have any other Shugenja School to compare it to... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ExplodingJoe 131 Posted October 12, 2018 I would say yes, and that it was a purposeful move to lock the Mantis seers as related only to the air and water kami. The only time you can purchase techniques not listed in that splash is when they're included in school curriculum with the little diamond symbol. 2 1 GM81 Protocol Droid, Nheko and Suzume Chikahisa reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nheko 205 Posted October 12, 2018 Thanks! I feel a relief now that I overlooked Fury of Osano-wo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ExplodingJoe 131 Posted October 12, 2018 You'll see that little diamond a lot in the core book. It essentially means that the normal pre-reqs don't apply. It's commonly used to give schools some ninjitsu flavoring, or to give schools access to high rank techniques earlier than others would. 2 llamaman88 and Hida Jitenno reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GM81 Protocol Droid 142 Posted October 12, 2018 The way curricula work create some interesting paths for experience. The locked techniques that are not normally available can only be purchased while training in that rank if that trait isn't otherwise available, as opposed techniques that can just be purchased early. So Fury of Osano-Wo has to be purchased while exploring Rank 3. 1 Nheko reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"On the list" doesn't mean, "available from this point on," but "only while at this point"? 1 GM81 Protocol Droid reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct! The rule is on pg. 97 under Restrictions and Prerequisites. It explicitly says "for the current rank in their curriculum" for privileged access.
