Dragon's Mountain - Technique

k D Entreat the Shadow Steed


Rank: 2

Activation: As a Support action, you may make a TN 2 Theology (Earth) check. This technique can be used only in the Shadowlands, or near a place where the corpse of a horse might be found, such as an ancient or recent battlefield.

Effect: If you succeed, you summon an onikage (see page 23) and bind it to your will. It obeys your commands, allowing you to ride it as per the Mounts and Riding rules on page 326 of the Core Rulebook. It reacts violently if others try to ride it.

New Opportunities


LL: The equine creature retains enough flesh to pass as a living horse; characters with vigilance 3 or lower do not notice its undead status.

LL+: Summon one additional onikage per LL spent this way.

LLL: Other characters whom you designate can also ride the onikage.
