Dragon's Mountain - Technique

k A Guardian of the Secret Gate

Rank: 5

Activation: As a Support action, you may make a TN 5 Theology (Earth) check targeting an unoccupied position at range 0–3. Additionally, you must stake honor equal to your honor rank.

Effect: If you succeed, you summon an ancestral spirit from Yomi to the target position. The spirit is generally disposed to help you but refuses to perform dishonorable acts, and you lose your staked honor if you act dishonorably in the spirit’s presence. Additionally, the spirit may become hostile if you act in a particularly egregious fashion (subject to GM discretion). The spirit persists until the end of the scene, its Attack actions always inflict supernatural damage, and it uses an NPC profile with both its (E) and (G) conflict ranks less than or equal to your honor rank (subject to GM approval).
