Techniques

Rank 1: Ride with Honor

The lion bushi has been trained to ride and fight at the same time. They also know the great followers of bushido. While on horseback they may add their honor to any skill roll.

Rank 2: The Way of the Lion

The akodo school is one of precision. Bushi of this School may ignore the effects of their opponent’s armor or gain a Free Raise when attacking or making a horsemanship roll.

Rank 3: With the Strength of My Ancestors

Lion bushi truly believe that their ancestors guide their every action. At this Rank, the bushi may attack twice per turn, once for himself, and once for their ancestors.

Rank 4: Ride with My Ancestors

The bushi knows his ancestors guide their every action. While on horseback, if the bushi’s damage roll kills an opponent, that strike does not count as one of his attacks for the round.

Rank 5: The Final Lesson

The Lion bushi has learned the final secret of the Akodo technique: there are no failures. If the bushi raises his TN, misses the now raised but rolls greater than the original TN, the roll succeeds, but he does not get the benefits of his raises. This advantage can be used in both physical and mental contests.
