This page is a '''Lore Sheet''' for the '''The Way Of Perfected Shen''', a set of '''Inner Masteries''' reflecting intense training of mental strength and acuity.

Because of the nature of some of these techniques, it is worth noting again the general rule that each Kung Fu secret can only be learnt once by a given Individual.
 
=Persistence of Youthful Qing=

''They say that with mastery of Dao, immortality is possible.''

'''Effect:''' You will not age unless you choose to. Theoretically, you could live forever. If you take this at character creation, you are assumed to be at least a couple of hundred years of age at character creation!
 Also, your youthful Qing gives you some additional benefits:
* You are immune to infectious diseases of all sorts, mundane and magical.
* You are immune to any magic that would age your physical body.
* You cannot be poisoned by any ingested, air-borne or blood-borne toxin, mundane or magical.
 
=Fortress of Iron Will=

''Your mental resilience is incomparable, visualised as an impenetrable thought that you will allow none to violate.''

'''Effect:''' Add +5 to your starting and maximum mental resilience.
 Also, your exeptionally strong Shen gives you some additional benefits:
* You are immune to magical mind control. No creature can ever command your mind through supernatural means.
* You have no problem concentrating on a task for indefinite amounts of time. Even after six hours straight of solving logic puzzles, you'd still maintain focus as well as for the first few minutes.
* Mentally, you do not suffer from sleep deprivation and are never penalised in mental or social conflicts for tiredness. The body still flags though, so physical conflict still suffers.
