This page is a Lore Sheet for the Eightfold Path of Persuasion, a set of eight Heart Secrets that maximise the power of social Chi fundamentals.

These techniques can only be used for social conflict, for social attacks and social defences.

Incisive Solution

Inspiration comes not from within, but above. When heaven sees the solution to your problems, you cannot fail.

Effect: Double the Power of your attack, after all other modifiers..

Counteract: If the target has a higher Water trigram than your Fire trigram, the effect is automatically countered.

Principle of Efficiency

What seems like one thoughtstream is actually many. Quickness of mind comes from efficiency.

Cost: 3 Yang Chi.

Special Activation: You can activate this technique after the attack is resolved. It does ot have to be declared at the usual time.

Effect: For each dice that hits on this attack, gain 1 Yang Chi. The maximum amount of Yang Chi you can gain in a single turn from this technique is equal to your Wind Trigram.

Flawless Defences

Your plans are hard to disrupt, just because you are so careful in your defences. Liek a flawless diamond, your mind is without weakness.
