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.
Piercing Argument of Perfection
When you utilise the classical forms, who can deny your arguments?.
Cost: 3 Yang Chi.
Effect: Your accuracy increases by twice your Heaven Trigram for this attack.
Counteract: If the target has a higher Earth trigram than your Heaven trigram, the effect is automatically countered.
Fury of the Impassioned Heart
Who can stand in the way of the passion of your words?
Cost: 2 Yang Chi.
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.
Cascade of Words
One argument follows another smoothly, and with great pace. Who would dare interrupt you?
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: Make an additional attack after this one. Any chi effects or powers applying to the previous attack do not apply to this new attack. Regardless of source, the maximum number of attacks you can make in one turn is equal to your Thunder Trigram.
Elegant Flow of Conversation
Your words naturally gather yang chi, thanks to their elegance and dynamism.
Cost: 0 Yang Chi.
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.
Every Point Addressed
You dissect every argument against you, and counteract them one by one
Cost: 3 Yin Chi.
Effect: Reduce accuracy of the attack by 2x your Earth trigram. This can reduce accuracy to zero.
Silence of Still Waters
You listen, carefully, and while you appear to be doing nothing to defend yourself you are mastering the flow of debate.
Cost: None.
Effect: Gain Yin Chi equal to the Yang Chi the enemy expended this on this attack.
Limitation: No Combo Techniques.
Stoic Soul
It doesn’t matter if the enemy flings insults at you, you are unmoved.
Cost: 3 Yin Chi.
Effect: Reduce power of the attack by 2x your Mountain trigram. This can reduce power to zero.
Mirror of Mockery
Your whimsical remarks and interruptions make enemy words seem foolish and irrelevant
