Xia: Inner Masteries

Xia: Main Page -> Xia: Inner Masteries

This page links to Lore Sheets for various Inner Masteries. Within each Lore Sheet is a selection of Inner Masteries that your character might choose to learn.

Common Masteries

The Lore Sheets linked below represent common mastery sets. These are the sort of masteries that starting characters would be likely to know, and which are easily acquired and learnt. Knowledge of these masteries is not hard to find - most Taoist priests are aware of the basic principles, and even ordinary peasant wisdom may contain pointers as to how to pursue these masteries.

These Masteries are usually referred to as "Ways". Dao (as in Taoism) translates directly as "The Way".

• Xia: The Way Of Cultivated Chi - This is a Way that concentrates on harmony and cultivation of inner chi.
• Xia: The Way Of Mastered Qing - This is a Way that enhances on control and mastery of the physical self.
• Xia: The Way Of Perfected Shen - This is a Way that sharpens the mind to state of near-perfection.

Rare Styles

The Lore Sheets linked below represent rarer inner masteries. Starting characters will not normally have access to these, at least not without GM agreement. Seeking out a teacher or lore scrolls for these techniques is a quest in itself. Even mastering these skills through self-discovery is a real challenge, and takes determined effort.

• Xia: The Way of the Sorcerer - This is a Way that improves magic and spell casting.
• Xia: The Way of the Inner Perfection - These vital techniques allow Xia to grow greater in themselves through increasing mastery of their Trigrams.
