Xia: Specialised Skills

Xia: Main Page -> Xia: Specialised Skills

Introduction

This page works a bit differently than most category pages. There are no Lore Sheets for specialised skills - instead, each skill is its own separate and unrelated kung fu secret. This page suggests some Specialised Skills you might want to consider, and describes what they allow you to do.

The List!

Musicianship

China has a rich variety of unique [musical instruments], though mastery of them is that a Xia will normally pursue. Those that do, of course, follow the principle of kung fu to ensure that they are true masters of music, and virtuosos within the field. No Xia is ever mediocre!

Xia trained in music will find that they can entertain peasants and emperors alike, and thus are welcome everywhere for their skills. They will also find peace and chi balance within their music, and often their musical wisdom leads them to cultivate their Inner Masteries. There is even a rare semi-magical wushu fighting art centred around music - specifically the [Guqin], whose practitioners can cut enemies in half with nothing but soundwaves!

Great Chi Power and Martial Arts aside, music has its own value. When so many Xia are forces of destruction and disruption in the Middle Kingdom, who can fail to appreciate one who brings harmonious and peaceful music into the realm?
