Bone Shintai is one of the Shintai Discipline of the Kuei-Jin. Its tainted form is called Decay Shintai.

Overview[]

Practitioners of the Bone Shintai commonly congregate in small wu of like-minded Kuei-jin, often honing their arts in sites of strong Yin, such as burial grounds. Although not all practitioners are ch'ing shih, most grow heavily imbalanced to Yin over time. Certainly, Bone students are among the most frightening Kuei-jin to meet in combat.

Chi Attunement: Stamina.

Included below are the official powers described in the Kindred of the East Rulebook and the Kindred of the East Companion. Sources are described below in the order they were printed.
