A Fortune is the elemental affinity of each Kwannon-jin. It is also an action performed or event in place that makes using Wu Tan easier.

Overview[]

Each Kwannon-jin of the Hsien, the Eastern "Changelings," is associated with an elemental affinity based on the 5 elements of Asian lore. This affinity effects a character's starting Yin and Yang Chi scores as well as their initial Wu Tan learned.

Elements[]

Yin & Yang Chi[]

  • Earth - Yin 4, Yang 4
  • Fire - Yin 2, Yang 6
  • Metal - Yin 5, Yang 3
  • Water - Yin 6, Yang 2
  • Wood - Yin 3, Yang 5

Wu Tan[]

N.B.: No Kwannon-jin starts with an affinity for Nei Tan (Internal Alchemy).

Wu Tan Fortunes[]

There are many ways to add Fortunes to a Magic Roll. See the page Wu Tan for more depth.
