Smoke Shintai

Smoke Shintai is a Discipline that allows the Kuei-jin to manipulate smoke to cause a variety of effects.

Overview

The Kuei-jin use the powers of this Shintai to misdirect, conceal, and obfuscate. A skilled practitioner of Smoke Shintai can use even the tiniest amount of smoke to conceal himself, and can tell lies so convincing that even the most jaded cynic believes him. At higher levels of power, Smoke Shintai provides some control over actual fire.
