Kitsuki Magistrate School: Kitsuki Magistrates

At this Rank, the magistrate has learned how to focus his perceptions to such a degree that he can notice even the most minute details. The magistrate may spend as many Void Points as he has available when he makes an Awareness or Perception roll.

This character has gained an advanced understanding of Kitsuki's method. When making any Awareness or Perception roll, he gains a number of Free Raises equal to his School Rank.

At this Rank, the magistrate's duties have become effortless, almost second nature. When using Heraldry, Nazodo, Law, and History, the magistrate does not need to roll to succeed. He gains no raises from using this effect. If he wants to Raise, he must still roll.

At this Rank, the magistrate has gained an intuitive understanding of the ways and methods of the Clans of Rokugan. If he faces a samurai who uses a School Technique he has seen, the samurai must spend a Void Point (or an additional Void Point) in order to use it.

When a Kitsuki magistrate reaches this level of skill, not even a Scorpion has a chance of fooling him. Whenever a character tries to lie to a magistrate, compare their respective Awareness Traits. A character with a lower Awareness cannot even bring himself to lie; he is overwhelmed by the chi of the magistrate. A character whose Awareness is equal to or greater than the magistrate's may lie to him, but the magistrate automatically knows that the character is not telling the truth.
