Fukurokujin's Eyes

The Order of Fukurokujin’s Eyes is an order unlike any other among the myriad sects that exist within the Brotherhood of Shinsei. It is a hereditary order, comprised almost exclusively of a small number of bloodlines found only within its ranks. Parents bring their children into the fold at a young age and propagate the order’s philosophies through the generations without any need for external recruitment. The Order is descended from a pre-Kami tribe that chose to remain apart from outsiders, only becoming part of a greater community when facing the option to join with Hida or to be forced from their lands in the face of Crab Clan settlement. Hida was content to make the proper arrangements in order to benefit from the unique gifts the tribe offered, namely assessment and prediction so accurate that it bordered on the preternatural.

By observing and anticipating, monks of Fukurokujin’s Eyes can accurately predict the actions of others and take advantage of this foreknowledge in a variety of ways. You may not be surprised by ambushes. Further, at the start of a skirmish prior to rolling Initiative, you may spend a Void Point and make a Perception Trait Roll at TN 20. If the roll succeeds, you may increase your subsequent Initiative Score by 20. However, this bonus is lost instantly if you make an attack of any kind.
