Yoritomo Emissaries

The Yoritomo as a whole are not known for their patience, but they have found that it is occasionally a useful virtue in the courts. Beginning with the era of White Stag, the Emissaries emerged as the exception to the Mantis Clan’s general diplomatic habits. They are welltrained court functionaries, schooled to handle hostile negotiations with calm patience, displaying much greater subtlety than “normal” Yoritomo courtiers.

 * Requirements: Etiquette (Courtesy) 4

Technique: Intrepid Negotiator
Where the standard Yoritomo training focuses on browbeating foes, the Emissary learns to leaven this aggression with the calm patience of the Earth, outlasting opponents’ anger and thus finding peaceful solutions to potentially violent confrontations. When making an Etiquette or Sincerity roll, you may spend a Void Point to add your Willpower in unkept dice to the roll. If the roll is specifically using Etiquette (Courtesy), you add your Willpower in kept dice instead.
