As a bonus action the you may enter a tamashi and body fusion state known as Zen. While in this Zen state you gain the following benefits: Advantage on Strength checks and saving throws When you make an attack that uses your Strength modifier you gain bonus damage to that attack that increases as you level. (See Zen Damage on class table.)

Zen state will automatically end if you have not attacked or taken damage by the end of your next turn.

Should you so choose, all your attacks made against a single target this turn count as one attack for use in determining if massive damage takes effect. Massive Damage is an optional rule making it easier for a creature to be felled by taking massive damage. When a creature takes damage from a single source equal to or greater than half its hit point maximum, it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or suffer a random effect determined by a roll on the System Shock table.

If an attack would reduce you to 0 hit points you can instead be reduced to 1 hit point. You can use this feature once per long rest. Also add your Constitution modifier to your death saving throw rolls. The amount of time you spend unconscious from being reduced to 0 hit points is reduced by half.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • Maqueta Def. Nueva
    L ARTE INTEGRADO EN LA BATALLA. ESTUDIO TECNOLÓGICO PREVIO A LA RESTAURACIÓN E DE CINCO ARMADURAS JAPONESAS DEL MUSEO DEL EJÉRCITO DE TOLEDO MARTA PLAZA BELTRÁN // JORGE RIVAS LÓPEZ1 Departamento de Pintura-Restauración. Universidad Complutense de Madrid Abstract: Throughout the eighteenth century the Chinoiserie style spread among the European courts. Based on Chinese and Japanese models, it was reflected both in painting and in architecture, as well as in decorative and textile arts. During this period many oriental items were imported from the Far East in order to decorate palaces and mansions. This was a determining factor for the increment of exotic art collecting, like Japanese lacquerware and Chinese porcelain. Samurai armours represent an exceptional example, which are veritable masterpieces made with remarkable complexity and using a great variety of materials. The main purpose of this article is to show the results prior to the intervention on the restoration of the collection of Japanese ar- mours belonging to the Army Museum in Toledo, Spain. In this way, a formal and symbolic analysis of the different elements involved in these sets will be exposed, as well as the most applied artistic technique to de- corate them: the Japanese lacquer. Key words: armour / samurai / artistic techniques / lacquer. Resumen: A lo largo del siglo XVIII la moda Chinoiserie se difundió entre las cortes europeas. Basada en mo- delos chinos y japoneses, la veremos reflejada tanto en la pintura como en la arquitectura, las artes decorativas o el arte textil. Durante este periodo se importaron numerosos objetos de Extremo Oriente con destino a los palacios y casas señoriales, factor determinante en el auge del coleccionismo de piezas de arte exótico, como las lacas japonesas y la porcelana china.

  • I May Not Use the Japanese Terms for Everything in This Document, Or Spell Them the Way You Think They May Be Spelled
    Please note: I may not use the Japanese terms for everything in this document, or spell them the way you think they may be spelled. Deal. Different sources happen. Sources will appear at the end of this document. Oh, and I hereby give permission for AEG and any forum moderators acting as representatives thereof to post this (unmodified and in its entirety, except as directed by me) as a reference document anywhere they need to do so, if they feel so inclined. SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION AND ARMOR Armor exists in a constant state of flux, always attempting to protect the wearer against an ever-more lethal variety of battlefield threats. There are many reasons NOT to wear armor. It’s expensive. It’s high-maintenance. It is hot and smelly (sometimes to the point of causing heatstroke). It restricts your mobility. It dulls your senses and slows your reflexes. It’s never perfect, 100% protection. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that if armor did not perform some valid battlefield function, people would not have worn it. People aren’t stupid. We may be more educated today, but people have a long history of seeing a problem, and then devoting all of their time and technological progress to that point in history finding a way to SOLVE that problem. Again, it stands to reason that, especially in a culture like that of Japan, where weaponry and armor simply did not evolve after reaching a certain level of technological development, there must be a rough balance between weaponry and protection. If armor was useless against battlefield weaponry, it would not have been worn.

    Budo Q&A 2021 March/April/May/June By Louis Vitalis Introduction • Budo is more than techniques training; • Shape your character, knowledge, position within (budo)society • A pandemic shouldn’t stop us from training those other aspects • So let’s ask our highest grade European sensei! Louis Vitalis sensei – kyoshi 7th dan kendo, -- kyoshi 7th dan jodo, -- kyoshi 7th dan iaido Guidelines for the Q&A • MUTE! So we can all enjoy Vitalis sensei’s talk • Questions: • Put them in the Google Form so we add them to the list for Vitalis sensei • Slides will be shared after the meeting, please handle with care Enjoy, learn, train! KATEI ENMAN 家庭円満 • Katei = Household, Ones home • Enman = Peaceful • Although this is not specific Budo terminology, it’s the first concept that my Kendo teacher Edo Kokichi taught me in 1979, during my second visit to Japan. • Wether your target in Budo is winning gold medals or obtaining higher dan grades, you will not be successful unless your home situation is stable. Additional stress will make it more difficult to focus on Budo. GEI NI ASOBU 藝於游 Kodokan building in Mito City, Ibaraki Ken GEI NI ASOBU 藝於游 • Gei = Art (as in Martial Art) • Asobu = Enjoy • The Kodokan was a kind of General University, where Samurai of the Region received Education in both Martial Arts and other arts and sciences. This saying was favoured by the 9th Daimyo of the Mito Han, Tokugawa Nariaki (1800-1860). • By this time, Martial Arts were no longer needed to kill an enemy, but it was already shifting from Jutsu to Do as we now know it.
