I liked the results and turn out from the other "can I do this RAW" thread, as I get to see how a lot of people's interpretation of the fluff text I wrote.
As such, I've decided to do this with another Martial Scholars organization that I've been working on in my short Wuxia campaign.
The Nine Veins
The human body is like an intricate plumbing system. Each vessel is a crucial path in which the very essence of our life force travels. People have called this different things in the past: the "chi", the "chakra", the "soul", what have you.
Some believe that there are a total of 9 main vessels that are key to the channeling of this energy. Each one of these veins are called a "Mai", and each one carries the key to greatly enhancing the human performance beyond it's normal limitations. The training of these "Mai"s, is known as the art of the Nine Veins.
To this exclusive group, a powerful internal Chi doesn't just means you have a lot of it, but also that you can use it efficiently. Within the single flick of the wrist, the master of the Nine Veins can move mountains. With a single twist and step, he can harmlessly push an oncoming bull aside, deflect it's attack. But when pressed, the master of the Nine Veins can also release the power that is within him, and become a true force of nature. Some have witnessed a master at his peak send out a wave of energy from his palms that could bring down a building, some have even seen a master of such dispatch a dozen foes with a single punch.
This, is the power of the Nine Veins.
More to come...
