<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">You are familiar with the various fighting styles, shugenja schools and courtier techniques of the Empire, and can possibly identify weaknesses in your opponent. In mechanical terms, you may identify what School a target has trained in, what Rank he possesses, and any possible Paths or Advanced Schools he knows.

Naturally, someone in the Empire must have at some point encountered the technique in question and survived to tell about it.

So a roll of 16 would allow you to identify a practitioner of the Kakita bushi school and basic knowledge of his Rank 1 technique (along the lines of “he’s really fast and wields his sword as if in a duel, yet still cutting down his foes easily.”)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">If a target has more than one Basic School and or Paths/Advanced Schools, you make a separate roll to identify each. Paths have only a TN of 20 to recognize, but use their effective Technique Rank to determine the TN for gaining any bonuses. E.g. the Order of Chikai has a Technique rank of 6, so the TN would be 20 to recognize the technique, but TN 50 to gain any bonuses against it.

For each Raise you make on this roll, you may do this an additional time per round. You may not stack this bonus with itself on the same roll.
