Zombie

Rokugani funerary rites involve cremation, and for good reason. Despite the costs it entails, this is afforded even to the lowliest members of society—for in Rokugan, the dead do not sleep soundly, and ancient stories tell of the days when cults of mahō-tsukai wandered the land backed by vast armies of the hungering dead.
Worse still are the well-trained and wll-armed samurai caste when turned undead. Little more than tattered flesh, bleached bones, and an undying hatred for all that is right and good in the world, a skeletal bushi is a terrifying opponent.

CLATTERING BONES

A skeletal bushi is an Otherworldly, Tainted being. Additionally, the first time it would be defeated each scene, it receives a Scar disadvantage of the GM’s choice instead as one of its limbs snaps or flies off.

DOES NOT BLEED

A skeletal bushi ignores conditions and critical strikes from non-Sacred sources
