Full Version: Hmong shamanic tradition

I was inspired by the Pharaonic tradition thread to post what I've been using as the Hmong shamanic tradition for my Hmong-influenced Minneapolis-St. Paul homebrew setting. Feel free to take a look. It's a couple pages of lore and details on top of the actual selections.

Those selections, for those who want to skip to the crunch:

Materialization
Will+Cha
Combat: Guardian
Detection: Air
Health: Guidance
Illusion: Beast
Manipulation: Task

Forgot bibliography. Fuck it, I'll add it in the morning to the thread.

Just make sure no one scares the Hmong, otherwise that person has to catch the scared person's soul. wink.gif

Looks well thought out and I'm glad to see its similarities to the Shamanic tradition.
