Former Mantis families retain their family and School benefits and techniques, just as members of their respective Minor Clans.
Spider Schools:
Daigotsu Bushi School becomes Ryudo Bushi School. Ryudo samurai also get +1 Stamina
Changes:
Replace any technique that uses Taint Rank with Insight Rank. Starting Honor is 2.5. Replace Lore: Shadowlands with Lore: Shourido
Rank 1: Clause about detecting taint no longer applies.
Rank 4: Target two targets within Melee range, make an attack versus 1. Deal half damage to the second. This is a Complex Action. You may make raises to proclaim an additional target per raise, halving the damage again each time you apply damage to a new target.
*******
Susumu become the Shibatsu, still get +1 Awareness. Starting Honor is 2.5. Starting outfit and Rank 1 Technique are the same as they are in Imperial Archives page 96.
The Shibatsu have only developed 2 Techniques in their short existence.
Rank 2: After a few minutes conversation with another person, your overwhelming charm and friendly disposition could potentially win them over as an ally. You may spend a Void point to make a contested Etiquette (Courtesy)/Awareness Roll versus their Investigation/Willpower. If you succeed, you gain that person as an Ally with 1 point in Devotion for a number of days equal to your School Rank.
*******
Gyushi Family: +1 Agility
Gyushi Shugenja School: +1 Intelligence
Honor: 2.5
Skills: Calligraphy, Spellcraft, Lore: Shourido, Defense, Medicine, Any Two Craft Skills
Affinity/Deficiency: Fire/Air
Technique: Forged in Fire
You may spend a Fire or Earth spell slot to gain a free Raise on any Craft skill roll. You may also spend all of your Void Points before a Craft: Weaponsmithing check to forge the weapon into a Gyushi Blade. These Void Points will not restore for one week. A Gyushi Blade is of Fine Quality and is tinted a blue color that denotes its make. Gyushi Blades confer either a +1k0 to attack or damage rolls, at the shugenja's choice.
*******
Order of the Claw: Same attribute bonuses as their Spider counterparts. Same starting skills, outfit and honor, and techniques.
Spider Schools:
