Editing Campaign:Betrayal of the Light/Five-Pointed-Eye (section)

=== Manses and Hearthstones ===


''Gemstone of the White Jade Tree'' '''(Manse 3):''' This blue-violet cabochon glows with a pale inner light. This stone hardens the bearer’s skin; any damage the character suffers after soak is cut in half (rounding all fractions upward). This same hardness reduces the possessor’s movement speed by half, rounding all fractions down. This penalty applies to all forms of movement, but can be cancelled by removing the stone from its setting. Doing this also instantly cancels the stone’s beneficial effects.<br/>

''The Freedom Stone'' '''(Manse 3):''' This stone is a murky blue-black, full of shifting colors. A character who bears this hearthstone can never be physically restrained, only confined. All grapple, clinch, hold and throw maneuvers against her automatically fail. <br/>

''Windhands Gemstones'' '''(Manse 3):''' This hearthstone is perfectly clear -- so clear it becomes invisible in water. Against ranged attacks, the bearer may apply his DV (parry or dodge) without defense penalties or onslaught penalties and can parry lethal attacks unarmed. <br/>

''Gem of Adamant Skin'' '''(Manse 4):''' This hearthstone is a glittering, flawless black ovoid. Lethal damage done to the character is automatically converted to bashing, before soak is applied.<br/>
