    * Specifiek Chi-Shaping's 2 successes power
  * Also look at **Equilibrium** (//Kindred of the East, p101//)


==== Yin Yang Discipline ====
Rough sketch of Yin Yang Discipine, Mk2 (feels more like a fusion between Kuei-Jin and Kindred mythics):

  * Gives a Yin and Yang pool that is always (Rating × 2)
  * Each Level of the discipline has a yin and yang variant
    * Activating a yin/yang this power converts (Level) motes to yin/yang
    * These powers must have effects on the world, or at least be unspammable
  * Maintaining the balance is relevant, as powers can only be used if there are motes to be converted
  * Separate rituals/katas can be "learned"/discovered that also use yin/yang motes, these can be things like protective tattoos
    * Note that one can use a Yin 2 ritual based on a Rating 1 discipline by wilfully unbalancing oneself towards absolute Yin (converting all 2 motes to Yin), and then attempting the ritual

  * The unbalance of the Yin/Yang pool should have effects on the character, accessing the balance of the universe gives great power, but comes at a price
    * Greater unbalance should have greater effects, possibly a negative effect per Rating of the discipline? (i.e. you can go at most 2 out of balance on Rating 1, so you need to have a 2-out-of-balance effect, a 4-out-of-balance effect, and they stack)

  * "Learning" and discovering of rituals is not based on studying or methodological investigation, it is instead based on flashes of insight
    * -> //Investigate Kuei-Jin flashes of insight thing//

Elemental affiliations (See also [[wp>Yin and yang]]):
  * **Yin** (female): Earth, Water
  * **Yang** (male): Fire, Air

Affiliations:
  * **Yin**: Matter, Dark, Death, Attack
  * **Yang**: Energy, Light, Life, Defense


Inspirations:

  * Elemental energy redirection?
  * Short-range teleport, as a shade throught the spirit-world
  * Look at spirit-world interaction
  * Protective tattoos? (//see [[http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/items/psionicTattoos.htm|Psionic Tattoos]]//)
  * Maybe some rituals need you to control your breathing (which, obviously, first requires you to actually **be breathing**)

=== Maintaining Balance ===

The Imbalance of your pool is the difference between Yin and Yang amounts.

Being out of balance has an effect on your spiritual well-being. You are out of balance when your Chi Balance has at least (Rating + 2) of a single color:

  * When out of balance with Yin dominant, your Courage is temporarily reduced by 1,
  * When out of balance with Yang dominant, your Self Control is temporarily reduced by 1



=== Concrete power notes ===

//Multiple powers are noted here for later refinment. Notes are placed in emphasis.//

**Rating :1::** When taking a Soak roll, you can convert X Yang in your balance to Yin, gaining X additional dice on your soak roll. When taking a Damage roll, you can convert X Yin in your balance to yang, gaining X additional dice on your damage roll. //Limits can be placed where appropriate based on, e.g., discipline rating, generation based vitae limits, or simple constant.//

**Rating :2::** Once per the kindred can roll (Wits+Occult) against a difficult of (10 - Imbalance). Each success allows you to convert a mote towards a more balanced chi pool. Excess successes when balanced is achieved have no effect. A Botch means that you go out of balance even further: convert one minorty mote to the majority color, if you are fully out of balance you take 1 unsoakable health level of bashing damage.

**Rating :3:|:4:** Teleport, Yin or Yang conversion is based on the "direction" of the movement. The direction is either In or Out, depending on whether you enter or leave a building. Going from one room to another is In, and going from an outside location to an outside location is Out. //Distance, vitae cost, amount of motes variable? (Compare with Tremere powers?)//

**Rating ?**: Luck influencing: spend vitae and convert Chi to force the outcome of a chance action (flip a coin, draw a card, slot machine, hand of poker, roulette number, etc.).
