| FIVE THINGS SOHEIS MIGHT WANT TO DO BUT CAN'T
1. pop hair styling
despite what tam's avows, and he's avowed alot, soheis are simply an ancient caste of hindo-european hairdressers that were displaced during the incursions of the mongols during the tenth century. give them back their birthright.
> cast 'coif' welmar
King Welmar sports a new hair-do, a vast improvement on his ubiquitous Imperial Mullet.
2. make tea
given an odd assortment of items, a rope, black guyvel herbs, thiamin herbs and a dusty rose stone, allow the sohei to brew a startling darjeeling or an orange pekoe.
3. tree limb limbo
anywhere there's a tree, there's a personal dance floor built for a sohei! someone making fun of your ancestor's shrine? tired of the thick smoke trailing from your censer? jump into the sky and do the limb limbo dance and kick some zen butt while you're at it!
> cast 'limbo' [self]
You float into the canopy.
4. access to the coolest of asian mysteries
what self-respecting asian monk is not familiar with the readings of the I Ching? come on, wake up and smell the orange pekoe tea! the wonders of the I Ching allow the practioner a wide assortment of incantations that help promote a more harmonious chi.
> copy "I Ching" [target]
You have fashioned an ancient scroll of egg boiling.
5. build a monastery
if you've got a few centuries on your hands, what do you do? build a shrine? no! build a wall? no! build a monastery in a fifteen thousand foot pass? woot! you guessed it! the command requires a 10 day uptime and several pals willing to stay by your side feeding you waybreads as your toil to complete one of your sect's finest structures, replete with golden entry lions and cast-iron fire pots!
> build monastery
This may take awhile. One moment please...
