System: The vampire spends a Willpower point and rolls Stamina + Meditation ( difficulty 8 ). She may attune herself to Yin or Yang and become a conductor for positive or negative energy. Shift the Balance With this power, a vampire may regulate the levels of Chi in her own body.A Kindred adjusted to Balance finds it easier to resist Frenzy (-1 to difficulty) for the remainder of the night. Most normal ailments and infections are cured (though truly debilitating sicknesses such as cancer and AIDS are beyond the scope of this power) this powerвЂ™s effects last for one month, during which all difficulties of any rolls to resist disease of Derangments are reduced by one. A mortal restored to a state of Balance enjoys greatly improved physical and mental health. Difficulties of all Willpower rolls increase by one, and a Kindred suffers a +1 difficulty to resist Rotschreck. For the remainder of the night, the victim is overwhelmed by negative, possibly even suicidal, thoughts. A mortal or Kindred attuned to Yin becomes lethargic and melancholy. A Kindred suffers a +1 difficulty to resist frenzy. For the remainder of the night, the victim spends Willpower on nearly any task attempted.

A mortal or Kindred attuned to Yang becomes feverish and manic. Success balances or imbalances the target in the direction desired. He then rolls Perception + Empathy (difficulty of the targetвЂ™s Willpower). The vampire decides whether he wants to attune the target to Yin, to Yang or to Balance. This power may also be used on mortals and Kindred to adjust their internal chemistry. This power can also be used to heal Kuei-jin who are in an imbalanced state. In this manner, the vampire may render Kuei-jin foes imbalanced or (at least) incapable of accessing certain Disciplines. For each success, one point of temporary Chi may be converted to its opposite.

System: The vampire touches the victim, then rolls Perception + Medicine ( difficulty 8 ). A target may be overwhelmed with Yin or Yang, or an imbalanced being may be restored to health.

Adjust Balance By touching a victim, the vampire may adjust the Chi levels in that victim's body.

This power enables the vampire to ignore that restriction, and spend as much Chi as her Dharma score allows. Normally, a Cathayan may spend only Yin or Yang in the same turn. For each success, one Chi point may be converted to its opposite. System: The vampire spends three turns in contemplation, spends a Willpower point and rolls Intelligence + Meditation ( difficulty 8 ).

Master Flow Vampires with Equilibrium quickly master the basic processes of regulating Chi flows in their bodies.

Most abilities require a touch, and this Discipline may not affect ghosts and spirits unless the vampire has other Disciplines enabling her to touch such beings. Masters of Equilibrium commonly concern themselves with maintaining proper Chi balance in their system conversely, though, Equilibrium can be used to create grotesque Chi imbalance in individuals who displease the user.

History of the courts and development of Kuei-jin society.

Heretical Dharmas, unusual Asian undead, and hidden Disciplines.

The Kindred of the East Companion includes:

Here are the lost legacies of the arhats, the writings that defy Xue, and the creatures just beyond the shroud of Asia's grand and corrupt courts. The Kindred of the East Companion journeys into the lairs of the mandarins and the temples of their enemies, exploring the underground beliefs and bizarre powers that even the Kuei-jin fear. The Shadowy subcultures of the unliving play their parts, too, and their secret powers and beliefs rival the wisdom of the ancestors. The Kuie-jin claim an orderly society of tradition and history, but they turn their faces from the strangers within their own lands. In the jungles of Malaysia, in the cluttered streets of India, in the mystic ruins of China, they hunt.
