A hit roll must be made, using the combat table for samurai of the same level as the wu jen. A successful hit causes 2d8 points of damage from the flames and the sharp edges. Creatures resistant to fire only suffer 1d4 points of damage. Upon striking the target (or any other solid object on a missed throw), the fire shuriken disappears in a burst of multi-colored smoke. This smoke is particularly thick, temporarily obscuring the vision of the target and causing him to suffer a -2 on his next attack. The wu jen can cast one fire shuriken for every 6 levels he possesses (1 at levels 1-6, 2 at levels 7-12, 3 at level 13-18). The material component for this spell is a tiny shuriken coated with pine sap and sulfur. |

Smoky Form | | (Alteration) | | Oriental Adventures - Page:80 | |
| Level: | 2 |
| Components: | V, S, M |
| Range: | Touch |
| Casting Time: | 1 round |
| Duration: | 1 turn/level |
| Saving Throw: | None |
| Area of Effect: | Creature touched |
|
| Explanation/Description: Explanation/Description: This spell changes the wu jen and all he carries or any creature touched by him into a cloudy mass of smoke. Unwilling creatures are allowed a saving throw vs. spell to avoid the effect. The mass has roughly the same shape and appearance of the original creature, but possesses the insubstantial properties of smoke. While in this form, the wu jen cannot be hurt by weapons of +2 or less and can easily disappear into a mass of smoke or fog. Spells cannot be cast while in smoky form, nor can the character take part in combat. The spell does not alter the dimensions of the character and cannot be used to slip through cracks or other small openings. It does, however give the creature the weight properties of smoke. Thus, a wu jen in smoky form could step off the top of a castle wall and gently drift to the ground below without suffering any damage. While in smoky form, the creature is particularly susceptible to winds. Light breezes push the smoky form about while strong breezes can easily sweep him away. A gust of wind spell causes 2d16 points of damage to the character. Wind breath causes twice the normal amount of damage to a creature in smoky form and a divine wind destroys him utterly. The material component for this spell is a stick burning incense. |
