The Carmanian Lion Warriors said Humakt killed him, at the command of the Creator. But this, of course, means only that he Died, and that his death was Necessary. It's rather a Mithraic cult up there: the best and noblest Beast must die, but part of his essence is claimed by the slayer (the new initiate) and lives on in him.

I thought at one time they could be used as generic RQ "Mastery" rules; anyone with 90%+ skill and access to the right tuition (usually through cults) could develop one. Because the LoN rules are, as you say, so good! Of course, going rules-lite tends to scupper things like this (which end up factored into more general Critical chances, etc.).

Not for Sheng, I agree. I'm sure there are plenty of Lunar philosophers who would like to change the world this way...
