This is essentially a player's guide for KoE. It has 4 more dharmas to follow if you didn't like any of the 5 in the KoE book. It also has about 9 extra disciplines for kuei-jin to use. In addition to that it lists disciplines to the 9th level. So, if you are the only kuei-jin in your group or all of the others play with power characters, you can survive. Also, it gives information on dhampyrs and yulan-jin. There is a lot of valuable background information, too. There aren't many questions left after reading this book.

I would not call this book a must have for role players, but as a storyteller particularly interested in crossover it provides most useful tools. Here are included extra disciplines for the Kuei-Jin toghether with a better explanation of what happens with those who do not belong tho Kuei-Jin society per se. Namely the akumas (as called by other Kuei-Jin). If you are a storyteller and you're thinking of getting Kuei-Jin into your chronicles, then this book would be of great assistance, though not essential.

finally, the many questions left unanswered in KoE have been answered in this supplement. yet, many more questions surface. this supplement adds a whole new depth to playing kindred and allows for a greater diversity in gameplay.
