- This is a work in progress.
The miko is a virgin shaman whose power comes from living at the border between adult and child. Mikos come into their power naturally and at an early age, without training.
Class Features
The miko has all the standard shaman’s class features, except as noted below.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
A miko is proficient with the composite long bow, dagger (tanto), short sword (wakizashi), scimitar, and glaive (naginata). She is not proficient in any armor or shields.
Virginity
Only adolescent women can become mikos, and mikos start play in the youngest age bracket for her race. A miko gains her power as a virgin, but need not abstain from sex once she has become a miko. If she ever becomes pregnant she stops being a miko and becomes a regular shaman and must pick a normal taboo. This ability replaces shaman taboos.
