Dojo
Navigation: | Main Page → Civilized Areas → Facilities → Dojo |
A dojo is an establishment devoted to the teaching and practice of traditional martial arts, including combat with melee weapons. The term is derived from a Youkai-go word, doujou (Youkai-go: 道場), which transliterates to "place of teachings". Dojos are managed by an appointed martial artist, sometimes referred to as the dojo master. The resident martial artist is usually (but not always) the town's most skilled melee combat specialist.
Dojos also function as rental shops, providing melee weapons for the purpose of training melee combat skills.

Training floor
You may use the training floor in one of two modes: Weapon practice and Combat training.
Weapon practice
In this mode, you enter Combat mode against an infinite-health human-shaped wooden dummy. You may "fight" the target in turn-based mode, giving you a chance to learn the basics, learn how a new weapon works, or find out the damage and accuracy of your weapons. You may ask the GM to give you readouts based on the Pain Sensitivity and Armor Class of your choice.
Combat training
In this mode, you can spend time periods and ammunition to increase your Training Points with a combat skill. The process is abstracted, and weapons do not lose Condition in the process.
To perform combat training, go through this procedure:
- Select a weapon (it can be a rental weapon)
- Select a compatible skill to train with less than 250 Training Points
- Select a number of strikes to practice, up to 500 strikes.
- If your weapon requires ammunition, select an amount of ammunition to dedicate towards training, up to 500 rounds.
- After selecting the number of strikes or shots, roll a 1d100 for each strike or shot fired.
- Count a success for every roll equal or superior to 65.
- Divide the number of successes by 5, round down. The result is the amount of Training Points you have earned for the selected skill.
- The following effects apply:
Tips for Game Masters |
You can use the inequality operators built into SnakeEyes to simplify the process. Use this command: /rrt x 1d100>=65, where x is the number of strikes.
The bot will return a certain number of Trues and Falses. Count the number of Trues to obtain the number of successes. |
Weapon rental
The rental shop's primary purpose is to offer various rental weapons. Rent a melee weapon if you don't have one of your own to learn or practice melee combat skills with.
Weapon rental shops work similarly to forges or weapon shops, except weapons must be returned to the shop once customers are done practicing. Ammunition can only be purchased for use on the training floor. Any unfired ammunition must be returned to the shop.
The dojo rental shop offers the following:

Training machines
One room of the dojo features a series of special training machines. Their purpose is to allow a character to gradually increase specific primary statistics, improving their natural capabilities.
Using a training machine requires spending 1 time period. Significant amounts of effort are deployed to use them, which may decrease nutrition, hydration, increase Fatigue, and even cause Pain. In return, you gain training machine XP.
Every time you reach a specific threshold of XP, you gain the listed bonuses, up to the listed limits. For example, if you reach 780 XP with the electric workout machine, you've hit the threshold 3 times (250 x 3 = 750), therefore your Natural Pain Sensitivity is reduced by 3%.
Machine | Costs per use | XP gained per use | Bonus gained every | Bonus effect | Maximums |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Electric workout machine | +40% Pain +50% Fatigue -4d300 ntri -4d200 wtr |
+4d25 | 250 XP | Natural Pain Sensitivity -1% | Cannot gain more XP if Natural PS is 25% or less |

GMs should disallow training if it would cause the character to work themselves out to the point of passing out or dying.
