Chapter 1 - Non-weapon Proficiencies
Noh Non-weapon Proficiency
(for Oriental area only)
Noh is a type of drama performed in some lands of Kara-Tur. It combines speech, singing, and dance in a single performance. There are a great number of noh plays, mostly dealing with historical subjects. These plays are very exacting and stylized. Each move and word is meant to be done in a specific way, each costume represents a specific person, etc. Mastering the art of noh requires the character to learn the parts, movements, and rituals associated with the. drama, to perform them correctly, demonstrate grace and beauty, and provide an individual interpretation of the play within the restrictions of the form. Noh masters are highly prized, often being requested to perform for important nobles.
