Storm warriors believe that nature uses storms to combat its enemies. Most are nature oriented and strive to be the living embodiment of nature’s fury. Calling themselves furies, they try to capture the power of storms in the fighting techniques and special abilities. While they admire and will gladly cooperate with dervishes, they are far more unpredictable and embody the wildness of storms. Their hair is unkempt, their nails uncut, and there is an occasional pop and spark of the electricity they so admire. In order for one to join the ranks of the furies they be struck by lightning and survive the experience. Getting struck by lightning can be fatal, a strike by lighting does 6d10 damage. If the total damage surpasses the combined fatigue and endurance the initiate is killed. He may be resurrected, but may not become a storm warrior because his death is seen as a rejection by the storm. Furies must follow the certain strictures in living the life of a storm warrior. They must sleep only outdoors. Storm warriors must wear metallic armor, metal is seen as sacred since it is conductive of electricity. Storm warriors never cut their hair or beards and let their nails grow long. Storm warriors must possess at least 8 MA in order to channel the power of the storm that is part of their advanced abilities.
