result is 11, A can adjust their result by -3 to adjust B’s result by +3.
AVOIDING
When the PCs choose to ignore a Netherworld Event and proceed
to the next Area, it’s called ”avoiding”. When the PCs avoid, they
immediately proceed to Step 6 (discover pathways). For example,
if the Netherworld event is a combat and the PCs avoid it, they
skip that Event and move on to discovering pathways. However,
the GM or the scenario may designate Netherworld Events where
avoiding them is not an option.

• Alter their stats as described in the next column. Initiative value can be freely decided by players each round.
HP
When a Divine Contract Beast’s HP reaches 0 or lower, they die im-
mediately (therefore, Amrita or Talents cannot negate their death).
Timings
When a Divine Contract Beast appears in a combat zone, they can
spend Timings as normal (see core book p168, Timing Details).
They can immediately spend a Start Timing upon appearing. A
Divine Contract Beast has only one Attack Timing, which cannot
be modified by Talents.
Effects that provide +X to rank allow Divine Contract Beasts to

add X additional dice for damage rolls instead of a rank increase.
For effects of the form “Damage of rank X or lower is nullified/
halved”, the number of damage dice it rolled is used in place of X.
Materials and XP
Divine Contract Beasts have no Materials and provide no XP, and
defeating them doesn’t replenish Crest.
Using Spirit Burn

The Contract Summoner can consume Crest to apply the Tran-
scend effect of Spirit Burn to their Divine Contract Beast. Divine
Contract Beast with Transcend applied treats the result of their
check as their Fixed Stat value plus the combined value rolled on
the added dice. PCs cannot influence these dice.

Those who bear Shards from the riding Regalia of the gods—divine steeds, spiritual beasts, golden ships, reins, chariots, and
more—are known as the Sealers of Contracts (commonly called Contractors). Contractors form contracts with high-level
Mononoke, sentient machines, and other such beings. They can then ride them, call upon their aid in battle, and summon them
for a fragment of the Contractors’ souls. By directing Contract Beasts and Divine Contract Beasts (this book p11), they can
perform all manner of violence, gain protection, and share spirit energy. They are incredibly skilled riders and drivers, or powerful
summoners who can command dragons, youkai, and guardian spirits.

Contractors of this type use spirit energy to strengthen and control Divine Contract Beasts. There are no restrictions on

Description
Those who bear Shards from the ceremonial Regalia of the gods—garments, staves, musical instruments, and jewelry—are called
the Singers of the Holy Words, (commonly termed Divine Speakers). Those who earn the title of Divine Speaker use their Shards
to imbue words with power, and they possess techniques that manifest spirit energy by reciting mantras, performing mudras, or
singing songs. Their techniques are close to those of the first gods of Creation, and are supremely powerful. They include esoteric
monks with enlightened utterances, saints who perform sacraments, and mystical poets and songstresses who weave magical verses.
Type Beta
Divine Speakers of this type use the power of song to raise magical defenses and boost their strength.

Section 3
Master Section
This section includes advice on handouts and scenario hooks for Heroic Souls and Divine Spirits, and
guidance on Netherworld Offensive scenarios. Once you’ve read through this section, we encourage
you to craft your own Heroic Soul scenarios, Divine Spirit scenarios, and Netherworld Offensives.
Special Scenario Hooks
Ghostly Heroic Souls and Divine Spirits—who could be considered gods or yōkai—are beings far removed from humanity. Therefore,
scenario hooks for characters with these Ancestries may be quite different from hooks for other characters. When writing scenarios
and handouts that involve Heroic Souls and Divine Spirits, you can start with the following examples as inspiration.
Examples for Heroic Souls Examples for Divine Spirits
As protectors of the world, Heroic Souls are often summoned As gods of the land, guardian deities, or youkai on friendly terms

There is a single shared ending for the whole party. Incident, and the PCs’ various organizations collaborate, sending
in their best God Hunters—the PCs—to cooperate on a Nether-
world Offensive.
PCS’ MUTUAL INTEREST

To strengthen their Regalia, a group of already acquainted PCs
team up to seek out Netherworld Offensives. The requester might
be a former god of the land whose Netherworld was seized by
an Aramitama, or a colleague who has tracked down the lair of
an evil Mononoke.
Number of Areas
When creating a Netherworld scenario, decide in advance how

many Areas the Netherworld Map includes. As a rule of thumb,
most should be six to eight Areas. We recommend when you’re
creating your first Netherworld Offensives to limit yourself to six
Areas. Each map always includes an Incursion Area, an Escape
Area, and a Final Area.

DESCRIPTION
Some time has passed. Near the old standing stone, there’s a new-
ly-built apartment building and a small temple. The landlord was
familiar with the history of Hisano Shrine, and built the temple to
honor the gods of the land. When you visit the temple, you see a small
girl sitting on a bench nearby, stuffing her face with candy offerings.
Kaya: “Ehehe… Want half?”

Kaya: “The people in the building bring me all kinds of offerings!”
Kaya: “Oh, that’s right, [PC 1]! I made some new friends!
Ibuki on the 4th floor, and Ryu on the 6th floor!”
Kaya: “...But you’ll always be my best friend, [PC 1], ok?”
Kaya: “Hey, [PC 1]... Let’s keep on being friends, forever and
ever and ever!”
The session ends after PC 1 reacts to Kaya.

Designer’s Notes
This is the author, Rikizou. Thank you as always for your support! It’s thanks to all of you that we can publish
Requiem of a Divinity, and we’re truly grateful to everyone for cheering us on. We hope that you’ll continue
playing and enjoying Kamigakari going forward!
In this expansion, we introduce new rules for Netherworld Offensives. These allow GMs to create their own
scenarios extremely easily; although obviously, that wasn’t our only goal in introducing them. Netherworlds are
extradimensional spaces created by Mononoke to serve as dwellings. In these spaces, our ordinary common
sense doesn’t apply. They’re bizarre, otherworldly realms, which can sometimes trigger Supernatural Incidents.
A sudden, mysterious disappearance; a cursed, haunted hour that arrives each night; an urban legend about
a movie that sucks in viewers; a nightmare realm created by an evil witch. The Netherworld Offensive rules
provide a simple template for creating all kinds of mystical labyrinths that lurk in the shadows of our modern
world. These scenarios allow anyone to enjoy a more traditional hack-and-slash “dungeon crawl” style of play
within Kamigakari. If you’re intimidated by the difficulty of creating a standard scenario, if you want to throw
your players into lots of battles and let them rack up materials, or if you’re just short on prep time, we encourage
you to try out GMing using these Netherworld Offensive rules. We recommend play groups rotate through
and give everyone a turn as GM when possible.
Thank you all for playing Kamigakari!
Shared Rules
Whether to use custom rules tweaks introduced in any Dice Control System TTRPG books is up to individual
GMs’ discretion. At a bare minimum, we encourage GMs to make sure that all players have copies of the rules
and understand the rules fully. Specific rules judgments and edge cases are always up to the GM. If it seems
like custom rules will make the game too complicated, or be difficult to adjudicate, we advise avoiding them.
