[QUOTE="nameless, post: 726247, member: 1543"] I agree with most of the opinions here, with one caveat. For an campaign with a relatively focused goal, certain characters become more necessary, and other become pretty useless. In your case, the game seems pretty focused on the hunt, and probably a little fighting. A courtier wouldn't be able to do much in this case. In a more "balanced" Rokugan campaign, the courtier can serve an invaluable function in giving the group access to restricted locations and people, but in a game where the social rules are right out the window, the characters who make a living off those rules go right out the window also. So my point is, they should have some history so they can fit into the world, but give the [i]players[/i] a nugget of metagame knowledge so they can make characters who mesh together and who are appropriate to the planned adventure path.
