(IRR) The Rokugan IR Introduction (Thread 3)

[Xeriar]

Suggestions for clan bonuses:

Note to Creamsteak about Kolat Masters-Merchants of Rokugan has all the names (at least) of all 10 Kolat Masters, 1 of which I know is the Hidden Tiger which is the most reclusive of them all, and another seems to be the Ox Clan Daimyo (from what TFO says) Xeriar, would you mind typing up their names and a small description? (You're the only one I know who has the book lol), or anyone else who has it.

The only remaining original master is Korekado. The rest have been exterminated...

Isawa Korekado - the Magician, ancient during the Clan War, now leads the Cloud sect. Probably a good 150 to 200 years old. Shugenja rank 5 in the books already, though he has gotten older and more corrupted by the powers of the eye... At least Shugenja 15, maybe even 18, but he is no Henshin...

The Jade Sect is led by a now shadow-corrupt Yasuki Taka, of all people. He actually works to foil the overall plot of the Kolat. Things swing both ways I would imagine that if Taka found out about Daigotsu actually manipulating the Kolat, the entire organization would collapse. This man has actually constructed an anti-Kolat sect, and now knows where the Hidden Temple is. No doubt he normally considers the Shadow/Shadowlands more important, but...

Morito (Ox clan Champion) now leads the Steel sect (which guards the hidden temple.)

Ikoma Tsai leads the Chrysanthemum sect. I'm not sure what her stats are.

Moshi Shanegon leads the Coin sect, apparently rather innefective (poor male Moshi...).

Kuni Nakiro is currently the leader of the Dream sect, and he makes the sleepers.

The Lotus sect is led by Shosuro Nyoko. She has faked her own death, but... This is actually a little typical of the Shosuro, I am not sure how many this would have fooled.

Kakita Kyruko (Rog3/Ftr2/Crt4) leads the Silken sect and is described in Rokugan. Once an enemy of the Kolat, now a master (Taka was always a member). She is also the only Master whose identity is not known to Tiger.

And of course, the Hidden Tiger is not going to be revealed in any official way, so it could very well be say, Daigotsu.

Thanks alot Xeriar, I'll be slowly digesting that information

Btw AA, it would only work for selected units of that clan, not for all of the player's armies...

Serpenteyes:

No custom made NPC can be above PL 1. Just giving you a heads up.

Sollir:

Actually, from what I understand, the bonus does apply to all of the players armies. Furthermore, giving extra bonuses simply because you selected more than one Clan is a bad idea, in my opinion, for reasons I mentioned above.

 

[The Forsaken One]

I have absolutely no problem with giving you more bonusses do due having more clans. BUT (always the but) those bonusses should only apply to the forces of that clan/family and them alone. That would keep things balanced IMO.

 

[AvarielAvenger]

That doesn't really work though, as some of the bonuses are specific player bonuses, like the minus % to make epic spells or epic artifacts. Not to mention some people might make up custom armies, say "this is part of the _insert Clan here_" and say that they should get the bonus as well.

 

[The Forsaken One]

that depends on how reasonable the players are and is up to the DM to decide. I expect some to get more bonusses then others and later on in the game gain more special things.

 

[AvarielAvenger]

By the way, my PC is a Ranger 10/Taker 10 now. It's really just a flavor change, so no big deal.

Announcement:


I regret to announce that I am leaving the Rokugan IR. A few issues are forcing me to leave the boards, and this time I will not be able to come back. I hope you all enjoy the game. Goodbye.

Sad to see you go AA. Good luck with whatever this is.
