Here is its description from Rokugan CS: U9 Bugaisha (Outsider Keep): This is were the Unicorn send their dishonored samurai in order to remove them from the courts and activities of the Empire at large. It is considered a great dishonor to be sent here; a samurai thus exiled from his clan may as well shave his head and retire. There is no exit from Bugaisha. Until the destruction of the Dark Moto, this keep also served as the prymary dojo for the Moto bushi schol. The school has since relocated to Shiro Moto (U27). Can you shift back its stat to that of a normal castle (7/5) and assign 10/10 to Shiro Moto? [B]Answer: [/B]Noted. PL and IR will be swapped.

[B]Lichtenhart[/B] Actually, I think I beat you to those by about five hours... Here's my little advices: As a minor clan player, you won't find many places on the map you can rightfully claim and I'm not sure you'll gain advantage from few territories the bigger clans may consider as theirs... Let's see other ways to reach your PL cap. NPCs: You can claim up to ten newly generated NPCs and I think as many as you want "official" NPCs, e.g. Toku, Monkey Clan Champion (Com3 / Sam7 [really orrible stats! pump him up by 4 or 5 levels]) PL 1 Unaligned lands: well, there is some chaos here. You could check with Kalanyr, because he claimed several minor clan and the imperial provinces but not all their territories, several are not on the list; you probably can find a deal. There are also some places controlled by ronin. I will tell you better later. Troops and special troops: Something like Imperial Guard PL 10 : IR 28 should fit well. Artifacts: You may forge some artifact to strenghten your PC or NPCs or even a major artifact (100 PL) to balance Sollyr's one. Then all the good guys will owe you something. __________________ [B]Answer: [/B]Heh... thanx Lichtenhart. [B]Darkwolf[/B] I am seeking a special horde to eat up a good portion of my PL...also wondering if its possible to claim the shadow dragon as an npc... For the horde I was thinking of something along the lines of the following depending on what the answer is to my other question: Kyoso Special Task Force: PL 30 IR ? [B]Answer:[/B] Seems fine with me... Go ahead and claim your dragon, and it's PL will follow the rules I set for your PL. 15 HD equals 1 PL. So you can set it's HD to 29. Also your other unit will probably be ok. I'll wait for you to confirm that you want to claim. They will be PL 10 : IR 28 as per your PC.
