I'll add these onto my claims:
* Tomb of Iuchiban (Maho Site) PL 12 : IR 4
* Daigotsu's Personal Guard (A group of Oni and other tainted creatures sworn to protecting Daigotsu.) PL 20 : IR 0
May I spend some of my remaining PL on certain artifacts...such as the black scrolls?

Hmmm.... Ok, this is the way I'll play that:
You can trade 10 PL from your Cap (reducing your cap to 110 PL) to buy one Major Artifact. The Artifact (such as the Black Scrolls in this case) will be invaluable, and artifacts that are published in Rokugan Books will act just as they do.
If someone wants to craft an artifact, here are some examples of what I will allow:
1) An artifact weapon or armor that increases 1 NPC OR PCs PL by 5 points or a +2/+2 to attacks. Such items can be stolen and such if you don't guard them well enough.
2) An artifact 1-time use item with a devastating affect. For example, a +1 +1 for all your combat units in a single battle, or a +2 +2 for 20 PL of normal troops in one battle.
3) An artifact that provides a constant power, but minor in value. Such artifacts can have powers that help you with activities outside of combat, like gaining five additional PL each turn (some kind of spawning-stone like object), but once again -artifacts can be stolen or destroyed.
If you have another idea, just ask me and I'll try to get more in-depth.
If a player wanted to sacrifice like 100 PL from his/her cap, I might allow something like the artifacts from the 3rd IR... but I'll just wait and see what ideas people have.
I might also raise the cap 10 or 20 points if everyone wants an artifact for thier PC or something similar.

I'm going to drop my claim of the Dragon Clan and similar territories. I kind of was starting to feel uncomfortable play/moderating. I know I could do it fairly, but it just wasn't a comfortable idea.
You are all free to do as you please, but hold back on claiming my territories until I clean up the lists and post them again.
Macbrea, your claim have been noted. What power do you want this sword to have, and who will possess/guard it?
All other claims can continue. I still expect Mr Draco, Sense of Non, and possibly Anabstercorrian to join.

Creamsteak, any ideas for what the black scrolls would be and their PL Cost? Especially there are 12 and they all do different things, with the last doing nothing...
Celestial Sword of The Scorpion (Page 83 Magic of Rokugan)
Unusable by any person besides clan scorpion.
The Scorpions Celestial sword, Churetsu, +5 vorpal katana of speed. It grants the wielder a +20 sacred bonus to any Charisma-based skill check. The scorpion Champion can identify Churetsu on sight, though to anyone else it appears identical to a standard Bayushi katana. Churetsu otherwise does not seem spectacular in any way; even to detect magic or truee seeing it appears perfectly ordinary.
Wielder will be PC Bayushi Nori (male samurai 19/honor 2)

Sollir,
Well Sollir, as usual my lack of knowledge about Rokugan prevents me from making an accurate judgement. If you wish to try and obtain the 12 scrolls, I could freely assign one to each player and randomly give other ones out by lottery. You would start with one for free, but so would other players.
I do believe the 12 scrolls, if used at once, would have an... interesting affect. If this is an element you want to add to the game, I will allow it.
However, if you want just 1 scroll, and don't want the rest - you can designate it as a 1-time use item that does something rather catastrophic, or a constant affect that generates some Oni for you, or something similar.
If someone else has some more accurate ideas, I'm ready to listen.
Macbrea,
Your sword can grant you, and you only a +3 bonus to all attack and defense rolls. However, in anyone else's hands it only grants a +1 bonus (I'm breaking the rule about it only working for you, so that you will want to protect it more), and can be destroyed by any other PC if they get thier hands on it, by simply stating they do so.

Information is good, I like information.
Oh, if you want to keep ideas on these matters secret, just email me. I'm going away for a little while, so post here and I'll answer when I get back. I will be on from 10PM-Midnight and possibly a little later, and possibly back on as early as 6 AM.
