Itsuwari, the Scorpion Katana, like all Ancestral Clan weapons, as an extremely unique power.
When weilded against an opponent, that opponent percieves the weilder as being right next to where he actually is. This is an illusion that isn't, a mind effecting effect that isn't, in a way.
Converting it to d20 is a bit weird, hmm.
The effect doubles all non-armor (including natural armor) AC, including the original 10. It affects everyone who opposes the weilder in melee combat, living or undead.
It's power can be overcome after the first round of combat, however. For each round after the first round, the opponent may make a Will save, TN 25, to overcome the power. Once an opponent has overcome the power, it may never affect that opponent again.

As for its normal quality, the Clan books intentionally say little. It's obviously a kick butt weapon in its own right, but just how kick butt is up to the GM/DM. +5, Keen, and Speed would not be unreasonable (in d20 terms).
The weapon cannot be destroyed by someone or something without a recognized tie to the divine.
Using a scroll produces taint. Probably a number of IR in IR. All are indesctructable and can be reused. All are open at this point in the timeline.
The first black scroll :
Wasting disease spell - effects large number of people, Nezumi are immune
The second black scroll:
In area of strong taint, Builds a castle called the Iron citidel. If one exist it will suddenly cease to exist and the new one appears.
The third black scroll:
Cast Black wind from the soul; Area effect spell harms living creatures heals undead.
The Fourth black scroll:
Dark divination: allows user to ask three questions about world and future.
The Fifth Black scroll:
Shapeshifting: Transforms target into creature of your choice.
The Sixth Black scroll:
Touch of Dispair: Creates cloud of taint - creatures effected gain taint score equal to 10 minus honor.
The seventh Black scroll:
Touch of Fu Leng - give creature one shadowland power.
The eigth Black scroll:
Return of the Fallen lord: Raise dead....honor reduced to 0, alignment becomes evil. By the way this and kharma (reincarnation) is the only way to come back from the dead in Rokugan.
The ninth Black scroll:
The terrible oath: sacrifice a intelligent being to give your group bonuses in combat.
The tenth black scroll:
The walking horror of Fu Leng: cast on target to create akutsukai template to be added to him.
The eleventh black scroll:
Doom of Fu Leng: ray attack from eyes does negative levels and ability draining attack.
The twelvth black scroll:
The scroll that has no name : contained the spirit of Fu Leng....doesn't do anything besided cause shugenja to want to possess it.

I am sure those can easily be converted to IR stats. Some are very useful, some are kind of blah.
Oh, those celestial swords should be unbreakable but a loss of honor to loose one.
As a suggestion for honor in the game. It should rank 0-5 and a person is unable to command troops with more honor then them.

Actually...the ancestral katana's were broken by Shinjo.Macbrea said:
New Celestrial Katanas were forged for the Clans by the Fortune of Steel.From the Magic of Rokugan Book:
Celestrial Sword of the Scorpion - Churetsu
+5 Vorpal Katana of Speed. It grants the used a +20 sacred bonus to any Charisma based skll check. The Scorpion Champion can indentify Churetsu on sight, to all others it appears as a normal Bayushi katana. Even to detect magic or true seeing it appers perfectly normal.

Note on the Black Scrolls, a maho spellcaster can "scribe" them in as 9th level spells if within possession of them, otherwise they are unlimited use scrolls according to Magic of Rokugan

Hmmm doubht doubt, I'd like to play but I know JACK about this setting, really NOTHING.
If anyone has the names of the sourcebooks and history books so I can download them....?
And anyone knows of a online map of the setting..? Would be nice.
That is all offcourse if there is room. And creamstake I'd like to play not a major power and if possible something not combat.. possibly "NPC" or something.... so if you have any cool or creative suggestions where you could spare room for a player would be great!.
