Sollir and Darkwolf. I am only going to award one scroll to the you. Decide which one of you possesses/guards the scroll you get.
Taint will be considered 0 right now, even for shadowlands powers. They are still tainted by d20 standards, but they are not tainted by IR standards. In the IR taint can only be gained from these scrolls, and taint will hurt. Scores are 1-10.
1-3: Basically the character must acknowledge they are becoming tainted and has to deal with the horrible cravings and debilitations attached to it.
4-6: The character becomes confused, and unless they are stopped they will join a shadowlands power, or create thier own.
7-9: The character won't accept any leadership at all, and wants to destroy everything out of a lust for power (comes under my control).
10: The character becomes wholy Taint. Such creatures are under my control, and have a PL at least 10x thier original PL. They threaten everyone, and will probably have a good +2/+2 in addition to thier original modifiers.
This scroll, when used, will affect a settlement like a town, city, palace, castle, or a minor body of water with a disease that kills many people. This scroll must be used on-site. This scroll makes attack rolls and defenders make defense rolls once each. NPCs and PCs are immune. Players that use this with an NPC or PC will heavily taint that individual, not to mention the risk for getting it into a good spot to use. Tainted NPCs may become shadowlands warlords, possibly joining a shadowlands power, and possibly turning against Daigotsu.
This scroll is pretty much self-defined. It creates an instant fortress that provides defenders the usual +2 defense bonus for a palace or fortress. Armies staying in this fortress for defense will suffer some degree of taint, risking a 5% chance that some PL will convert to the shadowlands, or they will rebel against shadowlands leaders. Each PL makes a single roll.
This scroll gives shadowlands powers a +1 +1, and gives other powers a -1 -1. Pretty simple. It affects the whole army that has this scroll, unless they choose not to use it.
This question does exactly what it says, but secretly can taint NPCs and armies under a players command. These powers, as said above, may join shadowlands powers, or may fight on thier own side.
This scroll can be used to give a PC or NPC a +3/+3 or a -3/-3, but taints the person being affected by this spell.
Directly taints a city, town, village, or minor body of water and the caster.
[QuoteThe 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.[/Quote]
Revives an NPC or PC, but reduces thier honor to 0 as listed, and taints them.
Horrible little scroll... it gives a whole army +2/+2 if used during a fight, but taints everyone benifiting from it.
This Black Scroll increases an NPC or PCs PL by 1. Taints them.
Taints the caster slightly, but allows them to attack with a +6 on one attack roll. Even if you have 10 PL and therefor get 10 attacks, this +6 only applies to one of them.
Does exactly what the text says. Does cause minor taint.
Allright, review the above and check it to make sure these aren't way too screwed up. I know they could need work, because I just ad-hocked this list together. Taint will play a big roll if you have it.
*Still working*
Well Forsaken, I have this neat little idea for you. If you don't think there are enough grouped powers to claim (keep in mind you can take my claims now), I have one possible solution.
You could create a PL 3 PC, 10 PL 1 NPCS, 10 artifact weapons to improve thier attack/defense scores, and buy a PL 7 castle or such. Now you have the most powerful adventuring party in the game, and a castle you can defend. If you don't like that idea, I'm sure I can find a decent amount of land for you to claim.
I'll add them to the list, but I'll change the PL and IR changed around a little.
Allright, keep in mind that although he is a PC, if he gets wiped out in a battle, the item goes to the other players side, so I wouldn't use it unless you can insure victory. The bonus is +1/+1.
well that is interesting... hmmm...
Uh oh...

Grants someone, NPC or PC, a +1 attack or defense, and taints them. This scroll can be used up to three times on one character.

I'm not sure what you mean about the Isawa's Wish, unless the only way to not abuse it is to mention it once in a Clan book and then never ever do anything with it again.
