[ooc] Kore | Kingdom of Harmony [terminated]

[doghead]

Just a not to say I have written Takagi out of the introduction and am formally closing the slot.

TH and Nac, we'll run with two til DrZ comes back. It should make for a faster game. Sorry about the delay in moving things on, I wanted to leave the slot open til the weekday crowd had had a chance to check in and post up.

As I mentioned in another thread, I been feeling a bit ... scattered, distracted, disolute recently. So apologies if the game has felt a bit erratic.

I'm back from my exhausting two weeks of drinking red wine, swimming and looking at old villages in france. I'll try to post my character asap.

Welcome back DrZ. The other two (TH and NMF) are just about to leave the inn. I was planning to have your character on the way to the monastery himself and meet up with Rukuro and Tezune on the road. You all have met in the park on the hill, which should be enough to open a conversation. If you have any other suggestions let me know.

I've thought about it again - feel free to draw up an alternate Adept spell list from the cleric spell list and include it for consideration.

Just a reminder to everyone to let me know if you have any thoughts on names and powers for your magic items. I'll going to try and finalise that soon.

I've added a short section on Travel by Land in the Kingdom. Initially, you will be travelling west along a fairly main road that connects Hakata to Karatsu. But after about a day, you will be going south where there is nothing other than villages. As ronin (especially a foreign ronin should Rukuro be dressed in the chinese style Nac), you will rank under just about everybody but the commoners. Tonsured monastics have no caste as such. Courtasy will dictate that most treat them with respect, or at least as an equal if the other is of significant standing themselves.

Notes on priests: the Sohei are priests who have selected the way of the warrior over that of magic. (ie monk rather than cleric). Regular priests are called So. Komuso are followers of the f uke sect (not sure how this will fit in yet) who wear the basket headgear so beloved by spies everywhere. Bozu are Buddist monks who have taken vows of celebacy and eat no meat , Ama are the female equivelant. Kannushi are the Shinto priests - mostly its a part time position, they still live and work amoung the community.

I'm going to give some thought as to how this should corrolate with the regular classes and update the information post (eventually). For the moment, just go with what seem to fit best.

Just a quick shameless self-promotion here:

I'm starting a fantasy d20 modern game at http://enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=92827 and am looking for players.

Magic Items

I've drafted up names for the items you did not create yourself.

TH: You can do it for items Hiraku created himself. Just give me an english name - i'll create the bastardised japanese derivative with a little help from Mr Yohan's Little Red Book. I couldn't see most of them in the SRD so I'll need an indication of the level at which he can first create the item.

Rukuro

> Detarame no Tebukuro (Random Glove)
Initial Aspect (L2): Gauntlet of Deception: +3 to bluff

Hiraku

> Saiko no Tamashii (Highest/Sovereign Soul)
Initial Aspect (L2): +1 Studded Leather Armour.

LX indicates the level that you were when you obtained the items (in both cases here Level 2).

I am going to need an Alignment indication for your characters. This will determin the rate at which the second aspect manifests, and whether a third one does at all.

There hasn't been any [ic] activity here since last month. So I am going to pull the plug.
