Rokugan D20 Discussion (RECRUITING & OOC Thread)

Humm, decisions, decisions.
Tokiwong help me out. I want to play a more traditional samurai but I am having a hard time finding one in the Crab, Mantis, and Unicorn clans. We already have a Crab samurai and the Mantis all seem to look down on using the daisho, and Unicorn samurai tend to be battle maiden types. I am leaning towards either a Tsuruschi archer/samurai or a ronin. What do you think? I would not mind playing a Mantis but I want to use the daisho and that would run against the grain with the Mantis.

there is nothing wrong with going against the grain if you want to be a Mantis with a daisho, each person is an individual, and I don't see anything wrong with it

Kaiu Kyuzo, samurai of Clan Crab, is almost ready; however I still have a few questions:

1. You set starting funds of 300 koku; do we still get the starting outfit from the "Rokugan CS"?

2. OA gives the principle of a mandatory ancestor feat, is this still valid in Rokugan? If so, which feats are fullfilling this obligation? [I would assume "Void use" and the list for Clan Crab in OA.]

3. Do we post the characters here or in the Rogue's gallery? Or do we send them to you?

EDIT: 4. Any feats from the listed sources that are "right out"?

P.S.: The Kaiu family seems to be well represented. [Hi, Chauzu!]:)

1. No you do not, just buy your equipment as needed, i think you should have suffecient funds to purchase what you need for a first level character.

2. Yes it is valid, you can choose any Ancestor feat not just those for Crab, since the blood is mingled in Rokugan, anyone could be an ancestor via family or kharmic tie. Voide Use does count as a suitable choice for your Ancestor feat, and highly recommended.

3. Post them here for now, once things get rolling I will open an Official Thread for the Rogues gallery, and the OOC thread, and the game thread.

4. If you have a questionable feat, ask me, but for now, no. If you have a question on a feat, then ask me.

Hope that answered your question. :)
