Re: GM Questions
Was answered in Discord, but reposting for everyone's benefit:
Returning characters from previous games that had a Daisho (or just wakizashi) in their starting gear still have those?
EDIT: Does this mean every school's starting equipment, even the new ones added for this campaign, don't get those two weapons now? It seems clans had access to them in the previous game, and Advances Schools like the Mirumoto Duelist has had a focus on the daisho since the end of the first game.

Re: GM Questions
Yeah, that was because I wasn't really thinking all that well last game, so I should have adjusted it. People who had it before can still have them. It wouldn't be fair to take them away at this point. I may add a caveat to allow the Mirumoto Bushi specifically daisho for their techniques.Togashi Satsuki wrote: ↑Mon Oct 02, 2023 12:02 amWas answered in Discord, but reposting for everyone's benefit:

Anyone new can replace them with any two weapons.

Re: GM Questions
Does this apply to Ishiken and Void spells as well?Pure Blood Magic does not use scrolls, as they are making offerings instead of prayers. Instead, they are functionally using blood to "fast importune" them. As such, they have access to spells of any level they can cast, provided they offer the requisite blood.

Re: GM Questions
Just wanted to doublecheck - are we using the rules that say Shugenja can have Kiho from the core rule sidebar (costing double the xp to buy and only using ring rather than ring/school rank to determine the kiho you can have)?
Spider Clan * Mother Spider * Reiko Daimyo * Shugenja * Prophet * Former Isawa Tribe * Fire * Blind * Well Educated * Experienced 2 * Kami Speak

Do the following advantages apply in some way vs. Yume-Jigoku corruption?

Touch of Tengoku: You gain a bonus of +2k0 on Earth Ring Rolls made to resist the Shadowlands Taint.

Various expenditures have been assumed to come up, so they won't get the full 5 years worth.
