The deals went in your ancestor’s favor, and the details have been passed on to you. You gain a 3-point Blackmail Advantage against someone in one of the Great Clans, but since they know that you hold the information you also gain the Sworn Enemy Disadvantage with them.<br/></div></div></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Get in trouble with someone in the *rolls* Yasuki family apparently<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=260870.msg12875306#msg12875306">Quote from: Muse on 01-01-2017, 10:54:46</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">   Hairy, were you okay with our having background links? <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Within reason. Keep in mind thatgenerally there's not a lot of travel in Rokugan, unless on clan business, or someone is doing a musho shugyo or other pilgrimage. If a family member married into another clan, that would also be a valid reason for establishing a link with another character<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=260870.msg12875534#msg12875534">Quote from: Marie Reynolds on 01-01-2017, 13:42:01</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Welcome to the game Crash!

I'm at my PC now.<br/><br/><br/>A couple of points on character generation.<br/><br/>While it doesn't call it out as an absolute hard and fast rule, it recommends 15 points spent on advantages, and 10 gained from disadvantages. Please try to stick within that. I'm willing to allow a little wriggle room where it's integral to the character concept, but on a case by case basis.<br/><br/>Also, there are certain skills I would recommend as pretty much essential<br/>Courtier - 1 rank is useful for almost everyone, particularly the more social clans<br/>Etiquette - Everyone. It's what saves you (hopefully) from making terrible mistakes, and allows the GM to go "Are you REALLY SURE you want to say / do that?" :)<br/>Sincerity - Useful for when your daimyo asks "Does this kimono make my butt look big?"<br/>Defense - Needed for a bushi to use defensive stances in combat<br/><br/>There are plenty of other useful ones, but they favor more bushi / courtier / shukenja, or something more specialised.
