Altered Advantages
Gentry – This advantage now signifies the possession of a holding within a town, village or city. This may be anything from a small farm or a large forge in Gisei Toshi with many smiths under the character’s supervision. The value from 1-5 points signifies the size of the holding and the number of other people working within. These people have their own lives – they work for the character, but don’t attend them. That is covered by the Servant Advantage.

Heart of Vengeance – Heart of Vengeance may target another tribe or the followers of a particular Kami instead of a Clan.

Languages – Limited to Language of the Kami and non-human languages.

Perceived Honor – Now refers to Reputation instead of Honor.

Servant – There are no discounts for any servant type. Characters may not have an Eta Attendant or a Sohei.

Touch of the Spirit Realms – Maigo no Musha may not be taken since the realm doesn’t exist yet.

Seven Fortunes' Blessing: Ebisu - Whenever you are engaging in a Craft skill roll to improve life for your Tribe, whether creating tools for them, farming, or fishing, you may add +0k1 to the to the total of the Craft roll in question. This bonus does not apply to Craft: Weaponsmith unless you are creating a weapon for someone else.


Altered Disadvantages
Bad Fortune – Characters may not take the Yogo or Moto Curse as neither exist yet.

Cursed by the Realm – Maigo no Musha may not be taken since the realm doesn’t exist yet.


New Disadvantages
Sinful [Mental] (2 points)
You have forsaken virtue and instead chosen to live a sinful life. Your Reputation is two ranks lower than your normal starting value (as determined by your School).

Vanity [Mental] (2 points)
You are gorgeous and/or brilliant and you know it. Unfortunately, the rest of the world doesn't seem to notice. You'd better make sure they understand just what kind of quality person they're dealing with! You subtract your Glory Rank from the total of all Social Skill rolls you make.

Deaf [Physical] (5 Points)
You entirely lack the ability to hear, as a result of birth, injury, or other circumstance. You suffer a -10 penalty to Initiative rolls, and a -1k1 penalty to any situation where the ability to hear is relevant, such as searching for something that makes noise, or during social interaction.
GM + Bird + Glorious Plumage + Experienced

"Is the dark side stronger?"
"No, no, no. Quicker. Easier. More seductive."
