Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yes. You can have Rank 1 of your school, then freely take Ronin bushi schools from that point on without penalty. Right in the Ronin schools rules.

And yes about the Ronin = Samurai Kind Of thing. But no respectable Samurai would consider a Ronin as a fellow Samurai. It's all a matter of perception.

Heh. It looks like we've came upon similar characters, Caboose. ><

Fluffs not done, items aren't done, and I might make a small tweak when I see what the heritage rolls say (or when I decide if I want large or not). But he's pretty much done.

Moto Rais

...you wanted a war campaign. I made a bushi.

Edit: I've already double checked my XP expenditures and Insight, but I could have made a mistake. On to finishing items up now.

Edit Again: Fine quality gear appears to be out of our price range, for weapons and armor at least, since it's 10x the price. So assuming you don't have a neat way I could grab something like that, could I trade my heavy armor and 10 koku for the riding armor or something like that? Unless I can get fine quality armor or hammer, I think that's probably my goal gear-wise.
