Adjustments to Disadvantages
Anachronism is not available
Antisocial now offers 1 additional point only to the Hiruma, Kuni, and Yogo families.
Bad Fortune: Moto Curse is now Bad Fortune: Vulnerable to Jigoku
New Disadvantage: Bad Reputation (3 points): Whether you were unfairly maligned in the rumor mill or everyone finally realized the truth about you and what you've done, your reputation has been stained. While you have this Disadvantage, you take a -1k0 penalty on all Courtier and Sincerity rolls and your Glory gains are reduced by 1. You can accrue Bad Reputations for multiple things, duplicating this Disadvantage.
Bounty is not available.
Broken Wave Stigma is not available
Cursed by Maigo no Musha is not available
Curse of the Realms: Tengoku is in effect in the presence of the Empress
Dark Edge Reputation is not available
Dark Secret: If, for some reason, your Dark Secret is revealed in character, be advised that any protections derived from backstory will be nullified, and appropriate measures will taken by those with an interest in your secret.
Dark Secret: Kolat is a bit of a problem, in that the Kolat were nearly wiped out following the Yasuki War a generation ago, necessitating a lengthy period of extremely quiet rebuilding, with several cells turning to mundane crime as a way to support themselves without communication from the Temple. As a consequence, We will not be allowing Kolat characters in this game. We may explore the idea of isolated cells in future games.
Dishonored is not appropriate for this game and is not available. It may be acceptable in future games.
Because the stigma of White Stag is so strong, Gaijin Name is worth 2 points for all clans, and 3 points for Tortoise or Mantis characters. Its text is modified to read: Your individual dice may only explode once on a Social Skill Roll. In addition, you cannot address the Imperial Court when it is in session.
Hostage is not available.
Imperial City Stigma is not available
Lord Moon's Curse: In this game, while you may still lose control of your character during the time this disadvantage is in effect, do not expect this to operate like lycanthropy. Lord Moon may be mad, he may be bad, but he isn't unsubtle when he does not wish to be.
Member of the Chrysanthemum Court is not available
Nikesake Stigma is not available
Obtuse is worth 4 points only to Hiruma, Kuni, and Bushi characters
Ruined City Survivor is not available
Sleeper Agent is not available. The Mind Breaker has been killed by the Yasuki.
