I'd say it adds 1% on the following table, to a minimum of 1:

Then the rank 2 Kaiu adds the Kaiu bonus and then 1% after the bonus.

TABLE 1.1:
TYPICAL STRUCTURE WOUNDS AND REDUCTION STRUCTURE
WOUNDS REDUCTION
Hut 50 1
House 100 4
Shrine 250 8
Common (inn, tea house, etc.) 400 8
Temple 500 8
Estate 2,000 10
Keep/Tower 5,000 15
Castle 10,000 25
Palace 100,000 30
Fortress 500,000 40

[Kaiu Aiichiro]

If the nikutai symbol is usually incorporated on our personal mon, is there some sort of rating that indicates military position? Like the star/traces/shape of irl military?

[Vutall]

There's nothing official on it, so i'd say just being incorporated into the personal mon is enough and people would understand.

[Kakita Kenji]

For Part 2, do we still Count as Status 0.5 or do we have our actual Status? Same Thing for Glory.

[Vutall]

You gained +0.5 status and +0.5 glory at the end of Part 1.

[Togashi Dao]

You gained +0.5 status and +0.5 glory at the end of Part 1.

Does that glory round down for us ascetics?

Or since it's really "starting" glory do we get all of it?

[Vutall]

You get it all

[Matsu Qiang]

Do we know if there was any Lion/Crane fighting over Red Lake, or if that was all handled in Winter Court? I'm trying to figure out what I could write into Qiang's pregame story about it. Qiang would've been too young to be involved, of course, but maybe he would have family members who got into skirmishes or duels or something.

[Matsu Qiang]

For a returning character, in the new character submission format there are blocks like this:

Earth 2 (The lowest between the two traits)
-Stamina 3 Spent 12xp to increase from 2-3)

-----

Skills (* are school skills/emphasis) (A list of Skills, Emphasis, and Mastery Abilities can be found Here Please only use the skills listed under Core Book )
*Battle (*Mass Combat) 1
*Defense: 1
*Kenjustu 3 (Cost 5 xp)
*Kyujutsu 1
*Lore - History 2 (Cost 2xp)
*Sincerity 1

If we got ring bonuses or skill bonuses from part 1 events, do you want us to say which event we got them in? or list the equivalent XP cost? or something else?

[Vutall]

It was all handled at court, it should be in the timeline.

You do not need to mention a lot of the references there, that’s mostly for new players to show how things work. Just include the advantage without the reminders of where they come from. No need to list the XP costs either

[Kaito Haruki]

Will we get xp in between sessions in part 2?

[Vutall]

A little.

[Kaito Haruki]

Good enough!

[Kaito Haruki]

Since there will be gaijin stuff in Tsuma, will we have to spend xp to get it? And would it be illegal or do we get a piece of paper saying we bought this spyglass from Lord So and So

[Vutall]

The stuff you can buy wouldn't be illegal, mostly.

If you do get something illegal, there won't be a note saying it's OK

[Kaito Haruki]

Stuff that would be a part of gaijin gear advantage, would that be illegal?

[Vutall]

Likely

[Kaito Haruki]

Even though the description for Little Khanbulak says those items do not break imperial decree?

[Vutall]

Those wouldn't be illegal

[Kaito Haruki]

I'm not sure how to word this: I know there was a petition to the Emperor to ban Meishōdō in new canon as one of the first LCG events. Has that already happened, and if so do the Seppun already know about it?
