Why the honor/dishonor as that seems a little extreme.

The Scout keyword is supposed to limit the number of characters you can use this on. I think Unicorn currently had about 5 (and this could be splashable although Crab and Crane are the only clans with Scouts currently). Thematically the Scout is honored for scouting a province and returning with valuable intel; OR the defending player has turned up for a battle only to be outrun by a scout and is therefore dishonored. It's a nice half counter to Shameful Display too (although only mitigates it slightly).

Additionally, I meant this to be 'When you're attacking' not just 'During a conflict'. Have now corrected.

Is this meant to be a superior kill card to just about anything in the game. One bow effect or Harpoon to a bowed character and it kills anything in the game. Yes 4 Fate is expensive but that is still a very powerful effect.

Just far to random as the potential to draw 4 cards is insane.

Again a very powerful effect with too many loop holes to realistically be playable

I'm a HUGE fan of the honor dial game. Much more interesting and interactive aspect then what ring is claimed by who.

Also Perfection is easy to pull off with cards like Maze of Illusion, you just need to wait for an opponent to hit 2-4 on the honor dail.

But yeah the first two are loopy as ****

2 cost Neutral Event

Action: Each player sets their honor dial in secret and then reveals - Each player discards a number of cards off the top of their conflict deck equal to the number on their honor dial. The player with the lowest number draws 3 cards. The player with the higher number chooses up to 2 characters and readies them. If all numbers are the same nothing happens.

Tale of the Disgraced

1 cost event neutral

Action: During a conflict lose 1 honor - Bow a readied participating character with a base stat above its glory. If you control a Magistrate, dishonor the character after it bows.

Here are some ideas to do neutral strongholds

Dragon's Guard City
Strength: +1
Starting Honor: 12
Fate Value: 7
Influence: 10
Your deck may include any number of non-unique Imperial cards ignoring Clan and Role restriction.
Your unaligned Character cards without the Creature or Shadowlands trait gain the Imperial trait and have +X[M], +X [P], and +X [G] equal to half its cost rounded down.
Bow this Stronghold to pay the cost of discarding the Imperial Favor.

Inazuma Toshi
Strength: +2
Starting Honor: 10
Fate Value: 7
Influence: *
You may include any number of Holdings , Attachments and Events from any two clans.
Your unaligned Character cards without the Shadowlands trait gain the Mantis Clan trait and have +2X [M] and +X [P] equal to half its cost rounded down
Reaction: After a player takes an action that targets a card under your control, bow this stronghold to negate the action.

The Lost City
Strength: +3
Starting Honor: 8
Fate Value: 7
Influence: 10
You may include any number of Character cards in your deck. You may include any number of cards with the Creature or Shadowlands traits in your deck ignoring Clan restrictions.
All Character, Attachment and Holding cards you play gain the Shadowlands trait.
Your unaligned Character cards gain +2X [M] equal to half its cost rounded down and -1 [G] to a minimum of 0.
Bow this Stronghold to remove a card with the Shadowlands trait from any player's discard pile and place it in your hand.

This would allow people to play as Imperial, Mantis or Spider without requiring a ton of cards being printed for those factions. All of the current unaligned cards would become appropriate for their faction just by having the appropriate stronghold attached to the deck.

Whispering Villager

Glory 0

Shinobi Rumourmonger

Action: dishonor this character - dishonor another character in play.

Been thinking about this one a while. Add Peasent and change it to...

Action: Dishonor a character you control - target and dishonor a character with glory equal to or less than the glory of your dishonored character.

Remember Peasents have no shame, but listening to them is VERY shameful.

Where on earth would you have gotten such an idea?
That is just flat out demonstrably untrue.

Unless it is on matters of warfare or politics, listening to peasants is basically a requirement for samurai to get much of anything done.

Who exactly do you think reports the bandits and ghosts and other things? And how exactly is harvest, census or taxation handled if everyone refuses to hear a single word spoken by a peasant?

And what about the majority of samurai who spend their time in sake houses listening to stories from people with even lower station than peasants?

Seriously-- almost nothing within the empire could actually be done without some samurai talking with some peasant, so such an absolutism on such a critical and common thing is just dumb.

The shame in this card would be from being fooled by a peasant, not simply listening to one.

Although I would agree with the basic point that dishonoring a 2 cost character card with 0 glory really isn't enough of a cost to pay for dishonoring any character in play. Especially since the ability can be triggered so long as the opponent has any character card at all in play, and afterwards the card continues to function as an neutral 2/2 for 2 for the remainder of its time in play-- which is pretty decent by itself.

Now-- if the ability could only be used in a Conflict and the cost was detroying the card, that would be more reasonable.

Righteous Warden
2 Cost Lion Character (Dynasty)
1 Mil
0 Pol
1 Glory
Bushi
Reaction: After your opponent declares attackers - Assign this character as a defender, then take X honour from the attacking player. X is equal to the number of attacking characters.
