After playing some games I feel confident saying that...

We need "courtier" on Hotaru !!! For real this is so frustrating. It's not even about balance it's just that every game I try to play for shame or outwit and get kicked in the nuts by ffg. T-T

@MrMenthe I totes agree! Why is Hotaru, with 6 pol and 3 glory NOT a courtier???

Every champion has Bushi. Togashi is Bushi + Shugenja, Shoju is Bushi + Courtier, and Altansarnai is a Bushi + Cavalry, and it doesn't seem to detract from these champions stats. Why is she NOT a courtier???

Insults: I've always been confused why Scorpion doesn't have some way for a character to insult another character's honor and instigate a duel. Even more so now that duels have an honor gain/loss element to them.

False or real evidence: Scorpion spies are everywhere; we caught you doing something wrong, so why can't I present testimony and evidence to show the world just how dishonorable you really are?

Unicorn: Some other incentive to going first or reward tempo control.
new stronghold,
new province,
new clan champ,
new 'way of' card
new 4 cost Unique character
new card to honor or gain honor
new unicorn event negation or protection card

I know you said just '1' but Unicorn seem to have more holes than the Seahawk's offensive line.

To this I would add someone who can move characters home. Oh yes, we have plenty of ways to move characters into a conflict, but when everyone still bows from resolution I don't feel that this gains us much. The CCG had a lot of effects that were either-or. There is currently only one effect we have like that (Favorable Ground), and I'm not really sure why that is. Not even our stronghold can call back forces - though admittedly, that at least makes thematic sense. All this on top of effects that reward us for being dumb and going first.

Crab event. 0 fate cost. Action: Discard a card from your hand to give target province +X strength. X equals the cost of the conflict card discarded.
