I post this thread for those wishing to post their wish for future or hypothetical schools that could see the light of day in the future supplement of the game or for fans who wish to create their own schools / clans.

And to regroup those who already had realized. (Or to discuss it).

So what do you think, do you have ideas to complete this list?

I think I may attempt the Daidoji Harrier school tomorrow... that could be an interesting task. 😃

I realized the badger clan and the wasp clan.

For the daidoji I started to write it (if it can serve you as a basis):

Daidoji Harrier School (Bushi/Courtier/Ninja)

The Daidoji Harriers were a highly secretive, small group of elite warriors of the Crane Clan. The Harriers mainly served as scouts, saboteurs, surveillance experts, and yojimbo and were expected to be able negate the advantage of fifty or more enemy soldiers. They were also used as spies and bodyguards off of the battle field. They were sometimes thought of as "the ninja of the Crane", although they acted in a more honourable way, they did not use poison for instance and targeted only military objectives or intruders. heir techniques were utilized only in battle, and they did not target innocents or bystanders. With the relation with gaijin, the Harrier can use Tanegashima weapon and study the Black Powder and explosif.

I was going to go in a different (and likely unpopular) direction. To be honest, I've had a bit of trouble wrapping my head around this edition, so I'm going to start a "Daidoji Harrier" thread and toss out a couple different versions to see what resonates. You should post your completed version there as well!

Posted my first two attempts at the Daidoji Harrier here .

Um, where did you get the idea for the Tonbo from? I'm part way through writing a Tonbo Shugenja/Courtier: from my memory, most of the Clan currently spend their time keeping impatient courtiers happy until they get fed up of waiting to speak to an actual Dragon that they leave Kyuden Tonbo.

This thread should probably be in the Houserules subforum.

This a take on the Hare Minor Clan , and yes it will be a good idea to be moved into the Houserules forums.

List updated.

But I think that for Lion (Beastmaster and Lion Pride), it would be necessary to make a same school, or maybe that later there will be advanced schools.

For Phoenix, I had not much idea, maybe Kaito Protector Temple (Monk) https://l5r.gamepedia.com/Kaito_Temple_Protector and Shiba Peamaker (Bushi, Courtier, Artisan) https://l5r.gamepedia.com/Shiba_Peacemaker (For the armor smithing)

For Crab and Dragon no idea.

For the unicorns, whose brokers were mostly emissaries send on the burning sand to negotiate. http://l5r.wikia.com/wiki/Ide_Emissary To see

Some ideas from 4e "Emerald Empire"

• Minor Clan - Minor Clan Defender [Bushi]
• Imperial - Imperial Scion [Courtier]
• Lion - Ikoma Lion's Shadow [Bushi]
• Phoenix - Shiba Artisan [Artisan]
• Mantis - Kobune Captain [Bushi]
• Scorpion - Soshi Magistrate [Bushi]
• Crane - Doji Magistrate [Bushi]
• Dragon - Taoist Swordsman [Bushi]
• Crab - Hida Pragmatist [Bushi]

The 4e version of these schools are available here .
