gaijin status
Texto
Those that hail from a gaijin culture effectively have two statuses. The first is the most important; every gaijin begins with a status of 0 in Rokugan, though this value can be increased during character creation and during play by normal means. This value reflects that gaijin are considered to be outside of the Celestial Order, and therefore have no standing in the Emerald Empire. With that being said, even though gaijin are technically illegal within Rokugani borders, they can gain status and some level of renown among individuals when traveling in the Empire.
The second status value reflects the gaijin’s status in their own homeland. This value will very rarely be used, as the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game is designed to help players and GMs tell stories that take place in Rokugan. There are only a limited number of circumstances in which a gaijin’s homeland status might come into play. Perhaps, during their adventure, the group must briefly travel the Sand Road and encounter more Ujik, or the group encounters a gaijin NPC while traveling in Rokugan. In case such a circumstance arises, the player and GM should discuss the gaijin’s standing in their culture during character creation. When they agree on a value (using the table on page 305 of the core rulebook as a guideline), the player should note this value on their character sheet. Unless a gaijin is interacting with someone from their culture, their cultural status value cannot change unless the GM determines it should. For more information on different ways to run games with gaijin, see Chapter 6: Untold Stories, starting on page 173.
