step 2: choose school affiliations and summarize school
Texto
A school is typically associated with a Great Clan, as most official schools in Rokugan represent the tried-andtrue methods crafted by Rokugani masters over generations. However, there are myriad styles and possible avenues for individuality when creating new schools. For this step, the player needs to determine if their school will be specific to a particular clan or gaijin faction, or if it is a more niche type of school that a peasant might use (keep in mind the last two options are not ones that would be easily accepted by the Great Clans). An affiliation determines which characters have access to that school by default (e.g. Crane Clan characters can attend a Crane school). If selecting a Great Clan affiliation, choose a family that this school originates from, though any member of the clan will be able to choose this school.
After choosing affiliations, it’s time to come up with a three- to five-sentence summary describing what makes the school exciting and what it’s about. This should present the selling point for the school––what about this school would pique someone’s interest enough to play it?
