Descrição
Though samurai represent the pinnacle of martial prowess in Rokugan, even the mightiest among them can be felled by a wall of yari or a cloud of arrows. Ashigaru, soldiers from the peasant class, make up the front line of Great Clan armies, surrounding samurai who stray too far from their own lines or turning the tide in wars of attrition.
For some, ashigaru is a temporary title granted in times of necessity. For others it is a death sentence. But for many peasant soldiers, serving as an ashigaru is a career, an honor, and a way to better their status in life by entering the lowest rung of the buke class. Some of the Great Clans, including the Lion, offer better training and equipment to their foot soldiers than other clans do, as well as more recognition. An ashigaru who serves with distinction can gain a small share of the glory of battle, and even be called up to permanently serve as a guard or scout. It is not uncommon for ashigaru families to serve a daimyō across multiple generations, having found pride and purpose in their service.
