Hi there.
Last night I found a group to play RQ Land of the Samurai with, something I've planned to do for a long time. My other RQ group plays on a medieval fantasy world we created ourselves, and my players from that group currently have no interest in Japan, Samurai, Buddhism, and all that.
When I opened the Land of the Samurai book again yesterday, I couldn't find all the info I was looking for immediately. (Damn, I should have remembered that the Courtesy skill was introduced in the RQ Companion, not in the RQ Main Rulebook ...)
My most pressing question, though, is this: Do new characters for Land of the Samurai also get the 100 free Skill Points at character generation? This is not expressly stated in the book. Since I figured it would be used in conjunction with the standard char-gen from RQ Main Rulebook/Deluxe, I assumed all player-characters get the 100 free points to be added to skills.
Maybe Larence had a different philosophy, though. I think it' possible that he thought Land of the Samurai characters would not get the 100 extra points, since they get Courtesy, access to Ki Abilities, spirit magic, On, and other benefits already.
