Using the Otokodate in 3rd Edition[edit]

Way of the Wolf introduced everyone to the concept of the otokodate, or 'warrior brotherhood' of the Ronin. And, while these Techniques were pretty damn cool, in order to use them you had to 'pay to be one of the cool kids'. Well, that just isn't right. So here, in this space, I'm going to turn the original brotherhood techniques into Rank Techniques. These Techniques may be taken by any ronin. However, unlike the Ronin Techniques set out in the Core rules, you may not switch from one band to the other willy-nilly. Once you take the first technique of any brotherhood, you must take all other available techniques before transferring to a generic Ronin school.
Essentially, this is like a mini-clan for Ronin. --Daermon 21:22, 15 Jul 2005 (PDT)

Okay, so I can't even attempt to claim credit for this one. This is an idea that was originally proposed by Shisumo here. I've decided to steal it, with his permission of course, and re-work it as an alternative system for Ronin. Rather than having requisite traits, they will instead form a series of "floating" paths to help demonstrate the flexibility and intuitiveness of the Ronin character. Anyway, when all is said and done, I hope someone out there likes it. --Daermon 01:13, 16 Jul 2005 (PDT)
