I am not using the rokugan setting and this player is having trouble thinking of a good reason to adventure, seeing as how he has never really roleplayed before :blink: What would be a good reason for this character to adventure, or a good motivation.
Shar_Narishma 09-05-05, 11:31 PM	well, seeing as he is a water shugenja, and therefor must enjoy/love/worship water(depending on how you do shugenja in your campaign), maybe he wished to experience the cleansing touch of water from other lands, or maybe, you as a DM, could give him a reason such as the water from his native artic land has been corrupted by magic, and he is leaving to figure out wth is going on.

King_of_the_squirrels 09-06-05, 07:48 PM	thank you both, those will atleast help give him some goals to form his backstory. :)
