It leaves some players segregated from others a little bit, but its not like the Oni are going to wait for dawn to attack. There's a bit of history of Shiro Hiruma fighting thoughout the night after all.


Since (most) people can't rest in the Shadowlands anyways, it shouldn't be a problem if they stay awake to watch over things at night. They're not resting anyways. :P

When Barswanian comes into play he forgets what he's doing, remove him from the game.
If Barswanian is removed from the game, place him in one of the opponent's provinces face-up. He got lost! If there is another card in the province, discard Barswanian: he forgot what he was doing again.
If Barswanian is in the discard pile, place him on the top of his owner's dynasty deck.

Looking over the list of archetypes proposed and the characters people are talking about...

New project before falling asleep!

Kuni Witchhunter build!

Which leads to the question: how many jade ranks does a jade pendant give?

Probably easiest just to treat it as if it were a finger a jade (ie, one rank).

Though it is easiest to treat it as a finger of jade, I think it is more appropriate to think of it as something a bit cooler. The Kuni have blessed the jade to be more resilient, and this description is shown in every witch hunter description I can think of. The blessed pendant should [and it is fair and not overpowered to say] be somewhere between a finger of jade and an incorruptible finger of jade.

Mechanically all I can think of is either treating it as something profoundly tougher than a single piece (instead of 10 points of protection, try 50 or even more…and yes this is something a real witch hunter has mechanically earned) or apply a spell that prevents taint and make that run out first, then make the jade work as a normal finger.

We probably won't be doing that. :P
