Way of the Shugenja errata [From RPG Mailing List]
On an unknown page in the section on either Ronin or Fox shugenja, there is a line that reads "the Kitsune Dojo only teaches Asahina shugenja or True Ronin shugenja." That should read "the Kitsune Dojo only teaches Kitsune shugenja"...etc....
Way of the Samurai errata [From L5R RPG Mailing List]
The Ancestor Feat "Fire and Ice," whose ancestor is Miya Satoshi, should read a prerequisite of "Base Attack Bonus +1 or Higher," not "+5 or Higher." This errata is from the L5R-RPG Mailing List.
Rokugan errata [From L5R Website]
Starting Outfits. To the starting outfits, change: Toritaka from masterwork katana to katana, both Kitsu Outfits to "no Fire Spells," both Yogo Outfits to "no Air Spells," and add "no Fire Spells" to second outfit for Horiuchi and Iuchi families.
Cobra now end with the following text:
• Starting Outfit: (Choose one)
1. Two 2nd level divine pearls.
2. One 2nd level and six 1st level divine pearls.
Note: Naga shugenja employ pearls as ofuda instead of scrolls as Rokugani shugenja do. For the purposes of play, they also employ pearls as spell scrolls and cannot read divine scrolls that are not made as pearls.
Character Classes. In the Classes, the 2nd-level Courtier ability is changed to "Iron Will." It was previously "Bonus Feat." The ex-shugenja text becomes "...shugenja who gain levels in a new class (except prestige classes which require the ability to cast divine spells) may never again raise their shugenja level." The Ninja Reflex and Will save columns are backwards. Switch them.
Skills and Feats. Torture is not a skill. Delete it from every entry it is found in. "The Depths of the Void" feat gives +3 Void Points, not +2 (thankfully). "Depths of the Void" also does not require the character to be a samurai. Delete that entry on the Feats table. And taking "Depths of the Void" is the way to increase Void Points from "Void Use" (that was added to the end of the "Void Use" feat description). "Speed of the Kami" requires "Improved Initiative". Also, there is no "Multiple Schools" feat. Delete this entry whereever it is found and replace it with "Different School." The following text is added to the end of the "Way of the Crane" feat: "You may take feats that require Quick Draw as a prerequisite, but if you do ont have Quick Draw you may only use those feats with the Katana and Wakizashi."
Prestige Classes. The Dragon Swordmaster's daisho bonus is a Shield Bonus, not an Armor Bonus.
Spells and Spellcasting. Add "Casting Time: 1 Action" to the following spells: The Penetrating Drop, Poison of the Windspider, Slayer's Knives, Suitengu's Embrace, Tsunami, Walking the Way, and Wheel of Fortune. Add this spell to the Shugenja's spell list:
Path of the Scorpion
Necromancy (Water)

Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect: Ray

A bright green ray of energy arcs from your fingertips to strike the target. You must succeed with a ranged touch attack. If the spell is successful, the kami dramatically alter the target’s chi. The target’s Strength modifier to his attack rolls is temporarily replaced by his lowest ability modifier. This does not affect damage rolls, carrying capacity, or other applications of Strength.
If the target makes ranged attacks while affected by the spell, his Dexterity modifier to attack rolls is likewise replaced with his lowest ability modifier. Other applications of Dexterity are unaffected.
