This page and the sub pages of this page will attempt to provide references to advantages that are found in the L5R RPG and provide either details of the advantage, when possible, or to provide full details of the advantage, when it is not a published advantage. Dis/Advantages help to provide the little quirks that make life interesting for characters. But too many spoil a character. It is never a good idea to have everyone in a group to have a major enemy, because as we all know, an enemy of one character in a group, is quickly an enemy of the entire group. :) Advantages
