This page and the sub pages of this page will attempt to provide references
to paths that are found in the L5R RPG and provide either details of the
path, when possible, or to provide full details of the path, when it is
not a published path.
Paths are a new introduction to L5R, introduced in
Way of the Samurai. They provide an alternative to the traditional climb
up the 5 ranks of one's school. They can be used to interject a rank between
one's school techniques, like in the case of each clans' Elite Guard Path,
or they can provide a way to transition a character between two different
schools. Each path has an entry requirement, that state what school and
school rank you must be to enter the dojo. Likewise, each path has a list
of schools that a character may attend after they have finished their
training in the Path. As long as the character follows the Path of Entry
and Egress (exit) there is no extra incurred cost (i.e. you don't have to buy
Multiple Schools). Paths generally have had famous founders generally who
have made special arrangements between the schools.
