As we all know, Iaijutsu duels often appear to be a mess. I therefore want the cross referencing list for the Iaijutsu skill to be as complete as possible. So, I'd like to request that I be informed whenever a ruling with an impact on the dueling mechanics gets added to one of these school entries, that way I can add the necessary cross reference into the Iaijutsu skill entry. (Those Schools that explicitly mention Iaijutsu duels within the printed rules are already being cross referenced)

Their is two officials 3rd edition schools not listed here : the Emerald Magistrates and the Order of Heroes are in Imperial Herald.

If you search on the rpg forum somebody posted the order of heroes. I can copy and paste the Emerald Magistrate if you wanna.

Also, we should probably toss in the monastic orders from the Book of Air (and the ruling that they don't get family bonuses, which should probably get cross listed into an errata document for the Book of Earth)

We might want to put something in here dealing with SUP schools redone in 3Ed books thatcame out after the SUP's did. On a side note I may not be on line much in the near future as our computers hard drive took a dive and is no longer functional. I am typing this right now with my Wiimote and it is a pain in the ass. I will probably still check the forums but dont expect many posts. ;)

Looks Gacho isn't going to stop ;-)
