The Oni’s Eye
Being a Scorpion Clan player, I was very disappointed during the Race for the Throne as our clan consistently refused temptation after temptation. Mind you I’d much rather have our clan ensure that we or someone we trust take the throne which is exactly what has happened, but over the course of the race, my Crab clan friend received some amazing temptation rewards that frankly left me jealous. Well at the end of the race, the Scorpion do indeed get a temptation reward, The Oni’s Eye.
The Oni’s Eye was written about in fiction on the L5R website over a year ago (Sept 12, 2009). It was alluded that no one could hide from the Oni’s Eye and anyone that knew the Eye well enough could see anything and everything. Of course this is exactly the kind of thing the Scorpion can use like no other clan. I got mine in the mail today. It is a unique item that costs 2 and can only attach to a Scorpion personality. As a limited action the player may bow the personality to randomly reveal a card in a target enemy’s hand. That player may then loose honor equal to the focus cost of that card or discard it.
I think the wait was worth it.
