Unfortunately the character has long died so I don't have a save. But if I run into it again, I will share the save file then.

Made a spreadsheet summarizing the ladder dumps + comp winner for scores etc at a glance.

In-progress or quit characters have been skipped.
Tried roughly guessing turncounts, which will be very inaccurate if time stops are involved. (The ladder "turncount" column corresponds to play time)

This variant seems pretty good. An insane number of races/classes/player characters and the reflavoring works well overall.

Do you know how resistances and weaknesses stack for different classes stack? I'm playing a crow-tengu shugenja, and tengu get a weakness to holy attacks, but shugenja eventually get holy resistance. Do they cancel out or does one override the other, or what?

Resistances and vulnerabilities stack; you'll take less damage than if you'd been neutral to holy, but more compared to being simply resistant without a vulnerability. To be more specific: Crow-Tengu takes 33% extra damage from holy attacks, being resistant cuts the damage in half; you'll end up taking 66.5% damage.

[Van]

Cool. I take it that personal resistances are essentially treated as equipment resistances, eg holy resistance from a class won't stack with holy resistant armor? And thank you for the translation.

[Cryomaniac]

Yes, class/race resistance won't stack with resistance obtained from equipment.

Some typos and translation issues:

There's a unique enemy named Hong Meirin, but when you see her at the Scarlet Devil Mansion Gate her name is spelled Hong Meiling instead. The latter seems to be what most translations in other games go with.

The Logrus Master and Friends has a line that starts with "They're perform suspicious rituals"

One of the rumors contains the line "He's unbelievable powerful for a dark elf."
