Please everyone, clam down and think before you post. It always pays to be nice and reasonable.
If you are low on honour and want to restore some, and have some heirs, you can always commit seppuku, which will restore some honor to your family.
i dont like this... not only its hardly logical(it was quite usual that if daimyo commits seppuku, so does his heirs), but probably can be used as expliot: dont like your daimyo? kill him and get his son to power...
And please people, have some respect, don't call it 'kill/off himself', call it ritual or ceremony and people would still understand what you are talking about.
Assuming he actually agrees to it. If he doesn't then well he won't like you much and you have even more problems.

Eh?!! i thought the player is playing head of family in sengoku?
I'll echo the others here: There is a danger here of seppuku turning into a gamey exploit. [snip]
(Perhaps some of the heirs and retainers spontaneously join their lord in death - it sounds plausible given Japanese culture and adds a random element.)
I think you can player as a lesser land holder in the family, too. Perhaps that is what King is referring too? In which case, does that imply we can ask our overlord to kill himself for the good of the clan? That just screams of exploits, unless it's nigh impossible except in direst need.
Just a quick question. Does Christianity have any weight on seppuku, since suicide is strongly discouraged in that belief system? And do you have a choice of who serves as your assistant, or second, in the ritual?
