L5R - Jade Legacy OOC thread

[Keith Valken Lionheart]

I don't think many of us have Jiujutsu as a trained skill, sadly. It would've been fun, and I thought the Akodo school taught it. I was wrong.  

[Raganui Minamoto]

Yea... well, hopefully Sozen can help him. I literally have NONE of the skills required by any of these competitions.  

[Rain Yupa]

Lore will require high Intelligence. Poetry, Awareness. Jiujutsu, Agility.

When in doubt, pick one where you have a good trait in that score.

EDIT: Just checked your sheet. My response: "... oh."

Also, edited in Sozen for ya.  

[Rain Yupa]

And, if you're truly in doubt, do whichever one would seem like the most fun.  

[Raganui Minamoto]

Juijitsu with 3... yea, I expect to be out first round, unless somehow my defense saves me.  

[Rain Yupa]

Here's a list of Lore skills in L5R:

Divination
Medicine
Spellcraft
Theology
EDIT: The Architectural Lore emphasis of the Engineering Skill
EDIT: The Battle Lore emphasis of the Battle Skill
Hunting
Know the School
Anatomy (Low skill if used for anything but Diagnosis)
Lore: Shadowlands (Low skill, even for Crab in this specific scene)
Underworld (Low skill, even for Kitsuki in this specific scene)

And of course, anything with the Lore tag before it.

Yeah, I meant to ask you, which trait does Lore [History] used, since the book says 'Varies', but if it uses Intelligence, I'm set biggrin  

[Rain Yupa]

Fun fact: The only magistrate here with a skill above Rank 5 is Kuni Raicho. That skill? Jiujutsu.

@ Seichiro signing up for Lore: I am disappoint.

So yes, you are set :3

Oh ******** that, Kuni is a b***h. I shall use my little brain to talk about HISTORY. Which reminds me: can I make s**t up when it comes to obscure Lore or should I stick with what's canon? If so, off to swim amidst the wiki!  

[Raganui Minamoto]

She'll beat down EVERYONE.

But yea, I figure, if Sozen will give him pointers, then after this competition, I'll probably slip a point into Juijitsu to represent gained knowledge from him and participation in the competition.  

[Plainsfox]

Doesn't Battle count as a lore skill as well? Heh. It also can be used with Go if you have the right empathis.

Both are up to the discretion of the GM.

Of course you can make stuff up! Canon never hurts, but that's more of a failsafe in case you can't think of anything else, IMHO.

It does! Thanks, I edited in Battle and Engineering. I forgot those two.
