L5R - Jade Legacy OOC thread

We're just starting. If we're lucky, some of us will make it to insight rank 2. Things will be different...I hope.

You make it sound like a bad thing plain.
One spree of luck making a sword and I make a legendary weapon : O

The measure of success isn't determined by how well you roll, it's determined by the number of raises you make.

Check page 190 for crafting things!

You will need 8 raises to be able to create a Legendary blade. That means, you'll need either a Void of 7, or a Craft: Weaponmaking skill of 6, and spend a void point for a free raise (and use the free raise you get for having the skill at at least rank 5). Not to mention, you'll need higher Intelligence so you can keep a number of dice to offset the ridiculously high TN of 50.

Not going to be easy!

The other two are closed events, no spectators?

*spends the duration of them investigating for CRIMINAL SCUM*

The only closed one is the Lore one, so nonparticipating friends can't shout out hints smile

Well, Naizen would probably be a big risk of blackmailing you. And I guess that could land Denbe with the Blackmail advantage, but...

Oh, so its advantageous for you to be blackmailed? I think I can arrange that smile

Quote:

I need something to do before I wind up making this character. For some reason my mind keeps stewing over the idea of creating a Crab whose life dream is to punch an Oni to death.

There's a Hida Wrestler Bushi school in Art of the Duel, page 28.

Alternatively, you could start with a Hiruma Scout, and take the Hiruma Grappler Path (page 31) and get a late start for Hida Wrestler, and be more of a stealth Oni puncher.

Or you could be part of the Badger clan.

lol

Someday, I will make that character. But today, I play Denbe. Who tries too hard to do every thing to likely ever get that good at one thing. So far I mostly thank exploding tens and some application of raises.

That's the beauty of L5R. You can increase skills if you want to be good at a couple very specific things, or you can increase your rings if you want to be good at many things smile

Denbe was trying to hit softer. Really he was. ;_____;  

[Plainsfox]

Well, there's only so much "Softer" you can hit in L5R.....unless you can make raises to aim your shot to do less damage?  

[Psychofish]

Actually, I could have dropped one of the 8s, probably both. But I'm more avoiding making raises (If I'd wanted him down I would have tried one, maybe two for damage and then dropped a die if it went too high) than trying to hit real soft. I'm just amused that I put in that flavortext, and then get double 8s.  

[Plainsfox]

That I did not know. *adds it to options to use*

You can keep your lowest dice. The game lets you whatever dice, not just the highest, unless you rolled mostly high :/
