L5R - Jade Legacy OOC thread

I'm just saying.

The one crab clan gets +1 STR. Combine that and large with an ono, and the Akodo Bushi's School's Way of the Lion. If I'm reading Way of the Lion right, just by having the first rank in the school you reduce enemies TNtbH by either ignoring their armor bonus, or else you gain a free raise.

Because sometimes, you have to say to yourself "I want to see if I can do over 100 damage to this guy".

Poor Grandpa Hida. Still, didn't know Denbe was an unarmed combat machine.

Grampa Hida is exhilarated by challenge. He should be with us as we try to greet Sayako-san.  

[Keith Valken Lionheart]

Psychofish, the Matsu family also gets +1 STR biggrin

Either way, you just beat a huge Crabby dude. The Hare Clan shall now henceforth be called Vorpal Bunny clan. Only the Holy Grenade of Antioch can defeat them.

What? You didn't read the story that Psychofish wrote? Obviously, he's been getting to the good pastures.

Every time it's brought up I get more sure Rain will find a way to get me the missing limb disadvantage for a foot eventually. XD

Poor Grandpa Hida. Still, didn't know Denbe was an unarmed combat machine.

The funny thing is, he really isn't. Or, not completely. >.>

Denbe has 4 agility, which makes for a 4k4 to hit on both kenjutsu and jiujutsu. He has 2 ranks in each, so technically his sword skill and unarmed skill are the same in most regards. And you saw how he got his a** handed to him twice over in the kenjutsu competition.

The only things more in his favor for jiujutsu are that his armor was only light armor, and that he has the Hands of Stone advantage, which I mostly grabbed for flavor and one of the later Hare School abilities.


To be honest, his unarmed asskicking is likely all about luck- my Jiujutsu rolls have been very solid, and since jiujutsu usually does less damage than kenjutsu, his lower earth ring and reflex don't cost him a match as easily. That, and my luck was rotten in kenjutsu rolls.



...or, y'know. The fact that most samurai specialized their favored mode of combat more than him, and almost no one in the tourney is apparently that skilled at jiujutsu.  

[Plainsfox]

I think it's the latter. It was the same way Kojiro won the Archery tournament.  

[Rain Yupa]

Here's a picture of Sayoko that my ex drew for me. There might be more pictures coming. Check the first post of Act I for links!  

[Plainsfox]

Huh. That Sayako looks like a cross between what I imagined Sayako and Gemmei. Interesting.  

[Plainsfox]

I think Kojiro's going to go to sleep after this ><  

[Mongooseh]

Too much diplomacy for one day? Don't worry if you need someone to talk you to sleep Kagae can bore you with siege knowledge.  

[Agent Sinistra]

A quick head's up while I remember it- between now and Dec. 14, I will be swamped with projects to work on. As a result, I'm probably going to be a bit slow to respond. sweatdrop

You've been warned, and now I'm going to go back to banging my head against my keyboard practically recoding everything to make sure I fit all these stupid and newly introduced project requirements. -_-

Me? Stressed? What makes you think that?  

[Plainsfox]

Don't let it get you down, Sinestra!  

[Plainsfox]

GO ZANZEN! Whittle that Mantis down to size!  

[Raganui Minamoto]

Wee, finally hit.
