Troll Lord Games

<t>A few things about the game:<br/> <br/> I was reading through the Way of the Ninja sourcebook today from the D20 version of the game and noticed that the book makes a distinct difference between Shinobi and Ninja. It states "Ninja are those that work directly for the clan. Their lives are dedicat...

I will try to post after work today (Tues).

I have to completely agree with our GM and Treebore. This makes totally more sense and I think is closer to the spirit of the way it is described in the core rulebook.

I agree.

<r>I posted on the Alderac forum again about my character's ability to fight a samurai directly in the thread I've been discussing L5R in and that guy that asked why I was able to multi school for free posted the following:<br/> <br/> "the 'cross-training' is indeed part of the Shinobi's description...

<t>How about levels? When do you level up, etc?<br/> <br/> I am going to start going over the rules again tonight and learning the R+K system again. I really would love to master the ruleset because this is a setting I would LOVE to roleplay in continuously.<br/> <br/> Also, how many points do we ge...

<t>That was fantastic and definitely rang a bell. I had a friend show me online a long time back when my Hida Crab Bushi was made and I was able to make toons. I haven't messed with rules since though and forgot how many points it costs to do things but last night I seemed to think it was x 3 for at...

Can anyone please post me to character creation guide or maybe explain the process in detail here for 3E? I would GREATLY appreciate it. Like how to spend points and costs for everything, etc.

Thanks in advance!

Very interesting. My scorpion "friends" may wish to know more about the inner workings of our sea dragon friends.

<t>Is the Sea Dragon Clan detailed in the core rulebook or is their acquisition and formation something that has recently occurred in the card game plot? I'd like ot read up on them. I think I will begin reading my books again tonight. I have the 3E rulebook, Emerald Empire, and Creatures of Rokugan...

/agree with Titania and Treebore completely.

I like the character as-is. I was just telling you what that guy said but I agree with your reasoning whole-heartedly.

<t>Is it the case that a ninja/shinobi character must also dual class in a way as a samurai? I understand this is realistic in Rokugan society and even in a historic context but is it a rule that must be adhered to in the game as well? As a Bushi I can accompany the group on normal samurai duties wh...

Then let's just make the name Bayushi Hattori.

Do you have to take the name of your samurai clan champion? So my first name would have to be Bayushi?

P.S. Feel free to build me the most butt-kicking totally ruthless Ninja you can based on the 80 point build and we can compare with my Hida Bushi to see what will serve me best. I really appreciate you running this and for all the help!

<t>I am really hoping to get into an ongoing long-term L5R campaign so I really hope this will be a hit and maybe that there would be a possibility of something more long-term. <br/> <br/> I was going to join a different online L5R campaign before but it never got off the ground due to the GM. I rol...

<t>Ooph. I used to be decently familiar with the 3E rules but I found character creation to be confusing as to how to know how many points you are using in a build (how to count the points), etc. Depending on when this campaign is set to begin I may not have enough time to properly get myself in ord...

So it will be the 3E core rules right? No chance on my idea of using the D20 version translated into C&C rules? hehe

<t>I am a HUGE L5R fan and would loe to play! I have a lot of the 3E books but have never gotten to play as yet. I'd seriously need to brush up on the rules badly though. I think it could be cool also to take the D20 version of L5R and simply translate it into C&C rules, which would be quite sim...

How can I get a copy of these wild west rules for C&C?
