Changing systems and I need help
hey guys i am changing my game to L5R and i got the book from a friend. I went through the index and could not make heads or tails of any of the stats... i would appreciate it if someone would give me a crash course in GMing a L5r game and teaching others how to play in one.
SpoilerA Fighter/Paladin will just hack you to bits
A Wizard/Sorcerer will just blow you up with a spell
A Rogue/Ranger/Monk will just kill you in your sleep
A Cleric/Druid will just squash you after buffing himself
A Bard will slowly twist your ethics, corrupt your morals, and make you do vile acts just for the chance to face him. When you fight him, he will have your family and friends fighting for him. For he wields the deadliest weapon against you and that is, his word against yours.

Re: Changing systems and I need help
The basics of the L5R system is XkY... roll X number of dice (d10s, IIRC), and keep (k) Y. If I have a 5k3, I would roll 5d10, but I would only keep the best 3. It increases my odds of getting a good roll, but it doesn't give me all of them.
This is from memory; my ex got that book.The Cranky Gamer

Re: Changing systems and I need help
You add your Strength (which is a substat of Water) to non-kept dice for weapon damage.
No offense, but as a GM shouldn't you read the book thoroughly from start to the end? That's usually the best way of learning a new system.
