Ni hao *polite bow*  May chilly earth and stones in our back be the most of our worries!  Alas, I fear we will have no such luck but then who does?  Who are we to fear? *strikes heroic pose*  As long as you keep the tea flowing, sagacious one, then I am content with any sustenance in my belly you may provide and count myself more fortunate than most.<br/><br/>But first I have to finish equipping myself!  So.... thanks so much for your help today Hairy and Thufir, and here is where I am at for everyone else.  I'll revise and write more detail for her background, but the outline is as Hairy suggested.  Here's where I am at in the tweaking.<br/><br/>Name:  (never named wind)<br/>Concept: Wu xia<br/><br/>Aspects:  14 pts.<br/>metal   3<br/>water   3<br/>fire   3<br/>wood   3<br/>earth   2<br/><br/>I had 4 for water, and 2 for fire but bumped it after reading about session tests that come with gifts/weaknesses.  Could you explain more about the session tests as the book describes in connection with the gifts/weaknesses?  I am dropping Breastplate of Bronze because of the big muscles ;p  Claws of the tiger has  1x /session can add fire value to damage caused by blade, so I bumped water from 4 to 3 to increase fire by one.<br/><br/>I like the following gifts, but am still sorting out what might happen with each,a nd if other skills make more sense that therefore eliminate the need for one of these.  Yes, that is steam coming out of ears but it's making more sense now.  Any and all input is more than welcome.<br/><br/>Gift<br/>claws of the tiger (1x /session can add fire value to damage caused by blade)<br/>luck of the hare 1x/session can redo game test, choose between results)<br/>sharp senses (1x/session redo perception test choose between results)<br/><br/>Weakness Curiosity of the rat<br/><br/>Skills coming tomorrow, I'm not understanding my own notes, numbers, and arrows so clearly it is time to call it a day ;).  I am really having fun with this so far and look forward to being ready for the game.<br/>
