Once we wrap things up in the warehouse, I'm thinking thats a good point to award XP (as if we'd finished a regular tabletop session). Generally speaking I award 3 points for everyone who has been there the whole time, 2 points to anyone who missed out some (in this case, just Yukimura, since he's new). I also give players the option of nominating others for a bonus point, for anything particularly impressive, cool, amusing or characterfull. Nominating multiple people is ok, if they've done stuff worthy of it.<br/><br/><br/>Also, I found a link off the L5R site to a fanzine with some interesting stuff in it. What do you think of these?<br/><br/>http://www.musha-shugyo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/l5r_musha-shugyo_fanzine-01.pdf<br/><br/>Low Skills<br/>Deceit<br/>Emphasis: Obiesaseru<br/>Obiesaseru: This Emphasis is a specialized form of intimidation, used only by members of the Imperial families, the Imperial Guards, or the Imperial Legions (including Emerald and Jade Magistrates on duty under the Emerald or Jade Champion). By appealing to the target's belief that the Imperial Legions are the best-trained samurai in the Empire, and that the entire Celestial Order stands behind them, a member of the Imperial House or someone with adequate status can freeze a samurai in histracks. The Imperial character must successfully make a Contested Willpower/Deceit (Obiesaseru) vs. the target's Willpower to freeze it for one round (the target can move and defend normally, but cannot approach or attack).<br/><br/>Raises can increase the duration or add targets. Against non-Rokugani, this works the same as Intimidation. You must have a token of Imperial authority in order to use Obiesaseru.<br/><br/>Mastery Abilities<br/>Rank 7: You gain a Free Raise for using Obiesaseru.<br/><br/>Rank 10: You may use Obiesaseru without a token of Imperial authority<br/>but doing so increase your TN by 5.<br/><br/>Honor Loss: Obiesaseru does not incur an Honor Loss if used for legitimate purpose by a member of the Imperial Guards or the Imperial Legions (including Emerald or Jade Magistrates, as stated above).<br/><br/>If anyone wishes to take this Emphasis, I think it is quite suitable for the game.
