    I'm whipping up a character for a game, and I need some thoughts on custom Advantages and Disadvantages.  Backstory is that his mother is a minor Daidoji daimyō, while his dad is a geisha in Otosan Uchi. His ninjō is that he wants to earn enough money to buy his pops' contract and release him from servitude.

    Would his illegitimate parentage be a proper Adversity? He's not any kind of outcast, though he's also not the favored son in his household. What would be a good mechanic for such an Adversity?

    I also think his Passion is for music.  The second bullet point on that Advantage description is pretty easy, recovering 3 Strife when engaging in music in some manner.  However, I'm not sure what to do with the first, descriptive bonus it would give.

    1. Base it upon the rules for Adopted Peasant? (Emerald Empire, pg 245.)

    2. I'd say knowledge of different musical traditions and familiarity with what feelings certain pieces are usually meant to evoke.

    Ah ok. Well... No clue if they will become a great clan, but I'd say it is.. possible?  We will have to see how the story unfolds!

    The mistake in the curriculum is about technique redundancies. Somewhat an easy fix. It is just mind boggling it was never done, especially considering it is a PDF and not in print format.

    Thanks! I'll have to read through the tables and check.

    I think the Phoenix book having the Centipede Clan was a foregone conclusion.

    But on the other hand, I would have said the same about the Crane book with Sparrow, so... Maybe they didn't want to have two new Minor clans back to back. Plus, adding Centipede gives the Mantis Great Clan another one of their families.

    I might have to abandon my dreams of the Mantis never becoming a Great Clan... 😭

    Yup,

    Here's my Census . The tab named 'Positions' has all of the Daimyo and Champions that we know of - missing only the Seppun now, IIRC.

    ...I can't possibly thank you enough, Tonbo Karasu-sama! 😲 This is perfect!

    Let me know if you ever need a favor, an alibi, or a kidney.

    But to have any chances to inflict damages you must first hit the target. That means a successful attack roll. Then and only then you add all the success left after cancelling to the weapon base damage. If there's no success left after cancelling it's a failed attack roll. That means you failed to hit the target, it's a miss. That's RAW. Damages are done only on a successful attack roll, or hit.

    A failed attack roll might just as well be described as an attack that hit the target, but failed to damage her because of her awesome armor, impressive fortitude, or something else.

    Assuming this is true, the important point is att the end of the text:

     

    Quote

    A company spokesperson declined comment on the Fantasy Flight Interactive shutdown or the RPG division layoffs, but did confirm that all four of the previously announced RPG products planned for the next few months, including Genesys: Secrets of the Crucible, L5R RPG: Sins of Regret, L5R RPG: Path of Waves, L5R RPG: Gamemat, and Star Wars: Age of Rebellion: Starships and Speeders will be released, and that "…all three product lines are still ongoing."

    Thanks for the replies!

    The problem for me is that I don't always trust FFG to write the rules as they are intended to be used (even though I love the system). I know that many (most?) powers spell out that the basic effect can be activated only once, but unfortunately I can't really be certain that this means that powers lacking such a limitation can be activated more than once.

    That said, this pretty much confirms what I suspected - and wanted :) - to be right. I owe you.

    This is probably a stupid question, but I really can't find the answer for some reason...

    Enhance basic power reads: "When making an Athletics check, the Force user may roll an Enhance power check as part of the pool. The user may spend [FORCE POINT] to gain [SUCCESS] or [ADVANTAGE] (user’s choice) on the check."

    If I generate more than one Force Point, can I spend them all to gain more successes, advantages, or combinations thereof?

    Thanks in advance!

    Science Fiction Bokhandeln (bookstore) in Gothenburg. 

    You can see the availability here:

    https://www.sfbok.se/produkt/collapse-of-the-republic-194753

    To have a book not available for post order or in the other cities is super unusual. I wonder if they made a super special deal to have the book exclusively in Gothenburg or if it was a mistake.

    Vad i helvete... That is really wierd... Almost makes me consider getting someone in GB to pick it up and mail it to me, but I'll try to wait for my ordered copy to arrive instead. 🤔
