![]() ![]() Unfortunately, this falls short of the 20 required to identify the effect. Our player rolls a 9ė, and 3 on his d10s. The GM declares the difficulty of identifying a lingering magical effect as 20. He has a 3k2 for Spellcraft (Int) checks. Intelligence is the stat associated with Meditation. The stat associated with the skill then determines how many of these rolls to keep (Roll and Keep, get it?).įor example, let’s say that our character, Otobe, has 3 skill ranks in Spellcraft. A character’s skill determines how many d10s to roll. TN represents the difficulty or complexity of the task (similar to the DC in D&D 4E). The essence of the Roll and Keep system is the target number (TN) set by the GM. ![]() My reading of the mechanics of the Roll and Keep system appear to support this, but I could be wrong. The first aspect of character creation that took me by surprise was that stats do not seem as important as skill ranks. I’ll make some observations of things that surprised me or things that I really liked or disliked. This post will not cover character creation in detail, nor will it go over all of the mechanics. This will be Corey’s first foray as a gamemaster (GM), and his excitement is evident. It was also a wonderful opportunity to branch out a bit from my D&D-centric world.Ĭorey (the younger brother-in-law) will be the GM, and John and I will be the players. They both like D&D, but after seeing this new edition of Legend of the Five Rings, I thought they might enjoy it more. They’re both fascinated with feudal Japan (the younger one in particular). I bought my brothers-in-law the fourth edition Legend of the Five Rings sourcebook in PDF form from DriveThruRPG for Christmas. ![]()
