The Order of Isashi

[[Category: Legend of the Five Rings]]
Return to [[Ronin Schools|Rōnin Schools]]

Honor: 2.0

Outfit: Same as Traditional Priest, but without the armor.

Benefit: +1 Perception

Skills: Calligraphy, Herbalism, Medicine, Meditation, any 3 skills.

Beginning Spells: ''As with all of the other original Rōnin Schools, there are none listed. Considering the Trait Bonus, and their Technique, 3 Water, 2 Earth and 1 Air seem reasonable.''

'''Technique: Isashi's Gift'''

When casting a spell which heals or negates damage, poison or illness, gain 2 Free Raises.

==Discussion==
''I think a good option for 2nd/3rd Ed would be replace the Free Raises with an Affinity, or Affinity and a Free Raise. An appropiate Deficency could be for "''any spell which actively tries to wound or kill a creature''". This would include ''Jade Tomb'' and perhaps the elemental weapons, but I think that dissuasive spells like ''Castle of Fire'' and ''Evil Ward'' wouldn't be affected. ¿Any opinion?'' --[[User:Mirumoto Ookami|Ookami, the White Wolf]]

Combat Reflexes

[[Advantages_and_Disadvantages|(return to Advantages and Disadvantages)]]

==Combat Reflexes Modifications==

''(Mortaneus' Replacement for 3e)''

'''Combat Reflexes (3 points)'''

: This advantage grants +5 to the total on all initiative rolls.

==Discussion==
''Just noting my opinion that I'm sick of hearing about Combat reflexes. ;)'' --[[User:Daermon|Daermon]] 15:15, 15 Jul 2005 (PDT)

: ''Thus my reason for the change. It's simple, easily understood, makes the advantage still worth the points, and doesn't screw Kakita.'' --Mortaneus

''Sorry, my reply came off more hostile than I intended. I apologize for that. And, to be honest, this looks like one of the few reasonable changes I've yet to see. However, how could it grant a Free Raise when Initiative doesn't have a TN?'' --[[User:Daermon|Daermon]] 19:18, 15 Jul 2005 (PDT)

: ''It's fine. :) A free raise on a roll simply grants a +5 to the total, in the absence of anything else, like a TN.'' --Mortaneus

''Why not simply say +5 or +10 to TN then?'' --[[User:Daermon|Daermon]] 23:13, 15 Jul 2005 (PDT)

: ''Consistency? Hmm....true. Changed.'' --Mortaneus

''Erm... we have Swift (cost +3) that grants +1k1 to Initiative rolls; then we have this CR (cost +3) that grants +5 to Initiative rolls. ¿Redundancy, anyone?''
''I'd either rule it as some kind of upgrade for Swift, something like this:''
:'''Combat Reflexes (6 points)'''
::This Advantage grants a +1k1 to Initiative rolls. Also, on Tides of Battle you get a +1k0 to your rolls.
::Combat Reflexes overrides Swift, and its cost is reduced to 3 points when replacing that Advantage.
''¿Do you think it sounds reasonable?'' --[[User:Mirumoto Ookami|Ookami, the White Wolf]]
