Whilst I don't encourage my player to loot the dead. I do allow it. After all it's a perfectly good way of re-stocking ammo. The group actually polices itself when it comes to loot which pleases me immensely. For example, a few missions ago the group managed to down an chaos marine. leaving behind a lager bolter and a slightly odd looking power sword. The guardsman made a be-line for the -
Lootings less of a problem if the acolytes are acutually paid well. Beyond that, just let the players know that the level of detail you apply in expenses will be proportionate to the level they want to put into looting. If they loot every last little item, make sure they're charged for every last item of a meal (+tips), every service at their lodging (+tips), every vox-call they place, etc. Then the kicker -
When i created my first genesys campaign and introduced it to my play group we did a prequel run kinda like what you where thinking for your one shot. What i did was allow players to come up with a concept for the setting and then i made a small character stat block like a card with basic stat a sample spell and equipment but not a full char sheet. I wrote out all the -
I've got to admit that I fail to see the problem. Firstly, Mono is not some miraculous stuff. It's readily available for everyone who wants his melee attacks to compare to modern guns. Then, there are quite a few legitimate opponents for acolytes they can't loot profitably - a lot of those are in the Disciples supplement. That Ogryn is dangerous because of its extreme strength, not because of their highly sophisticated meat -
What do you think about modifying those Techniques so that they require an extra Advantage for each one of their effects (2 for entail the weapon, 3 for immobilize in Coiling Serpent; 2 the Strife attack for Peltling Hail Style)? -
Nothing is broken when everything is. Everybody plays this game differently, and I mean it. Just enjoy the game, do cool stories. -
For Coiling Serpent, I would say that each * spent increases the TN on actions using the weapon, rather than saying it can't be used. That way there's still a chance to hit, and the target still has opportunity options. Pelting Hail, on the other hand, is just ridiculous, especially if you use the whole thing about Wargear causing extra Strife. That means a Daikyu would just dump 7 Strife per shot, ignoring TN -
Yes, that is a powerful one, as it automatically does its effects on subsequent rounds. -
I have used range bands. They work better in L5R than in some games (assuming you don't think about them too much). I think they work better in ArM5 tan in L5R5. But in either case, IME, the less attention you pay to range bands, the better they work. -
See? This statement right here. Range bands don't work. -
I mean, I'm sure you can do it that way too - it's just more effort than it's worth. If you keep it mostly as theater of the mind, with a simple map - it has worked just fine for us. -
I highly doubt a street thug would require the approval of their daimyo to initiate the formal resolution of grievances through ritualized martial conflict. Sure, there could be an unsanctioned duel between samurai who are bitter rivals, but the formal procession still exists to maintain a semblance of honor. Range bands aren't required in a duel with melee weapons because leaving is tantamount to forfeiture and we can safely assume opponents are tethered together -
Technically, there are no 2-person skirmish, of course, every group can rule otherwise. but Emphasis on the last phrase. Not all conflict duels are formal duels. -
Makes me think of the GW Kharn novel. "You killed him. Remember?’ Ruokh’s eye twitched. ‘That was a fair fight,’ he growled. ‘It was to first blood,’ said Dreagher. ‘I only hit him once,’ said Ruokh. ‘You decapitated him.’ ‘There was a lot of first blood,’ admitted Ruokh." -
Make the increased Deadliness of a finishing blow optional. Problem solved. If you use that increased Deadliness, it's pretty obvious to everyone that you were striking to kill. That also solves the issue with Deceitful Strike, which is that there's no mechanical "trying to kill" vs "not trying to kill". Unless that increased Deadliness becomes optional or you add some houserules to the Iaijutsu techniques, it's basically impossible to have an Iaijutsu

As an example: Rings and picking approaches So the shorthand is:

Absolutely fine.

If the players are looting just for cash, then all the above suggestions are great. Initially with my group I am assigned weapons and equipment by the mission, any other requests need to be filled out in triplicate. One the other hand, if I were playing an alcolyte, as the situation allowed and the equipment was right (unmarked and untainted/corrupt) I would loot to set up a weapons and equipment cache on just about every -

Thanks a lot for the help. I think I'll start with An eye for an eye. -
I remember asking you jh about those images, if you still had those? -
Agreed. The other thing to consider is if Skaven are revealed too early in campaigns, they are kind of like an enormous spoiler. jh
-
Yep, agreed. -
Sorry no, the images are gone.
