Questions unclear from Core

By murshra, in Legend of the Five Rings: The Roleplaying Game

First as the fluff made mention to after the initial schooling some leave or dojo encourage the "student" to leave and becoming ronin to temper themselves before returning to clan and duties. How is this done, as Ronin is a school and so is the dojo?

Second when it comes to opportunities, some techniques have a 1, 1+ and 2+. If I were to have and spend 3 do I get all opportunities as I have made the threshold or I do choose what event occurs?

Clan Samurai may take a Musha Shugyo, or aWarrior’s Pilgrimage, where they live a year as a Ronin. Most go back to the comparatively easy life of being Clan samurai after that.

The Worldly Ronin school is more of a “ school of hard knocks” for those who did not go the way of their Clan or were born Ronin and wanted to make it on their own.

When you roll opportunity, you divide them across the eligible options.

So, say you roll 3 opportunity and 3 strife (the success/failure is irrelevant to this example), and you want to use the 1+ reduce Strife and the 1+ subtlety opps, you can (pick one line)...

  • Cancel three strife but be obvious to anyone looking
  • Cancel 2 strife, but be somewhat subtle
  • Cancel 1 strife and be fairly subtle
  • Cancel no strife and be extremely subtle

What subtlety means in mechanics is pretty vague, tho'.

You distributeur opportunity among thé different u want to tricher. But each die Can only be used once . Assuming u have 3 opportunities for a check that Can trigger for one, 2, 2+, and 3. U Can:

Trigger 1 and 2, or,

2+, or,

3

But u cannot trigger 1 and 2 and 2+ and 3.
