Hello!
I'm almost completely new to the game - especially when it comes to the FFG edition of L5R. If you don't mind, I have a question...
The rules state then, when Unmasking, a character can do something emotional - shout, offend someone, storm out in a huff, kiss a lover passionately etc. The rules also state (if I understand them correctly) that a character can Unmask only when Compromised. So, does it mean that, if my character isn't Compromised emotionally, I can't have him / her behave in a non-stoic way, just by choice?
I realize that narrative consequences for inappropriate behaviour could be serious, but can't a character just choose to disregard propriety, regardless whether he / she is in emotional turmoil or not?
