I'm GMing a L5R game and seeing the NPC sheets, I noticed that their skill groups with some rank are colored with the same colors of the rings:
Artisan - Void - black,
Martial - Earth - green,
Scholar - Fire - orange,
Social - Air - purple,
Trade - Water - blue.
First, I thought that it represented their favored stance/approach for each skill group, but then, comparing different sheets, I saw that those colors were always in the same order.
Is there any particular reason why they used those colors for the skill groups, like representing a favored ring?
Or you simply choose any ring/approach/stance every check (according to their behavior and approach description, of course) just like PCs do?
