Waiting for good news
The spring wind will carry me
A sparrow whistles

Komoru bows slightly to the officers, pulling his ho-ate off for the moment. "As you can see, this man shot himself. His gang appeared to be after the gem that was found, though for some reason he smashed it rather than take it. It was almost as though he was possessed when he did it. I couldn't say. Magic is not my art."
Blinking the spots from his eyes, Komoru takes stock of his situation. "Kogata and kitsune? Such strange people to meet at the train station." Komoru speaks well, but still holds his hand on his blade. He eyes the kitsune particularly hard, having seen her little disappearing stunt earlier. Such dishonorable behavior.
Komoru attempts to reach for the man as he realizes what he is going to do, but fails to stop him. The immense light forces him to back away and shield his eyes with his whole arm. As the light then fades, his attention is brought back to reality by a gunshot. The splattering blood manages to hit him somewhat, painting his navy blue o-yoroi with crimson spots. "Damn. I was too late."
Standing firm, hand on his sword hilt, Komoru says "I would suggest that you lay down your arms, foolish man, if you wish to live. Kindly leave the gem where you found it, and allow us to capture you."
Seeing his words have made little impact, Komoru sighs in frustration. What have we come to, that men are willing to risk their lives for a little coin? His eyes make quick work of the battlefield, imprinting its shape upon his mind. Without hesitation, he moves into the ticket station to confront the leader of these bandits.
Adding in the 5 hp from favored class, and I have 63 hp at fifth level. Hopefully this will allow me to survive some gunshots. The alias version of character is complete i think. I'll add the finishing touches to the google site later. Two last questions: One, does weapon expertise allow me to select feats like weapon specialization without having any fighter levels? Two, I'm assuming that Gloves of Arrow Snaring will allow me to snatch firearm bullets as well, given that the firearm rules allow someone using Deflect Arrows or Snatch Arrows to do the same to firearm bullets. Is this right?
Ok...don't know how I missed that.
Ok wow. Add in Con bonuses, max at first level=58 hp.
Patience was a skill Komoru had cultivated during many skirmishes. Waiting for just the right moment, whether to strike, retreat, or parley was something that was essential to being a samurai. Patience is not everlasting, however, and the long line to buy a ticket was beginning to finally take its toll on him. Days were better when we had nothing like these machines. Such devices seem only to increase the aggravation within our lives. Keeping a sigh within his mouth, he attempts to calm himself. His attempts are interrupted by a gunshot. As panic begins to ensue, he is witness to not only a group's attempt to take the train station, but another group's attempt to stop them. At least some people have some honor left in this world. Stepping forth, Komoru speaks loudly to all the bandits: "Hear me, dishonorable thieves! You face Nobasa Komoru, the Iron Crane, master of Flashing Wind style. If you value your lives, you will put down your arms and leave this place at once!"
Sweet. Here's some HP rolls.
Two questions: are we using the critical defense rules? If so, does my deadly iaijutsu thing become a bonus to the dc of the enemies check then? Oh, and i'm assuming that deadly iaijutsu replaces weapon expertise instead of mounted charge, seeing as samurai don't get mounted charge?
Not quite done yet, but here is the basic skeleton. I sent you an email a couple days ago, nortsbot@gmail.com. Was hoping to have some access to the full spread of house rules, as well as more info about the setting itself.
Have my alias ready here. I made some changes Deiros, reflected in the alias. Anyone have any other suggestions about what I should have ready in my Maester's bag? |
