Battle Tactics Sheet

Postby Rixy » Sun Aug 21, 2011 9:22 pm

Combat is both the most exciting and the most tedious part of any L5R game. Forum play in particular is plagued with delays and hazards like the dice roller breaking down at the worst possible time, freaky internet outages, and separate time zones. This game, we're going to try and schedule all battles in advance but we realize that for some players, work/life is unpredictable. We feel that shouldn't keep your character from participating.

Thus, we ask all players to fill out the following guideline to be used in their absence. Is this mandatory? No...but if you elect not to fill it out, you are giving the GM's permission to run your Character as they see fit in such instances. We will, of course, act as best we can to succeed at keeping you alive/achieving the objective (these two things may not be the same thing, based on what sort of character you're playing) but we'd prefer not to hear much moaning and wailing and gnashing of teeth if the worst happens afterward because 'You didn't play my guy right!' GM's are only human and the fact is we're likely to forget some aspects of a character if we're handling a lot of them and so even filling out part of this sheet will help everyone in the long run.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT KATA:
If you have one you prepare daily, even if you do not make a thread with it's preparation BE CERTAIN TO MARK IT IN YOUR SCHEDULE. If you fail to do so, you will not be considered to have prepared your Kata for the day. Also note that in some cases of inclement weather, a roll may be required to prepare one successfully. If this is the case, it will be part of that day's Weather.
