Re: Chapter 8 - The Lion March
[Private to Kaze no Kage: LOL! I suppose now's a good time to tell you I was planning on raising her Void to 5 ...]
Silently, ever so silently, Sakura drew a scroll from her satchel and gently clutched it in her hand. Then, ever so reverently, she drew the hidden Crystal Wakizashi from its place and put it upon her lap. That the Hidden Darkness would act so openly, and in the full sight of Lady Sun, told Sakura much. This city was that important to it? Was she that important to it?
It made no difference.
"There is no failure" she whispered as she began casting her spell, "only success or death."
[Casting Commune, Void Dragon. One free raise from using the scroll; spending a void (free raise). Let's shoot for three called raises (TN 30).
Made the roll, and to spare ... I hope (LOL!): Commune made with more than 10 extra giving her 6 raises total.
Subtle Casting was 43 plus a free raise (Dojo bonus).]
[Private to Kaze no Kage: I'm guessing it's a Void based roll.
Question -- Do you use the optional rule for "Heroic Casting"? That is, by giving up their lives in the casting of a spell, a Shugenja can perform miraculous deeds (essentially, they can have virtually unlimited raises, but it has to be "dramatically correct")? Of course, that's only important if her commune fails ... LOL!
