Tsubute

  • Keywords : Small, Ninja
  • Damage rating: 1k1
  • Special rules: Craft: Craft: Explosives / Intelligence at TN 25, and requires access to gaijin pepper and alchemical supplies. Making nageteppo is a touchy business; failing to hit TN 10 when doing so results in a small explosion, inflicting 2k1 damage for smoke nageteppo. Standard smoke nageteppo are used to confuse enemies during an ambush or to cover a retreat. They are small and relatively fragile egg-shaped devices containing a mixture of gunpowder and alchemical substances. Throwing a nageteppo is a Simple Action. When they are broken (either by accident, crushing, or most commonly by being thrown against a hard surface) the contents ignite and emit a thick cloud of choking white smoke. The smoke covers an area roughly 15’ diameter and obscures all vision within (those inside the smoke are considered to be Blind). The smoke normally lasts five Rounds before it disperses, although it can be blown away in a single Round by a strong wind. If a smoke nageteppo directly strikes a person, the burning smoke charge inflicts 1k1 damage per Round for two Rounds (or until extinguished with dousing, smothering, etc).

Nageteppo (Smoke) [pg 180 IH]

  • Keywords : Small, Ninja
  • Damage rating: 1k1
  • Special rules: Craft: Explosives / Intelligence at TN 25, and requires access to gaijin pepper and alchemical supplies. Making nageteppo is a touchy business; failing to hit TN 10 when doing so results in a small explosion, inflicting 3k2 damage for incendiary nageteppo. Incendiary nageteppo are somewhat larger and more awkward to throw than their smoke-making counterparts. They are usually used to ignite fires during surprise attacks or raids—for example, shinobi who are targeting an enemy supply dump will bring incendiary nageteppo. They are similar in design to smoke nageteppo, but are larger and the gunpowder/alchemical mixture inside is designed to explode and burn fiercely rather than merely emitting smoke. Throwing a nageteppo is a Simple Action. When an incendiary nageteppo is broken the contents ignite violently and spray outward, igniting everything within 5’. Someone who is directly hit by an incendiary nageteppo will take 3k2 damage per Round for three Rounds (or until the fire is doused/smothered). Someone who is caught in the spray radius takes 1k1 damage per Round instead. The fire from an incendiary nageteppo is hot enough to ignore 3 points of Reduction.

Hunting (Traps)

Pitfall [pg71 GC]

  • Damage rating: 1k1 per 10ft plus 3k3 if spiked
  • Special rules: tn15 base, tn 20 with spikes, Opponents may make a Perception Roll to see the trap. The TN of this roll is equal to the amount by which the trap’s creator exceeded the Hunting (Traps) TN to create it in the first place. Falling into a pitfall inflicts appropriate falling damage (1k1 for every ten feet), plus an additional 3k3 Wounds if stakes are present. Injury from stakes can also cause infection if they are dirty, and ruthless ambushers will deliberately smear the stakes with filth to enhance this possibility

Pongi Sticks [pg71 GC]

  • Keywords : Small
  • Damage rating: 2k1
  • Special rules: tn15, Opponents may make a Perception Roll to see a pongi stick. The TN of this roll is equal to the amount by which the trap’s creator exceeded the Hunting (Traps) TN to create it in the first place. Stepping on a pongi stick inflicts 2k1 Wounds and the target is Lame until the Wounds heal. This injury can also cause infection if the pongi stick was dirty, and ruthless ambushers will deliberately smear the stake with fi lth to enhance this possibility.

Rope Catch [pg71 GC]

  • Keywords : Small
  • Damage rating: 1k1 or 2k2
  • Special rules: tn20, Opponents may make a Perception Roll to see a rope catch trap. The TN of this roll is equal to the amount by which the trap’s creator exceeded the Hunting (Traps) TN to create it in the first place. Once the trap is sprung, a Refl exes Roll at TN 30 can avoid the catch. Once captured, a target is likely helpless, although an extremely acrobatic victim may be able to reach upward to cut himself loose (GM’s discretion). Falling from a freed rope catch may cause damage (usually 1k1 or 2k2).

Tiger Trap [pg71 GC]

  • Keywords : Small
  • Damage rating: 4k4
  • Special rules: tn25, Detecting the hidden trip-wire of a tiger trap is usually quite difficult, typically requiring a Perception Roll at TN 25. When the trap is triggered, the target must succeed on a Reflexes Roll (TN 30) or suffer 6k6 damage from the spikes slamming into the body. Heavy armor will reduce the damage to 4k4. Much as with other spike traps, the spikes may cause infection by driving dirt and filth deep into the body.

Crafting Extraordinary Weapons

Skilled weaponsmiths are capable of creating unusual and high-quality items… assuming they have the proper materials, equipment, and time. Weapons crafted by the basic rules in the L5R 4th Edition Core Rulebook conform to the normal weapon stats in the L5R rules and are considered to be of “Average” quality. Weapons of higher quality are said to be “Excellent”; such weapons possess special properties that set them apart.
To create an “Excellent” weapon, the regular Crafting rules are used. However, the cost of materials and the koku value of the weapon are both tripled. This means an Excellent Wakizashi will have a value of 45 Koku, an excellent Naginata will have a value of 30 Koku, and so forth. (Use this value when determining the base TN for Crafting the weapon.)
A smith must have a Craft: Weaponsmithing Skill Rank of at least 7 to create an Excellent weapon. A Kaiu or Tsi smith may create an Excellent weapon with a Skill Rank of at least 5.

A smith who creates an Excellent weapon may call Raises to confer one Special Quality on the weapon. However, failure on the Crafting roll means the weapon is wholly ruined and useless; the smith must try again. A list of Qualities and the associated Raises is provided below. Characters trained in the Tsi or Kaiu schools receive one Free Raise for the purpose of conferring Special Qualities.

Weapon Special Qualities:

  • Balanced: The wielder gains +1k0 on attack rolls using this weapon. Raises: 4
  • Radiant: This weapon counts as Jade for the purpose of attacking Invulnerable targets. Raises: 6
  • Signature: This weapon bears a unique signature stamp, identifying it with its creator. Raises: 2
  • Swift: The wielder gains +5 to his Initiative score while using this weapon. Raises: 4
  • True: This weapon decreases the target’s Reduction by the wielder’s Strength. Raises: 6
  • Unbreakable: This weapon cannot be broken. Raises: 5

Crafting Sacred Weapons

A smith of a clan that possesses a Sacred Weapon (as per the Advantages in the L5R 4th Edition Core Rulebook, page 152-153) may attempt to make one using a Craft: Weaponsmithing roll. The smith must create the appropriate Excellent Quality weapon with 7 Raises (6 Raises for a Kaiu smith).

A samurai may only attempt to create a Sacred Weapon of his own clan. A Crane can only attempt to make Kakita Blades, a Crab may only attempt to make Kaiu Blades, and so forth.

Rokugani Firearms

Rokugani firearms can be incorporated into many different campaigns, whether or not the GM wants to take things as far as they are presented in Iron Rokugan. In feudal Japan, simple firearms were imported from the Chinese as early as the 1200s, and matchlock guns were common during the Sengoku period of 1467 to 1604. Even Miyamoto Musashi mentions firearms in his text on Japanese warfare and philosophy, “The Book of Five Rings”, saying that the gun was unrivaled on the battlefield until swords were drawn. Even though they were relatively common and helped decide many battles, Japanese firearms did not hold a predominant role in warfare, and were often considered a secondary weapon to the Yumi due to their limited range, slow reload time, and poor accuracy. Skilled archers and swordsmen were far more common than skilled gunners; techniques had to be developed to get the most out of firearms, and they were usually placed in the hands of lower class troops. On the other hand, at the battle of Nagashino the Japanese warlord Oda Nobunaga all but annihilated the cavalry forces of the Takeda Clan with a strategy that relied on volley fire with muskets.

GMs who wish to incorporate firearms into a non-Iron Rokugan setting can do so via an Imperial Edict calling upon the Great Clans to reproduce the firearms of foreign powers while still maintaining the ban on trade and communication with gaijin nations. To better re-create the climate of early Japanese firearms, it is suggested that only the Kakiyari, Teppo, and Bajozutsu be incorporated, and that only the Bajozutsu should have the Samurai keyword. Rokugani firearms require three Complex Actions to load (or reload). When fired, they ignore the effects of armor on Armor TN and Reduction. Although unspecified, GMs might rule that the user’s Perception is added to the gun’s damage roll, much like Strength for most weapons.

Teppoudo (Intelligence)

Sub-type: Weapon Skill
Emphases: Fire-Lance, Hand-Cannon, Bajozutsu, Teppo
Description: Teppoudo is the skill of maintaining and firing a Rokugani (non-gaijin) firearm. Taught alongside the traditional arts of Kenjutsu and Kyujutsu, the art of Teppoudo places a great emphasis on mindfulness, calm deliberate intentions, and careful breathing. It is just as much a practice of zenlike focus as it is a test of rote and memory. The samurai does not merely pull the trigger- he pushes the bullet.
Mastery Abilities:

  • Rank 3 – Gain +1k0 to all damage rolls when firing a Rokugani firearm
