Put more skill points into etiquette and sincerity (deception). Your high starting awareness means that a point in Reflexes is a good idea to increase your Air ring. Illusions spells usually come from this ring, and you get a free raise on those. Also, reflexes increase your initiative and let you use a bow (put a point or two in kyujutsu), which is a good non-spell combat option. For your starting water spell, pick up Path To Inner Peace, a strong healing spell that you will need to use a lot. Some setting and roleplaying tips: Shugenja are rare and valuable (about 1 in 1000 samurai), which means that you expected to preserve your own life a bit more than other samurai.

You have a connection to the elements (usually focusing on one, which I believe these days is Air). You're a scholar, kind of mystical, and definitely spiritual. As an air shugenja, you'll use spells to aid in spying, sneaking, and trickery. Mechanics wise, the air and void rings should be your top focus. That makes you intelligent, had as piss to hit, and increases your available daily spells. Skills really depend on how you want to play your character, but sincerity, investigation, meditation, and a few lore skills are almost always a must.

Seduction just doesn’t get used enough. Examples Hey, why not, here are some of my characters’ skills: Usagi Kidai Athletics (Running), Kyujutsu (Yumi), Polearms (Nagamaki) 5 Athletics is an obvious decision for an Usagi Bushi. Kyujutsu 5 and Polearms 5 were necessary for an advanced school technique, bought up Kyujutsu before that because of the range issue and because I was getting kind of left behind combatwise as I built my character towards courtierdom.

Stealth may be out of character, but it’s so important that you might as well bite the fleshcutter and get it over with before you forget. Essential skills for the Void 3 newb: Iaijutsu, Meditation, Tea Ceremony.
You can take the scholar advantage and get rank one in (almost) all lore. But raising certain lore individually is good if you require it. Acting is amazing, especially for a sneaky fuck like you who can literally look like other people. Don't over extend yourself though. Remember this game takes place in a pseudo Japan, and the culture is to specialize.
As with many numbers things, diminishing returns on more 1k0’s, which is why you don’t ever go above R-2 in a skill unless you are going for a mastery or you feel like some “reason” compels you. Pile XP into Traits before considering the craziness of skills. While you don’t have to go to R-2 to be more consistent at things, as, you know, only so many XP to spend and a Trait bump will make you far more likely to hit your TN, anyway, adding an average of 6.11 per 1k1 (it gets much funkier when you are adding 1k1 to some dice pool that doesn’t have an equal number of rolled and kept dice). Emphatic What about emphases? Some are really, really good mon ami. To the extent that rerolling 1’s is ever good. After all, +1k0 or reroll 1’s?
I never get into duels to lose. For those who love dueling, I understand why they cripple their other abilities to monomaniacally pursue a rather annoying activity.
All Lore skills were taken care of with Sage. Divination is kind of a cheesy skill that I rarely see used.
It was decided to make this new version of Oriental Adventures a showcase for their recently acquired Legend of the Five Rings. An official (but not 100% comprehensive) update of Oriental Adventures to the v.3.5 rules can be found in Dragon Magazine #318 (April 2004), pp. For the entirety of its Second Edition, with the exception of the Player's Guide, Game Master's Guide, Way of the Shadowlands, Winter Court: Kyuden Asako, and Time of the Void, books published for the Legend of the Five Rings RPG had two different sets of game mechanics: the mechanics from the Legend of the Five Rings Second Edition Player's Guide and corresponding mechanics for, such as those presented in Oriental Adventures. Beginning with the Third Edition of the Legend of the Five Rings Role-Playing Game, and because of the lack of availability of the now out of print Oriental Adventures, the d20 System rules have been dropped from current Legend of the Five Rings Role-Playing Game books.
A HoR alt, for instance, might start with R-2 in some skill to give it mechanical personality, maybe even Battle 3 for a PC intended primarily for Battle Interactives. A character who will only do one thing that doesn’t involve combat, like a Medicine character I built, can move into a specific skill at higher ranks, but these characters are often not that functional and not that interesting. What about combat skills? Yes, Jiujutsu 3, Kenjutsu 3, or Kyujutsu 3 are options.
• You get +1 rank in both Etiquette and Investigation for free; this can be used to increase a school skill if you already have it, these are used a lot. • The character gets 40 Character Points to spend. Skills and traits at character creation are limited to rank 4, and you may have up to 5 character points left over if you want.
Essential skills for the Agility 3 newb: Horsemanship, Stealth. Athletics is another skill required to all PCs. Stealth may be out of character, but it’s so important that you might as well bite the fleshcutter and get it over with before you forget. Essential skills for the Void 3 newb: Iaijutsu, Meditation, Tea Ceremony. How do you think I keep winning duels with Tattooed Monks Essential skills for all PCs: Athletics, Investigation.
What do you do in your off time?” duelists. R-3 is for punchers. R-5 is when you have nothing better to do than overkill grappling. R-7, punchers.

Antidotes – don’t leave an Intelligence 4 PC without it. Wound Treatment is something, I guess. Void Recovery is more meaningful than Fasting.
In home play, range has actually mattered to where it’s annoying to take range penalties. In HoR, it’s just something to do to overkill your archer character – Reflexes 5 is way more important. Meanwhile, some weapon masteries are garbage.
Sage does decrease the average number, as will Soul of Artistry: Artisan, Sensation, and Crafty (though Stealth is important enough to actually buy). For comparison, my *alt* character in HoR3 has 26 skills beginning/bought (stupid lack of advantage to fake Games skills). My main has 25 skills (I didn’t buy Sage for dumb reasons).
The mastery ability for this skill is extraordinary. Many players appear to think that Spellcraft 5 is necessary. I think it’s a waste of XP. Now, how often you importune matters a lot.
As a final thought, you could also use your last bit of XP to maximize the effectiveness of your School's technique. Magic in L5R tends to be fairly obvious, a shugenja pulls out a scroll, loudly reads a prayer (have to make sure the kami can hear you after all), and then some obvious and dazzling effect happens.
For a character who bought 19 skills to go with the starting 7, only four skills are even at R-2. Of course, I’m not allowing this character to rise about IR-1, so I’m constrained in all sorts of ways in what I can buy. In fact, I’m screwed at making the character combat functional, as Earth 3 or Reflexes 4 or Agility 3 or Void 4 would all put my character into IR-2. Sure, I could go Heavy Weapons 7 and not rank up, but that would be silly. You can see how HoR does things to builds that home play doesn’t.
