A few questions
I've got a few questions.
1. The best mechanical representation of a katana would seem to be a Large cavalry saber- 1d8, 18-20/x2. Is this acceptable?
2. Can Weapon Proficiency (katana) cover the bokken, a solid wooden practise sword (as baseball bat), and the shinai, a hollow bamboo practise sword (as subdual baseball bat)?
3. Is a +3 armor bonus with a -1 armor check penalty acceptable for bogu, kendo sparring armor?

Everything looks good Dr.Z. If you could just finish fleshing everything out and match the format to the rest of the sheets in the RG please feel free to post it in the RG thread. If I notice anything off-kilter then I'll let you know.
Tom - I'm alright with everything but the bogu stats. Bogu armor is solely made for practice purposes and does not cover enough of the body or is made of strong enough material to offer much protection. I would only be comfortable giving it a +1 bonus -1 armor check.

Sorry, folks. I've just lost interest in this game, and I'm going to drop out. I've got a lot going on, and it's hard for me to sustain interest. Nothing against the GM or anyone else. I just don't want people waiting around for me to do anything.
Good luck to you all and happy gaming.

Sorry to see you go Insight, though I had a feeling we had lost you the past few weeks. No hard feelings. I've been busier than usual myself and Cthulhu games can indeed go a bit slower action-wise most of the time, especially in the beginning when everyone is still quite sane and believes the world makes sense. I can assure everyone that that will not be the case for too much longer and to bear with me as we wade through the rest of this exposition before things really start heating up!
