FEng Shui for L5R Rokugan

That pretty much it. From memory performing an active dodge costs 1 shot. So if you are making a lot of active dodges in a sequence you may not actually get to make a lot of attacks yourself.

That is how I read the rules. Thanks Olaf the Stout!

Of course, if you're making a lot of active dodges, you probably have bigger problems than not getting to attack very often...

If you are looking to add wuxia level play to Legend of the 5 Rings (L5R), then Feng Shui is a great pick. L5R has a great setting and could easily be converted into a high cinematic (less gritty) game.

I'd suggest that you modify the gun shticks to allow them to be used with bows/spears/shuriken. Though I think Two Bows Blazing might be a bit over the top. Maybe Two Arrows Blazing or some such.

The L5R clan schools can easily be converted to martial art paths or shticks; you'll have to make some decisions about the energy cost (Fu).

A couple of things in L5R that you might miss in the conversion are: Honor and Glory. This may be a minor issue depending on the game you run.

I think the gun schticks are already intended to be able to work with bows and shuriken; not sure about spears though.
