Saelinnyth, Elven Fighter/Thief

   Well, while I’m getting the Legend of the Five Rings log caught up – it’s quite a few sessions behind – here’s another bit of nostalgia and an example for some of the players who are fooling around with making some second edition characters. It’s also an illustration of why Skills and Powers gave fighters a notable boost: between specialities and the ability to adjust your most critical characteristic scores, they got a good deal more powerful.

Kit – Thug

• Benefits: Due to their rough-and-tumble lifestyle and penchant for street brawls, thugs gain a +1 bonus to all damage rolls.
• Hindrances: Thugs are often wanted by the local law enforcers. In a relatively confined area such as a city, a thug can never relax. Around the next corner might be a member of the constabulary-or the thug’s next victim
