WARNING: If you've found your way to this page, this is still UNDER CONSTRUCTION. The mentioned sheet and scripts are not available on Roll20 just yet, as I am still developing them.

Introduction

This wiki page provides a comprehensive guide to setting up and running a game of FFG's 5th edition of Legend of the Five Rings. Because of FFG's unique version of the Roll and Keep system, the dice mechanic of this game can only be accomplished in two ways on Roll20's platform - via Roll Tables and via an API script. This method details specifically the API version sheet.

Note: This guide references a character sheet that utilizes the Roll20 API for dice rolls. In order to utilize dice rolls from this sheet and various API macros presented on this page the game's creator must have a Roll20 subscription that grants access to the API. Any roll buttons that do not create a dice roll will still function normally without the companion script.

Many of the header sections can be collapsed to hide the content below it. This allows you to get information that doesn't regularly change out of view, and scroll less.
