Shugenja Handbook discussion thread

[InnaBinder]

For sharing your thoughts and concerns with the handbook, as well as any reports from the trenches.

Can you give some examples of how the sense elements ability would be useful?  It seems to require a disproportionate time investment, along with fairly restrictive results.

I'm not saying that you're wrong about it being a good ability, I'm just saying that my players and I joke about how, even in the example description, trying to use the ability ends up getting the shugenja killed.  We've been wrong about things before, though!

The default example is using sense water to determine the presence of folks with bloodstreams or other fluids within their bodies.  Sense earth in spelunking adventures could - potentially - alert a group otherwise unaware of it that there's a cave-in ahead, which is more niche, but still potentially viable.  T

Um...last I checked, sense elements can only be used three times per day at 1st level, plus an additional time per day every five levels.

Dunno what you're talking about.
