None taken. I thank you for listening to us so much and allowing us to be part of this project.
I do however must mention that this "bug" is the main reason I dont use the software now. I found it on the net when we decided to play L5R, but I cannot put my entire character into it (that and that fact that I need the Topaz champion path option mentioned in another issue).
Thanks again
PS - in your reply, you actually revealed my mail. please edit it, and if you want to refer to me, please use my L5R name: Tsuneo. thanks again.

*** I DELETED POST #3

Yes, let's keep this issue too, I'd like the explanation better :D
@Tsuneo no offense on that :)

I plan to fix this as soon as I have time. I am aware this is annoying!

Also I've a question about affinity and deficiency, you are a shugenja player so you should be familiar with them better than me.

Let's say I join multiple shugenja schools, how affinity and deficiencies from those school stacks or conflicts? If I gain an Air affinity with one school and an Air deficiency with another how is that handled? I'm confused.

The way multiple schools is written in the corebook (before learning any Techniques from a given School, you must possess at least one rank in all School Skills taught there), made me put this rule in my games: You need to purchase not only School Skills, but attributes too, and you must have affinity with your new school affinity, your deficiency is the deficiency from your starting school, not from the new one (in the case they are different), and they don't stack (you can't gain a double bonus affinity/penalty deficiency). That's because I understand your affinity/deficiency is set in character creation, and can't be changed, and because I never read about a L5R NPC character who has two affinities.

You could set that as main rule, and let users override it via an option.

By the way, now we are talking about it, the way I understand 4th ed rules, only a shugenja from the Isawa shugenja school with the advantage Ishiken-do can learn Void Spells and have affinity with them.

And, if I remember well, there is a disvantage that allows you to get a second deficiency, that should be controled too.

There is a last thing to control, there are some schools (not in the core book, but in expansion books, like The Great Clans) that has affinity/deficiency with keyword spells (like Divination keyword spells, for example).

wow :D isn't this tricky?

So at the end I think I'm implementing this mess like this:

- You join any secondary(/tertiary?) school, not mixing bushi and shugenja one

• You are not given the school technique(s) until you don't have a rank in all the    school skills ( optionally attributes ? )
• In case of shugenja school you don't gain the technique if the affinity is different

about the keywords affinity/deficiency :O never though about that. It is very tricky to handle considering how the program is working right not :/
