This page and the sub pages of this page will attempt to provide references to skills that are found in the L5R RPG and provide either details of the skill, when possible, or to provide full details of the skill, when it is not a published skill. Skills are the life blood of L5R, especially in the Second Edition, which I know is still very much a point of contention among 1st ed and 2nd ed arguments. To that, all I have to say is: I am just providing a catalogue/reference here.
