The reference sheet is built by me and contains all the rules that are in the dropdowns in this sheet. It's necessary for the
sheet to work, but if you would like to create your own reference sheet (maybe to remove or add houserules from the
dropdown), you can follow this link, File > Make a Copy, and then copy that link into the C3. At which point, you will have full
control over what this sheet pulls, and you can search for (H) and delete any content that contains it.
Introduction
Welcome to my L5R 5th Edition Sheet. This sheet autocalculates pretty much everything you need in order to run L5R smoothly. It contains the information from every book currently out and will continue to
update as needed. It does, also, reference a bunch of homebrew stuff, but if you want to opt out of that, there's an easy solution. Copy the link of the Houserule Free Sheet below to C3, or you can make
your own and link it there.

Navigation
The Base Tab allows you to build your character and pretty much holds your hand through the creation process. Aside from feeding you direct Advantages and Disadvantages, it walks you through the 20
questions game with all the information of the schools and clan bonuses.
The Character Tab is where you will mostly live--it's where your character is built and the main sheet. It has spaces for you to record all your character stuff and the exp calculates automatically when you up
your Ranks. Insight calculates "automatically" sort of--in that, it'll add it all up and tell you when you've hit rank, but you have to record how much insight you get from each level. Unfortunately, there's no real
good way to do insight without your own records being kept; it's just a little too fiddly. It will tell you what is in curriculum though, so it's easy to do that math on the insight~ Remember it's 1/2 round UP, not
Round Down.
And the Experience Tab is pretty straight forward. If you have a game in which you are all getting the same experience, you can make a Game Experience sheet and pull an importrange from there so you don't
each have to record it, but unless you're an excel sheet weeb like me, that's probably nonsense to you. Either way, keep track of experience earned and experience spent here! The Calculations on Rings and
Skills and Techniques are already kept track of; most things you'll buy are kept track of, but if you purchase something that's not calculated anywhere on the sheet, you can write it in underneath those, too.

Homebrew Content
There are some parts of this sheet that are just made up for myself, particularly on the Experience sheet. These things are marked with an asterisk and are simple to remove. Just delete the line containing
them in Experience Earned. Nothing else should interfere with you, as we don't have a lot of homebrew outside of that. I will, eventually, have hombrew clans and bullshit, but they, too, will be marked with an
Asterisk and in "Adding your Own Content" you can get clear instructions on how to add or remove my content easily.
Currently, the way they are handling other races, such as Kitsune, are basically just putting that race into a school, and I'm not really too excited about that, so I am waiting to see if Path of Waves decides to
give me a better avenue for handling these kinds of things or if I'm going to have to make one up--If I should have to make one up, it'll probably appear on this sheet; it's likely I'll just put racial differences in
family and make up techniques that are prerequisite on that racial situation. Either way--I'm warning you that'll likely happen here. You can always delete my homebrew content. All of it will be Denoted with an
[HB] on the Tables tabs
The below information is mostly for Seth, so I have home rules written where I can find them easily with a click of the button; Should you wish to use them, feel free--or ignore them. If the home rule has
sheet applications, there will be a checkbox up top to toggle it on and off.
Movement Home Rules
If you toggle this, a new derived stat called movement is calculated on the Character sheet, at Water + Fire. I was exceptionally irked at the movement system of 5th Ed., where I could
sometimes move 3 feet and sometimes move 3 miles depending on my 'end goal'. So we have designated every "Ring Band" as 5 yards and your Movement to allow you to move up to that many
'Ring Bands'. We're using standard yard lengths for the range of long range weapons. Leave this untoggled and it does nothing, but if you want to use this system, clicky the checkbox.
Critical Strike Home Rule
If you would take a maim that would make it unfun for you to play your character, you may opt, instead, to enter the "Dying 5" Condition. You may also take temporary maims that after 3
months in game being tended to by a healer (you just have to pay one or have one around with you each night helping you recover--mostly narrative), you may swap it for an Anxiety related to
the situation (Like Battle Trauma) showing that you nearly got a permanent maim but instead recovered.
Patterns Home Rules
The patterns applied to weapons have been increased in power almost universally (A few were good enough we didn't care to check them). If you toggle the checkbox, it will pull the more
powerful patterns
Opposed Checks Home Rule
If two people have directly opposing goals in a non combat situation and are making checks against one another, the TN of the roll is the Vigilance OR the opposed check, whichever is higher.

Adding Your Own Content!~

This sheet is put together in such a way that adding your own custom content should be pretty straightfoward, but I'm going to tell you how just in case. Adding Content involves going into the Creation and
Advancement Table tabs, which are both normally hidden from view, so you can find them under the menu at the bottom left. Creation tables are for your base Clans, Families, and Schools, while Advancement
tables are for your Curriculum. Keep in mind that anything you make will need to follow the same basic building blocks as the book. IE: Advancement tables are always Skill Group, Skill, Skill, Skill, Technique
Group, Technique, Technique. If they leave this order, the sheet will break trying to figure them out, so be cautious, but have fun.
Key: In case you can't figure it out, (I know you can, but this might make not having to think about it) (K) is Kata, (S) is Shuji, (N) Ninjutsu, (R) Ritual, (I) Invocation, and (KH) for Kiho
Creation Tables
The Creation Tables are pretty straight forward, and you should be able to figure out what each column is based on its header, but I'm going to go into a few details that might be less obvious. Before you
edit this at all, you're going to want to copy the whole page and paste Shift+Cntrl+V so it's not pulling from my information block. This will cut you off from automatic future updates, but it will save you from
things breaking later.
There's a Column called "# of Skills" in the school section, and that's "Choose this many skills from the list". Shugenja so far are always 3, Monks are always 4, and Everything else is 5. I say "so far" because I'm
skeptical about L5R sticking to patterns. I've been burned before. The Bayushi Deathdealer is the only school that has 8 skills to choose from. Everything else is 7 or less. It's a unicorn fairy monster in a sea
of otherwise perfect order.
Then there's your Techniques, which might confuse some of you, so I'm going to go over. If a Technique is 'choose one', then put all options under the same Technique header right next to each other. If a
technique is a list of things and says "Choose 2", then you're going to have to put that same list under two Technique headers. And if Choose 3, the same list under 3 Technique headers. Anything that you just
get goes under 1 Technique header alone. There are 5 technique headers, because, so far, no class has had over 5 techniques as a starter, and there are 5 slots in each of them, because, so far, no class has
had more than 5 techniques to choose from in any bulk choice. If L5R changes this, I will have to adjust my sheet. You'll hear about it. I'll be cursing.
Advancement Tables
When adding a new school to the mix, advancement tables are a must. When you add a new school, it will transpose a name at the top denoting that you have a new column for that school. Do not reorder your
schools on the Creation Tables--if you do, you will misorder this table. I have a check for that by having the main stuff check if it's under the right header. Before you edit this at all, you're going to want to
copy the whole page from row 3 down and paste Shift+Cntrl+V so it's not pulling from my information block. This will cut you off from automatic future updates, but it will save you from things breaking later.
If it's suddenly got a bunch of PINK all over it, you have fucked it up. You need to get the original and try again, without sorting the Creation tables. Anything you add will be pink until you copy and paste the
transposed name to Row 1, forcing it to acknowledge this is where I belong now.
Then just fill out the thing properly in the same format as all the rest. Make sure you type things in correctly--it's checking for names against names. If you aren't sure you are typing it correctly, find
another example of it in the sheet and copy/paste it. This is particularly important for Skills. Techniques and the like are less important in this regard and you don't have to follow any specific formatting

The Power Bonus System

In the power bonus system, it allows for certain
characters to be just a little better than or worse

ahead of another samurai of their age, and a Weak
Samurai is about 10xp behind. Completely untrained
Samurai are 20xp behind their peers

The Talent System

In the Talent System, you enter the base amount of
exp gained for each character in the base amount
column and based on the talent, the total is
calculated on the left side. Otherwise, this base
amount column is unuseful to you. Ignore it.

Life Experience System

Again a Homerule situation, life experience
determines your starting exp based on how much

 v.1.3 - Added Movement Homebrew system because I have now encountered the Ring Band
12/14/2019 movement system and I do not like it whatsoever. Also added a Curriculum Bar to Title for upkeep
notes
v. 1.2 - I LIED IT'S AN UPDATE. Techniques were broken because I had shifted rows to make stuff
12/12/2019
earlier on. New version, who dis?
We're not calling this a version update because nothing was really updated, but I did sort the
12/12/2019
Creation and Advancement tables.
v1.1 - Added a Notes section to Clans; it's for how I suspect I will implement homebrew races.
12/11/2019
Right now it does nothing, but it's still a change, so I'm noting it.
First Draft is finished with Shadowlands, Courts of Stone, the Core Book, Emerald Empire, and the
12/10/2019
Mantis Clan splat all added. I'm looking forward to the Path fo Waves book, but we're live.
Added an Information: Techniques Panel that includes the techniques from the Core Rulebook--I
really hate looking things up, you see, so I'm basically creating cheat sheets. Oh, I added an
12/15/2019
Advantages/Disadvantages one too, and it has all the core book info. Update: Added all the Books
techniques; there are less in the other books than I would have expected.
v.1.4 Updated the Base to include Status from Heritage Tables; doing so forced
me to clean it up a bit, but it's working great. I think I might be done--do you know
12/15/2019
how much work I did on that 3rd ed sheet and it wasn't even done yet? Jeez this
system is easier. *knocks on wood* In fairness, I might find a lot of fiddlies later.
v.1.5 Someone brought attention to the fact that I forgot the Techniques from the
12/20/2019 Shadowlands book--that's now remedied.
The sheet wasn't calculating out far enough on the Advancement Tables to
12/23/2019 account for some of the schools I added--fixed. Added tracking for Wounds;
Added tracking for Arrows
v.1.6 For ease of updates, I've linked the information tabs and
Creation/Advancement tables to a Reference document located here: https://docs.
google.com/spreadsheets/d/146d4FZgzsy0yTkn4VhVoUvXI5RKVgQbt92AncJP-
12/24/2019 ZhI/edit?folder=1Io3UA6kqVo53Lt4rxci7OgUOFdPpSZuV#gid=913236284 . They
will pull updated Techniques and such from there now so I don't have to add them
manually to every version update. This means you can't sort them using the filters,
but you can still filter them for ease of looking through.
ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THE SHEET WERE NOT CALCULATING YOUR
12/24/2019
MENTOR SKILL. APOLOGIES. IT IS FIXED NOW.
v.1.7 I've removed the Information tabs, because they are just reference material.
12/27/2019 Now they are kept in the reference document. I have added the ability to
dropdown titles, though, because.. well, ease.
v.1.8 Happy new Year. There are some techniques that give bonuses to
1/3/2020 Endurance and Composure, I've realized, and so I've provided a few boxes for
that
v.1.9 Dropdown Techniques because I'm a lazy bitch. You can still type in your
own if you want but I personally prefer dropdowns. Do you want your own list?
1/4/2020 Copy/paste the Techniques or Advantages/Disadvantages tab with a
Shift+Cntrl+V and you will have a list you can edit to delete ones you don't want
and add ones you do.
v.2.0 Updated the Techniques to reflect their type in their titles, because it allows
easier drop-down choice. I was having a hard time determining which was which
1/20/2020 whilst choosing and this was the most elegant solution; Sorry if any of you were
using my ref document, because you all will have to update your techniques real
quick.
v.2.1 Made Equipment Tab and allowed dropdowns of equipment because I'm
lazy and I make a lot of characters and this helps me. Updated
2/14/2020
Advantages/Disadvantages and Techniques to pull from the Welcome Sheet
(Whoops)
 v.2.2 Added the Basics of Path of Waves--Regions and Upbringings--to the base
sheet. None of the techniques, schools, advantages, or disadvantages are
2/24/2020
represented. Maybe someone will scan the books into PDFs so I can do this
reasonably, because there's too much to copy by hand.
3/4/2020 v.2.3 Added NPC sheet for pets, summons, whatever you desire to keep track of
Not a new version, just added Bond abilities to the technique list and the sheet
3/5/2020 autocalculates exp costs on techniques--just delete the exp costs of things you got
for free. It's just one less # I have to type in general
Most things from Path of Waves have been added to the sheet. We're missing the
advantages and disadvantages. This isn't a version update, as it's just the
3/8/2020
reference material. Please keep in mind: I copied this junk by hand as opposed to
copy/pasting it out of a nice pdf, so if there are typos or whatever, that's why.
v.2.4 The reference sheet has been changed so as not to interfere with older
versions as I added a column to techniques to help this new update, but I've
created a filter on the technique dropdown! By default, it will filter your curriculum
(sans your individual techniques) to the top now, making scrolling way less
4/20/2020
arduous! I've been noodling about how to do this for.. like... forever, because there
were so many techniques. I figured it out, finally. Older sheets are referencing my
Reference Document (Defunct) sheet, which will no longer be updated with new
techniques or powers.
v.3.0 I should have changed this on the last update, but I didn't. This update is
actually really tiny. On the Derivative Tables sheet (Hidden) Cell AJ1 needs to
have the word in quotes changed to "Ronin", not "Samurai" and the =L3 and =L4
5/8/2020 needs to be swapped at the end in the two formulas. Just.. update your shit and
you'll be G2G; For perfect clarity, it should look like this: =IF(Base!$L$3="Ronin",
FILTER('Creation Tables'!O2:O,'Creation Tables'!N2:N=Base!L3),FILTER
('Creation Tables'!O2:O,'Creation Tables'!N2:N=Base!L4))
v.3.1 A small fix in the Derivative Tables Sheet changes AE2 from its original form
5/22/2020 to: =TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(TRANSPOSE(SPLIT($Q$6, "* ", FALSE)),"Rank ",
FALSE)) ; This fixes problems with asterisks in the Ranks
6/19/2020 v.3.2 Fixed the Status and Glory calculations for Ronin/Peasant/Gaijin
v.3.3 Adjusted the Advantages and Disadvantages on the sheet to show what
9/19/2020
type they are in their description -- IE Mental, Interpersonal, Physical
v.3.4 Added Bushido emphasis on the Character sheet and extended techniques
10/9/2020
section down
10/14/2020 v.3.5 Fixed Ronin calculation where it added the status together twice
v.3.6 Added a bar below schools in the Base Tab that explains their diversions
10/15/2020 from the original book and/or unique things about the class if the class requires
specific advantages/disadvantages
Derivative tables School List now defaults to Ronin list if there's an error in the
pull; It also pulls Gaijin schools as a group when people choose Gaijin as their
10/23/2020
class, as opposed to attempting to pull each for individual types--especially since
there are two Yodha, this didn't really work out
Not a version change, but added some home rule experience dropdowns for one
10/30/2020
of my games and made that pull info from the reference sheet Misc tab
v3.7 adds Patterns to the weapons and armor lists and maybe fucks everything up
11/13/2020
we don't know yet; once I use it for a while I'll see where the bugs are
Character Tab: Added "Status" for Affliction/Taint/Other, with notes for
explanation. Affliction lowers Vigilance to 1, as it should. Fixed an issue with the
12/27/2020
Weapons/Armor [X2 was populating down to 3,4,5,6,etc in Qualities] NPCs Tab:
Adjusted entirely to new format for Weapons/Armor.
Added Bonds Tab: Keeping track of bonds in the Technique list was obnoxious
2/7/2021
to me, so I made a Bonds tab specifically
 v.4.0 will include all information from Fields of Victory; Character Tab: The
technique list has been adjusted to include toggles to calculate insight, and colors
that indicate what type of technique you are looking at. This hasn't required any
adjustments yet on the derivative table. Welcome Tab: The as of yet useless
4/19/2021 "Pattern Homerules" toggle will allow you to change to the .. more powerful
patterns that we are using. Without toggle it will not diverge from the original, but I
find the Artisan classes to be ridiculously lackluster at the moment and intend to
do some.. adjustments. Mass Battle Tab: Complete overhaul of the Mass Battle
tab to reflect the new Mass Battle rules. It's no longer just a House rules tab.
Not a Version Change, but Mass Battle Tab: you can now copy/paste a link to
your Commander's sheet and have it pull the info directly into your own as
4/23/2021
opposed to manual entry. Also, the Max Army power was 1pt off, and now it's
fixed
Base tab: The boxes highlight if they fill with "any", indicating you must type in the
7/10/2021
choice.
