So, I was under the impression that 4E would separate theme from rules, but from what I can tell that didn't.
There are still schools such as the Daidoji Bushi School, etc. How does this separate mechanics from theme?
How long was 3E out, 3-4 years?

Re: L5R 4th Edition
It's not generic bushi for everyone. They had to put some flavor in to differentiate the schools.

I would guess a Bushi school, but more of a scout. Ninja don't exist!

weakness of 4th Edition rules
http://www.brewngames.com/?p=328
An interesting review of 4th Edition which nicely highlights the obvious issues with the new skill system I've pointed out elsewhere.

Re: weakness of 4th Edition rules
Can anyone confirm how THtbH works with armor in this edition.
I read the following.
(Reflexes x 5) + 5 + Armor Bonus
The difference being the extra +5 bonus. I read that, but couldn't find anything that obviously showed this as true.
