Skills in the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game are divided into five categories based on their primary uses and role in society:
Artisan skills: The high arts of Rokugan have a powerful influence on society. While commoners produce most items in Rokugan, artisans produce influential, sometimes even supernatural works that can alter the course of history. Artisan skills allow characters to engage in the process of creating art.
Martial skills: Samurai were originally warriors, and while members of this societal strata fill many roles in Rokugan now, it is still steeped in martial traditions. As such, Martial skills are seen as being of utmost importance. Martial skills allow characters to fight in duels or battles, defeat physical challenges, successfully wage war, and overcome their own mental limits.
Scholar skills: Information is power, and Scholar skills give a character access to information about society, the world, and other people. Scholar skills allow characters to recall information, identify things related to an area of expertise, observe their environment, and draw conclusions.
Social skills: Courtiers hold incredible sway in Rokugan, negotiating the agreements by which wars are waged and averted and influencing marriages, trade, and other events of great import in the lives of samurai. Thus, Social skills are at least somewhat important to almost all samurai, from the most silver-tongued denizens of ruling courts to the roughest of field soldiers. Social skills allow characters to affect the emotions and thoughts of others through rhetoric, behavior, and body language.
Trade skills: These are skills most commonly practiced by occupants of the bottom tiers of Rokugan’s stratified society. Trade skills allow characters to procure resources from their environment and perform work.
