Man these mechanics are clunky as hell. It took me ten minutes to work out that the attack, cut through clothes but didn't do any major damage.

I think part of it all is just a steep learning curve making it seem harder to get to grips with than other systems....also doesn't help that we're not all round a table together to talk through stuff. I'm sure it'll click into place after running through things a couple of times.So in the initiative order it's showing Bandit 2's turn but you seemed to roll for them previously???

Minato considers shifting his stance for a moment but with a smile keeps pressing the attack against the bandit he struck previously.

Ring Die: Explosive Success and Strife
Ring Die: Explosive Success and Strife

Going to keep all 3 Explosive Successes and re-roll to see what else I might want to keep (running tally is 3 x Success, 2 x Strife)....the re-rolls are 3 more successes so I'll keep the lot. Total of 6 successes and 2 Strife meaning I'm dealing 11 damage to this unfortunate Bandit (4 for Katana, 5 for bonus successes, 2 for Strife due to Fire Stance)

Ok, opting not to change stance and will stay in Fire. From the post about the bandits I'm reading that he is in Earth Stance (so I can't spend any Opportunities to Crit them) and I am at TN 1 to attack them, rolling for the attack......So thats the following:Skill Die: Explosive Success

With a feint and a follow-up blow, you weave through his defences and strike cleanly at the bandit in question. You grit your teeth as you blade pierces the bandit's lower torso. There is a brief moment where a look of shock crosses his face before you push the blade even further into his abdomen.
OOC:
So old mate is not in a good way. He might get the chance to make one more attack, possibly. If you withdraw the blade, he is likely to just bleed out in the dirt after a couple of turns.

The berobed shugenga reins in his warhorse and squeezes his legs tightly into the horse's flanks to stabilize himself. He readies his bow and takes aim at the distant archer...

I'll keep the three successes, 1 strife and 1 opportunity. I'll use the opportunity to 'reassure' Mirumoto from the General (Earth) opportunity list so he can remove 2 strife. That fire stance is taxing...
Damage of the bow is 5, +1 for bonus success over TN2.After loosing his arrow Iuchi spares a glance towards the clashing Dragon and the unfortunate bandit. I am glad you are here today, Mirumoto.

I agree, there's not much to the basic Strike option. Some of the later techniques are pretty cool, but might be slow to acquire...Last edited February 6, 2019 6:47 am

Well the flavour comes from the Stance you're using, essentially you have 5 different Strike actions dependent upon the Ring you're using for the attack. It's pretty much down to you to narrate what your character is doing in line with the Stance/Ring they are using for the action
