Alright, good to know. I'll give that a shot once others have had a chance to try something

@Moyreau - If I were to fire-attack the barrier, would my fire-res be included in my defense roll? (Since it reflects what’s thrown at it?) And would I add both evasive and fire-res dice? I’m not sure how the system works.

Is the damage reflection only if we fail to beat the defense roll, or does it apply regardless of the results?

It seems to me that the intention is that the barrier reflects attacks exactly, so if you attack with 7 dice and a DX of 4 with the fire element, it will do the same thing to you. I think. But clarification would be good.

I like how Sumeryu believes they are humans because this is how it would go I'm manga and she believes manga is a manual on how things will go... and she is actually correct in this case. Whereas Ibuki who probably spent the most time among humans has not noticed anything in part due to being naive and in another part because she's depressed that she is no longer the 'normal one'

Evasion would apply to the roll, but remember that Resistance affects the DX (damage multiplier). And if it goes bellow 0, you don't need to roll (as you won't receive any damage). Hibana has Attack +2, and Resistance +4, thus, he wouldn't suffer damage from her own attack (and mustn't roll).

As how BlondeDragonGenie said, it applies at all times.

She actually would be correct in most cases, if following this rule! That must be why she's so confident!

Oh, then I could be open to attack and just take the hit!!! But I’ll see how @Eltesla did first, and only use fire if needed.

Yeah, only if the origin of the attack was fire thouhg.

as for @vicky_molokh: We're doing group initiative, so you can act at whatever order comes up. I didn't roll initiative for the bad guy and the PCs party because this didn't turn into a combat yet.

Highlighting this, in case it got lost.

What is the Unique Perk cost for "it’s fire?"

its almost like she is in a world based on a manga or something...

It would apply regardless (In case you guys met a barrier like that again~)
Affinities, it appear on the end of the Perks & Flaws list, after Flaws. They don't cost anything, just add flavor to the attack and determine which Resistances and Vulnerabilities/Weaknesses are affected by it.

Oh, important question: do Transformations bypass the 5-level maximum of traits? Asking because Lín Jìng currently has a +2 Iron Will buff, but her Demonic Awakening would also give another +2 Iron Will. So if there is a cap, bypass, that will put her total Iron Will at 7 instead of 5. (This is important for defending in certain ways, since transformations are instant.)

Transformation can bypass that cap (which only apply on chargen, to be clear)

Oh. Ooooh.

@Moyreau - So I’m still trying to figure this system out. I’m sure Hibana just got clobbered though!

I’ll retaliate later. Or roll DEF again if I need to react vs. two tornadoes.

Oh, seems like there was a theme in this round of rolling poorly on defense?

So, I'd normally roll your defenses myself, to know the outcome right away. I forgot it this time. That being said, when you guys roll defense, you can act at once, no need to wait for me to narrate the outcome (it will amount to 'you take damage'), unless you've taken more than half your total HP. In all other cases, I'll state the consequences of being hit (like Hanami being grabbed) so you can presume that on your action.

You only need to react to one tornado

Ibuki rolled a 3, as her second roll shouldn't happen because of the -1 penalty.

Also remembering everyone who defend with barriers that they can buy-off the difference in the Attack vs Defense roll with Endurance, on a 1 o' 1 basis.

I'm beginning to think this person has something with spiders...

By the way, I'll be unavailable tomorrow for the better part of the day, just so you can know.
