Strike with No Thought (Action)

Once per scene, as an Attack and Movement action, you may make a Martial Arts [Melee] (Void) check targeting one character at range 2–3 using a sheathed katana or wakizashi. The TN of this check is equal to your target’s vigilance.

You immediately move to range 1 of your target and draw the weapon you used. If you succeed, your target suffers a critical strike with severity equal to the deadliness of your weapon plus your bonus successes.

+: One character of your choice at range 0–2 of your target per spent this way suffers the Dazed and Disoriented conditions.

+: Treat the maximum range of this technique as 1 higher per spent this way.

The Kakita Duelist School emphasizes “one strike, one kill,” seeking for its students to master the one perfect strike performed in an iaijutsu duel. For the Kakita Duelists, such is the pinnacle of all martial skills. While other martial skills are not neglected, neither are they the focus of the Kakita Dueling Academy in Tsuma. Although some might critique such single-minded dedication, the Kakita Duelists are the best in the Empire. Their skill with the katana in this arena complements the Doji mastery of court, and reinforces the Crane hold on the political flow of the Empire.
