Btw, for those who have void points, you can use one void point to gain rank 1 in a skill you don't have.....such as medicine! A skill that would be really helpful in reviving bandits and Crabs who may or may not make it through the night. Just saying.

Though a medicine kit helps.

"I use my medicine skill to bandage them up!"

"... where do you get the bandages from?"

*Kojiro looks over to his spare kimono and finds it rapidly converted into bandages*

Kojiro: Kami Dammit! Why can't that kimono stay in one piece!

Denbe will kick the blood back into them. >:{

...but yeah, I'm figuring since Kojiro and Denbe are the best candidates for it (after Kagae) I'm gonna be burning my other void and taking care of the sickies, soon as we get some improvised supplies.  

[Raganui Minamoto]

I'm not bad for it... am I?  

[Plainsfox]

YOu're probably better than Kojiro is if you have void to burn, Raga.

Denbe is going to be a bit busy trying to figure out how to deal with the magistrate's overwhelming gratitude to get involved. Tabi says Miyako is also planning to sit this one out.  

[Raganui Minamoto]

What exactly is Kojiro doing?

What exactly is Kojiro doing?

Attempting to do a Knockdown, using the rules for Jiujutsu with his chain weapon (when he shouldn't) to push Zanzen into Machiko.

TECHNICALLY I think he's doing a Takedown rather than a Knockdown, since no damage was rolled.

Ultimately, if he hits Zanzen (which he should by my estimate), consider yourself prone. But NOT knocked into Machiko.

BUT he needs to beat you in a contested Strength Roll before he succeeds.  

[Plainsfox]

All I want to do is to shove Zanzen into Machiko. I am using the rules I am being told to use to attempt to do this action. Since rolling damage will keep it a legal maneuver, I'll do that. I'm sorry for the confusion.

Knockdown and Takedown are the same maneuver, requiring the same raises. Knockdown does damage if it hits. Takedown ignores armor, but does no damage if it hits.

To move someone in any direction but "down", it needs to be via Jiujutsu, and no other way.

During the discussion, I thought you still wanted to do the Knockdown Takedown, despite the lack of Jiujutsu, so I was discussing with you how to do that using your chain weapon. If the whole point of the maneuver was to get Zanzen and Machiko closer to one another, it is kind of impossible for you without the use of the void points you've already spent.

As such, if you do want to redo your turn, you can. Sorry for the misunderstanding.  

[Plainsfox]

*nods* I'll redo my post slightly. No shovings. I"m sorry for all the confusion this has been.  

[Raganui Minamoto]

Sorry, family is a b***h at times.  

[Rain Yupa]

Actually, what I told you was SLIGHTLY wrong. It's your Earth + Insight, not Strength + Insight.

But since you chose Earth/Water, it's the same roll anyways.
