Right. Just remember not to kill her. Something like 13ish damage should do the trick. You may want to ask Rain for advice.

That's why I'm not exploding that damage dice other wise I might kill her.

I'm sure the Mirumoto wouldn't mind if you did.

And kagae was last seen running as fast as he could to the kaiu fort.

12 is perfect.

Speed Scuttle Away!

Guess that means it's you and Keith for the right to fight Mongooseh then, eh Raga?  

[Keith Valken Lionheart]

Sounds good to me.  

[Mongooseh]

Either winner of that duel is not a good option for me.  

[Keith Valken Lionheart]

Raganui will probably win, he keeps 3 to hit. That's beastly. My one eye disadvantage will put me behind.

My only advantage is my higher normal tn to be hit. Reminder to self put points into defense.

Your school advantage lets you ignore armor. That will compensate for your missing eye. You also get a bonus to your own attack roll as well?

I can either ignore armor or get a free raise to attack, and if someone raises against me I also get a free raise. That's about it. I prefer ignoring armor, the -5 TN, like you said, evens out my disadvantange, and I still find it better than a free raise. I'd only take a free raise to get over 10kx so I can keep another die.  

[Rain Yupa]

Against unarmored opponents, a Free raise can be +5 to hit. Against Light Armored opponents, a Free Raise = Ignore Armor
Against Heavy Armored opponents, ignoring armor is twice (or more) as good as a free raise.

Sometimes you might want to use that free raise for something cool, like damage or as fuel for an Extra Attack or something. In fact, your School Ability free raise + 2 raises (void 2) + bishamon's blessing = +10 for two attacks at Rank 1. Sooner than anyone else would get it, without getting Void 3 to be able to do it with 3 raises (+15) instead.

I also forgot to mention I add my Water ring to the damage total biggrin

Against unarmored opponents, I see no reason to ignore armor, since they have none. I'd go for the raise if that was to be the case. But if they're armored, the armor will be ignored. A -TN is better than a roll I might or might not keep.
