Kanuki remains in control. With 6 remaining
totaling an 18. Order is now established.
Kanuki has an STA: 9, giving her 9 attack attempts
during her turn (barring that the first attack does not
miss or is blocked). The Street Thug has a DEF: 3
giving him 3 potential blocking opportunities during
Kanuki’s nine turns.
STEP 3: Action vs. Reaction Roll
Situation: For her first of 9 STA, Kanuki
uses the Standing Grapple Technique:
“Front” (because this is Hand-to-Hand com-
bat the Street Thug is in range for such an ac-
tion). Kanuki jots down the 2 Ki Energy
USED with the previously used points. This
technique is not available for use for the fol-
lowing melee. She then, casts 1D6 for her
Action Roll landing a 5 and applies the +1 to
grabbing gained from using this technique to
this roll totaling 6. The Thug’s Reaction Roll
fails casting a 4, and he is grabbed. No dam-
age is taken.
For her second of 9 STA, Kanuki selects the
Front Throw Takedown Technique: “Hip
Throw” (jotting down the 5 Ki Energy Points
USED). This movement is now in recharge
for one melee. Consequently, the Standing
Grapple Technique: “Front” will be available
once again after this Action vs. Reaction Roll.
The combatants cast the die and again Kanuki
wins, resulting in Kanuki throwing the Street
Thug to the ground.
STEP 4: Damage
To calculate damage, Kanuki casts 1D4 as
noted by the technique’s effects adding 4 to
her STR: 11 totaling 15. This is taken from
the Street Thug’s HEA: 107= 92. Per Chart 5
-8, Kanuki also gains +1 to her next Attack
Roll.
STEP 3: Action vs. Reaction Roll
Kanuki, having 7 STA available, declares the
use of Mount Ground Position Technique:
“Top” (jotting down 2 Ki Energy USED) with
the additional +1 from the last attack.
Kanuki’s cast totals a 6 on a 1D6. Because
the Street Thug only has 2 DEF Points left,
and that this technique does not deliver any
damage, the Street Thug decides not to defend
against this technique. Kanuki may remain in
this position until she decides to get off her
opponent. Once she gives up this position,
the recharge for this technique will begin its
two melee round period.
Sitting in the Mount Ground Position: “Top”,
51
STA before another Control Roll is necessary,
Kanuki decides to use Close Quarter Striking
Technique: “Downward Elbow”. 4 Ki Ener-
gy USED is written down with the collection
of the other amounts used. After a successful
Action vs. Reaction Roll, Kanuki adds 3 to
her STR 11 per the technique, and the Street
Thug is struck again.
STEP 4: Damage C h
The Street Thug receives a total of 14 points a
of damage from this technique bringing his p
HEA to 79. The technique goes into its re- t e
charge period for the following two melees. r
The Street Thug now only has 1 DEF left.
STEP 3: Action vs Reaction
With 5 STA remaining, Kanuki declares the
use of the Arm Joint Lock Technique: “Arm
Bar” (Giving +2 to STR) with it, she writes
down 2 Ki Energy USED. Kanuki casts and
lands a 6, while the Street Thug lands a 5 on
the 1D6 Kanuki is again successful, and the
Street Thug is hit. The “Arm Bar” technique
enters the recharging period for the next three
melee rounds.
STEP 4: Damage
Adding the modifiers from the die roll to the
attack, the Street Thug loses another 13 points
of health bringing his HEA to 62.
The Street Thug has no more DEF Points available,
however Kanuki has 4 Stamina Points remaining in
which she may attack unblocked. The Street Thug
will receive full damage for Kanuki’s remaining at-
tacks.
After the battle, the game is paused to tabulate the Ki
Energy Point each player used. The Player will re-
port to the GM That Kanuki spent 15 Ki Energy
Points for the conflict. This total is subtracted from
the 1,248 Points Kanuki Takanashi has. She will
have 1,233 when the game resumes.
Combat Techniques in Non-Combat Situations
Not all acquired combat techniques require com-
bat for their use. Combat techniques can be used out-
side of fighting (ex: breaking down a wooden door).
The steps for using combat techniques used in non-
combat situations mirror those to situations of battle.
Select a technique and subtract the Ki Energy Points
to use it. Roll the die and apply the technique’s bo-
nus (if applicable). Always remember that when a
technique is used the recharge begins, and will only
be available for another use after that technique’s re-
charge period passes.
