The Day of Thunder

[Nanzi Ai]

I'll go north then.

[Nanzi Ai]

I did my part think I might be 3 wounds short of death.

[Anjing]

Doing the Kami's work, hopefully Ai chopping it into ribbons aggros the zombie!

[Togashi Satsuki]

Reminder that it's 3 Raises to head-shot le zombiees

Is it 2 raises or 3 raises to behead a zombie?

3 Raises for Called Shot to the noggin'.

CALLED SHOT (VARIABLE RAISES)
A Called Shot is an attack that specifically targets one section of the body. Without the Called Shot Maneuver, it is assumed that an attack will strike the target’s torso, but with an increasing number of Raises, smaller and more specific parts of the body can be targeted. A specific limb can be targeted with 1 Raise, a hand or foot with 2 Raises, the head with 3 Raises, or an eye, ear, finger, or other similarly small part with 4 Raises.

Luckily Sora was swinging 9k4 at a starting ATN of 5, so the fuckup in notation didn't matter too much

I thought Sora had only Void 2? Or did you get around to increasing it? Raises are limited to Void normally (unless tech or Great Potential)

So you're saying that certain combat maneuvers are LITERALLY impossible? I've never seen the cap applied there.

I mean... that is literally the rules as written? An attack roll is a Skill Roll. Attack rolls don't magically overcome the normal limitation of raises.

EDIT:

Core Rulebook pg. 79 (Book of Earth)

RAISES
A character can make a maximum number of Raises per roll equal to his Void Ring. A character with Void 2, for instance, can make 1 or 2 Raises per roll, but not 3. Some mechanical effects grant a character Free Raises. These give the benefit of having made a Raise without actually increasing
the TN of the roll in question, and do not count toward the maximum number of Raises that may be made per roll. Free Raises may also be used to reduce the TN of the task being attempted by 5 instead of augmenting the roll in the same way as a normal Raise.

I'm gonan wait on GM ruling, and if Sora can't called shot the neck, guess we'll say it was for extra damage and get on with our lives.

This is why Great Potential is almost the only way you ever see anyone using the Extra Attack maneuver for 5 Raises.

[Anjing]

We got these zombies where we want them (except for the one with his claws in Genji).
Let the bushi blender continue.

[Jiyo Sora]

Yeah, even if Sora doesn't drop his first target... the woodchipper is running.

That is unfortunately the rules there. Raises on any skill roll are limited by Void. As mentioned great potiential is usually the only way you see the higher raise maneuvers, that or free raises since those don't count toward the cap.

[Hantei Genji]

Sorry guys, give me a minut eto figure out where I'm at and what my next steps should be.

Also ,TYrus, GM diiiiiiice

30 on 6k2 TWICE?!

[Jiyo Sora]

Voiding for damage reduction seems a sound start

[Hantei Genji]

Welp, that was a heroic and stupid thing to do

At least I still have GD? xD

[Jiyo Sora]

Got two zombies here, I figure Sora will smack the one he already damaged, if anyone's up to head-shooting the second...

[Hantei Genji]

Gah, Earth 3, took 54 damage total (can't void the damage down, as I voided my previous one). There goes me!

[Anjing]

Rest well Genji, hopefully have you back up soon!

I might be following you, I think we need to coat with Jade... ugh.
