Battoujutsu
From SCross
The mastered art of attacking from the scabbard, ie drawing the weapon and attacking in the same motion, this technique (refereed to by some as being part of a collection of techniques known generically as Iaijutsu) allows for a sudden and powerful attack designed to strike the foe down with a single blow. To do so, the user must be wielding a sword, which must be sheathed, and with the scabbard either at their hip or held in hand in the vicinity of their hip. The weapon cannot have a Str. Req greater than the wielder's Strength / 5. Battoujutsu adds a to-hit bonus of (Quick-Draw / 5) to the attack, and boosts the attack's pre-soak damage by (Quick-Draw)%. Battoujutsu may only be used as a Non-Interrupt Action, and may only be used against a single target. If the attack is successful, the user may return his sword to it's scabbard immediately after the attack to allow Battoujutsu to be used again the on the user's next Turn. If Battoujutsu misses, however, the attacker is left unbalanced and at a substantial defensive disadvantage, unable to defend against attacks aimed at them until their next Turn (user may only Soak, and cannot Dodge, Parry, or Block). No other Sword-Techs or Specials may be used with Battoujutsu, unless the Sword-Tech or Special specifically notes otherwise.
