Re: Iajutsu strike
if it's not in combat a lack of defence could be done as part of a partial surprise situation.
assuming the attacker got all their quick draw rolls off OK so it was draw and attack in one action and did this as a deceptive attack I'd penalise the defenders surprise roll by the deceptive attack penalty to defence. (caveat this might be a touch powerful as a general idea when not linked with another -10 to hit a cigarette, and I should say I tend to be quite free with initiative roll / partial surprise mods in my games!)

I pretty much agree with Refplace, it's basic quicksheath and Intimidation adaptation for either Fast Draw or Melee for you sword. The to-hit is probably not that horrible, a cigarette is about as long as the gap between a helm and breastplate. Maybe he's smoked it down a bit so -8? This isn't something you'd be doing to someone ready to fight you and there'd be no warning the strike was coming unless the target knew your draw technique so they'd be making a roll to avoid being surprised, and probably facing a penalty to get over mental stun after you lop their cigarette in two. |
