A New Quickstart Character

We have something different for you this week. We created an additional character for the quickstart campaign. The character, Murakami Katashi, plays a bit differently compared to the other characters. He wears armor and has a perk called Pain Resistance. At level 3 the Pain Resistance perk negates the stun status effect and gives a +3 bonus to Consciousness checks. Murakami also has the Distraction perk which allows him to throw a single small throwing weapon from a holster per turn using his Mixed skill score. This takes no time but uses a single stamina point.

Murakami’s armor and the Pain Resistance perk are especially useful when combined with his Counter Attack Combat Move. Counter Attack allows a character to attack instead defending. What this means is that if someone attacks against Murakami in melee, he may choose to ignore defending and instead attack the attacker. If he does so, no opposite combat checks are rolled. Instead both the original attacker and Murakami roll an attack roll TN7. If they succeed they hit their target. Using an aimed attack with or against a Counter Attack is not possible. The original attacker may also decide to roll a defense roll against the Counter Attack instead of finishing his attack.

Murakami Katashi is a loyal member of the Murakami Clan. He strictly follows the old traditional bushido and this shows in his behavior as he is very polite and somewhat rigid. Despite of his considerable skills Katashi is seen as an average samurai. This is mostly because of Katashi’s modesty and the fact that he is not part of the respected naval forces.
