Special Katas: Geometric Defense
By Flash Fire

The Geometric Defense is a combination of defensive Kime and Warrior Spirit. The duelist circles around their opponent in a defensive stance, blocking each attack made by the opponent with ease. This is done in a precise manner and with as little emotion as possible. The opposing duelist will percieve the flowing, almost dance-like defenses as nearly impenatrable, as every move is countered by a specific and defined motion.
Rather than roll a 20-sider to parry as usual, the defender rolls against Advanced Mathmatics (at +20%). The attacker's strike roll is subtracted from the character's Mathmatics score. Every successful roll results in a blocked attack, in what is effectively a Circular Parry or Multiple Dodge. If all attacks are blocked, the end effect, besides not getting hit, will be a perceived indomitable defense. This boosts the character's MA to 17 or +4, whichever is higher. Attackers must roll over the character's Trust/Intimidate score or will be at -4 to Strike for the rest of the combat.
