	TECHNIQUES
Rank 1: The way of the crane	The study of the sword demonstrates the many ways in which the art of Kakita’s technique can be applied. You add twice your Iaijutsu Skill Rank to all Initiative rolls. You gain a bonus of +1k1 plus your School Rank to the total of all attack and Focus rolls while assuming the Center Stance. This bonus also applies during the Combat Round following one in which you assumed the Center Stance.

+Freely Awarded Advantage: “Ancestor: Kakita”
– Those who have Kakita’s guidance may spend a Void point to re-roll any Iaijutsu or Artisan Skill roll with a +1k1 bonus to the second roll. They keep the better result.
- Sworn Enemy: Matsu

- Demands: Kakita was an honorable man who sought perfection in both the sword and with the artist’s brush, and he expects the same of you. If you ever lose a duel or an artistic competition, Kakita forsakes you. He also abandons you if your Honor ever drops below 4.0.

+Freely Awarded New Mechanic: Ancestral Heritage: Kakita”
– Prerequisite: Ancestor: Kakita;
– Mechanics:
– May choose to re-roll any failed roll a number of times per day equal to their Void, in or out of combat, including an iaijutsu strike. In place of the initial skill used for this re-roll, the character should substitute their Iaijutsu skill level. [clarification: the player may choose to use this mechanic over the standard ancestor Advantage mechanic. But may not elect to use the other mechanic thereafter.]
– If defending the Emperor, the Doji noble family, or a member of the Hantei house, they add a + 10 to their TN to be hit in any combat [Armor TN modifier], including iaijutsu duels. the blood of Kakita has its drawbacks, however, as Kakita was not loved by all.

+Assumed Heritage Table Results: “Illustrious Crane Past”
– Gain 1 rank of an appropriate Artisan skill. Gain 0.5 glory
