Iajitsu Damage

[emoplato]

Is the damage derived from this precision because I was tooling around in the Oriental Adventures and I never saw anything saying it being precision or creatures lacking anatomies and/or immune to critical hits being immune to this damage despite it can only be dealt to a flat-footed and/or immobilized opponent. I had always found D&D to be very clear in regards to precision damage so I am thinking it isn't but I want to be sure

If it doesn't list it as precision damage or state how constructs, plants, and undead are immune to damage, it probably isn't precision damage.

Okay, thanks, by the way since Iajitsu requires sheathing would there be an attack of opportunity still be provoked if the character is weilding two weapons? You know such as he sheaths one katana but leaves the other out. Also would it be an abuse of free actions to perform multiple Iajitsu strikes if the person remains flat-footed?

 

[Dandu]

I wouldn't get worked up over it, unless I saw a problem in actual play.

 

[emoplato]

So is that a yes it still would or no it would not provoke attacks of opportunity?

 

[Dandu]

Drawing does not provoke. Sheathing does. If you have the TWF feat, you can draw two weapons in the time it normally takes to draw one.

Emoplato, the word you're looking for is "Iaijutsu".

This is a bit off-topic but I don't want to unnecessarily create a new thread unless I have to so:

Would Iaijutsu attacks stack with Swordsage Manoeuvres such as (Diamond Mind) Sapphire Nightmare Blade which can make the Opponent flat footed?

To clarify, Sapphire nightmare blade requires a Standard Action + Con Check to make the Opponent Flat footed to the attack part of the manoeuvre. Would I be able to do an Iaijutsu Check along with that attack?

Yes. As long as you satisfy the Iaijutsu requirements (enemy flat-footed, your weapon sheathed) you can make the check with any attack.

Yes. As long as you satisfy the Iaijutsu requirements (enemy flat-footed, your weapon sheathed) you can make the check with any attack.

Sweet, my Himura Kenshin type character is coming along nicely.
