Or a Daidoji Harrier. Or a lot of other groupings in the Empire.Iaijutsu is intended for duels, not normal combat. Especially if you play in Rokugan, it just doesn't really fit into non-duel situations. If you want to use it, you should adhere to the additional restrictions that are found in some rokugani books:Iaijutsu works only in the following situations:- When both characters strike in a formal Iaijutsu Duel. (both get their strike - assuming the loser survives the winner's strike and it's not only for first blood), both are flat-footed and can't use any ability to prevent that- As a full-round action when the character is drawing his weapon as his first action for the combat and has a haigher init. The opponent must be flat-footed and the action draws an AoO- When using on an inanimate object (full-round action)Remember that you can give up one of the seven virtues of bushido and still be a samurai, but you must commit yourself even more to another virtue. A Scorpion samurai's code of conduct could mean that they give up their "honor" and commit themselves to "duty"</blockquote>
