Center– The Center Stance is the Ring of Void. The
principle function of Center Stance is related to the
benefi ts it offers in iaijutsu dueling (see the rules for
Iaijutsu Duels later in this chapter), but it has benefi ts in skirmishes as well. Characters in the Center
Stance take no Actions, instead focusing their energy
in preparation for action the following round. A character in the Center Stance forfeits all Actions while
in that Stance. On the round following his adoption
of the Center Stance, the character gains a bonus of
1k1 plus his Void Ring on any one roll made during
his Turn. The character also adds 10 to the total of his
Initiative Score for that Round only.
