Iaidoka

Spellcast Trait: Finesse

Sometimes, all you need is one really good strike.

Foundation
Strike as Lightning: Spend a hope and choose a target within Very Close range. Make a finesse reaction roll using your spell casting trait, if you succeed, you critically succeed instead. If you fail, your target may make a critical attack against you instead.
Specialization
Staredown: You may spend Stress to increase your Strike as Lighting check at a rate of 1 for 1.
Mastery
Deathblow: Before using Strike as Lightening, you may declare the strike to be a Deathblow. On a success, the target marks 5 HP. On a fail, make any death move besides blaze of glory.
Eighth Gate Technique: When choosing the blaze of glory death move, if your final attack defeats an enemy, you may instead recover 1 HP and keep fighting instead of dying.
