It makes an attack of 40 on the entire Zone (in this case, everyone in the barn.) So to dodge it, you need to be able to roll Athletics higher than 40, whether assisted with Substitution or by raw Athletics. Substitution out of the barn will be challenging since line of sight/travel is obstructed, so they'd probably need to find cover within the barn.
Would throwing an explosive tag, into the barn to attack the enemy ninja, inherently cause the Barn to collapse, or would the explosive tag not detonate that far out?
The Durability of wood tends to be 1 or 2 (meaning you need to roll a 10 or 20 to damage it) depending on what kind of wood. Regardless, it's not going to be standing up to an explosive tag very well. Best case scenario is it only partially collapses
Explosive attacks everyone in the Zone (so all 3 enemies) at TN 40 w/ WR:4, which means they take 4 additional stress on top of whatever they miss their roll by. 5 stress is enough to inflict a Mild Consequence on anyone. If they have a 2-box track (as Momoka does) 5 stress will be a Medium Consequence. That's generally enough to start the death spiral.
I'd vote for this. Want me to throw it into an action plan?
Nah I'll just edit mine
Plan updates
He wasn't exactly sure what she was offering - nor was his teacher. Best case scenario, putting him on a team with one of her Clan members, maybe even eventual adoption, but evidently with strings on which he would be pulled.
I think I would prefer arranging that Kenzou is not sent into the Genin Meatgrinder (and so his team is also not).Hm. If they seek to have a degree of influence over him, we could use this to our advantage. Jun is a taijutsu spec, which means that Kenzou's melee weapons skill will eventually outback Jun's.
We could use that favor so that she arranges for a Melee Weapons tutor for Kenzou. Her clan would get a limited degree of control/influence over Kenzou, and he would get skill growth.
I'm not sure if we could extend that favor to benefit the rest of the team, though, since she seems primarily interested in using Kenzou's combat abilities to protect her own clan genin and/or bring fresh blood into the clan via marriage.
If her goal is the latter, though, then a Clan-Kenzou probably wouldn't be allowed to marry his civilian girlfriend
I'm not certain that they would go for it, since "preventing action" would allow them less influence than "contributing a trainer," but we could ask Jun? He's only a chunnin, but he's also been a part of Rain since (nearly) its founding, so he should have a decent grasp of village politics --especially as it pertains to a clanless ninja.
Yeah, that's a fair point; it's worth asking Jun if he's still around on our way back.
If this is reverse psychology attempting to get me to spare him it won't work 🗿
What kind of hack writer needs to kill off beloved mentor figures?
What are you, some kinda heretic? Of course they definitely existed :^)
Durability 4, so TN 40, 4 stress box track Coincidentally, explosive tags hit at 40 with WR:4 so they inflict 5 stress worth of damage (since attackers win ties) and destroy the MEW.
