Somebody should probably clue Ishi and or his player in on what we're talking about here? Because I/we have no idea what's going on.

Re: OOC Chatter
Reminder:
In 5ed you can change stance at the start of your turn, even in the first turn. The stance you choose for Initiative does not lock you in it.
So, for example, you can roll Initiative with Earth, and thus be protected against critical strikes from opportunities until your next turn, or roll it with Air and get a sweet +1TN until your next turn. Then, at the start of your turn, go Water to unsheathe and strike in the same turn.

Y'know, I was sorta, "well, whatever" on 5E's mechanics, but man, do I fucking despise the duel system

Carries his katana in an old, drab, battered saya. As of Day 13, wears a delicately carved bracelet of wooden beads polished smooth, laced through with red, yellow, and orange string and a small Phoenix token.

Re: OOC Chatter
Honestly with two players well versed with the system I think I'd probably love dueling - which was definitely never the case in past editions.
It's a lot of thinking ahead, trying to prepare or counter for the choices you think they'll make, while knowing they're doing the same for you.
But, yeah, at a beginner level - it hurts. You don't know the combinations yet, it references a bunch of rules all over the place, and since your opponent is (probably) as unacquainted as you are the cerebral aspect isn't there yet either.
