Atemi Attacks Clarification (Reminder and Mechanic)

Atemi Attacks
A number of Kiho, primarily Martial but including some of other types, require precise nerve attacks in order to be executed successfully. Because of the exacting precision necessary to execute these attacks, they do not inflict normal unarmed damage; they inflict no damage other than to allow the effects of the Kiho in question to take place. When making the atemi attack, the monk may either spend a Void Point or make a TN 15 Meditation / Void roll as a free action, and then they make a melee attack roll with the Atemi Emphasis of the Jiujutsu Skill. All atemi attacks must touch bare skin in order to be effective. Because of this, all forms of armor double the normal bonus they confer to an individual’s Armor TN against these attacks.
--Note: For the Kaito Shrine Keeper, instead of a Jiujutsu (Atemi) attack, they make a Kyujutsu (Atemi) attack
