The Ki Blast replaces a regular Strike action (Head Strike, Torso Strike, or Leg Strike).
It must still be targeted the same way and it deals the same damage.
However, a Ki Blast that is properly blocked will not deal retaliatory damage to the user.
For example, assuming I attack my opponent's head. Unfortunately, they have chosen Head Block as their defensive action, and have a not insignificant AGL of 5:
A Head Strike would deal no damage and I would take 10 damage in retaliation.
A Head Ki Blast would deal no damage.
The Ref has AGL 20
can you strike the ref?, or perhaps go all out against them?
If you want to make an enemy of someone whoβs twice as strong and twice as fast as you could possibly be, go ahead. I wouldnβt recommend it myself but then again, Iβm just the tournament organizer.

Well if we all hit the ref together we can find out that the real winners are the friends we met along the way.

Asking - from outside the tournament, even - can Trickster be used to redirect someone's attack to the Ref?

Listen, I don't understand why people are so obsessed with The Ref. There's nothing odd about him.
He's a sweet, kindly, cherub-faced old man with the ability to crush rocks with his bare hands and outspeed a bullet train and the proclivity to fly into an unshakeable rage when he hears about people undermining the sanctity of this competition.
He's wise to your Trickster shenanigans, he's shrugged off more than a few instant-kill techniques, and they say that on the day he first cries, the Earth itself will mirror his sorrow.
If you wouldn't try it on your grandma, don't try it on this fragile old man.

M.W. in the house!! Let's het this fight started!! Also, please stop trying to fight my ref friend, I would like to defeat you guys myself and not won just cause you all fought the OP!!
"May the moon watch over you and keep you safe through the night, 'till the morning comes and MamaWolf can protect you through the day"
which stats do you end up with if you get no traits?
first set, last set, choose a fourth...?
As the tiniest bit of compensation, you can choose your stat spread during Day 1, after you're aware of what Traits aren't present in the Tournament. Maybe that's about as valuable as a real Trait? (It is not.)
If you don't specifically select a new stat spread, I'll default to 3/3/3
So you if you want to win you need to knock these suckers out
Clearly Strength is the best stat
But the person with the most agility will knock suckers out first
Obviously Agility is the best stat
But the person with the most health won't be phased by fast hits
I guess endurance is the best stat

Hey! I am so sorry to do this, but I will no longer be able to be a part of this Phalla. I have a lot of stuff going on right now and have a convention coming up this weekend and thought I would have time, but I don't know if I can commit the time this really needs.
So sorry guys!! I need to drop out rather than be inactive!! Good luck y'all!!
"May the moon watch over you and keep you safe through the night, 'till the morning comes and MamaWolf can protect you through the day"
I'm fine with taking as much time as needed for folk to get set up, but understand if Sir Fab has a limited window to start/stop too

Game will start in 4 hours.
Any missing Trait information will be interpreted as a request for no Trait.
Any missing stat information will be assigned 3/3/3, unless the player submitted 3 Traits and was randomly bumped down to having no Trait. If this is the case, they will have until the end of Day 1 to submit their desired stats or they will be assigned 3/3/3.
Edit: I've been asked privately if PMs are allowed during day 0. They are.

I know so many many many MANY of my fans wanted me to compete ag~nyaaan~ this year after the mean ol' Ref knocked me out of last year's competition :evil: , but I just COULD NOT let Leggy bore everyone to death with his commen(:zzz:)tary. Isn't that right, Leggy??!"
"Chiha-"
"Right! :heartbeat: Now, let's get down to brass t~nyaaa~cks :biggrin: We've got a lot of super-cool fighters registered today! I wanna sink my fangs right into 'em :twisted:!!!!!!
And I'm really happy to say that none of them studied any boring fighting styles. This crop of competitors has no Analysts and no Ki Blasters to make the bouts less exciting by standing at a distance and waiting! :mad: No, they all get right into the action! Punches! :eek: Kicks! :tell_me_more: Even...... some biting?!?! :redface: They must have watched me last year! :cool:
I just want them to GET GOING AL-READ-Y.
If there's no action in about two seconds I'm gonna start a ru- OHHH!! LEGGY!!!! THEY'RE SELLING LITTLE FLAGS FOR EACH OF THE FIGHTERS IN THE LITTLE GIFT SHOP! I GOTTA GO SEE THIS!"

Let's have a... word from the Referee of this tournament."
The screen above the battlefield crackles to life, showing the beatific grin of a wrinkled old man.
"No Tricksters made it into this year's group. We've got a nice, clean match set out for us. At least," a glint appears in his eye and his muscles tense, "we'd better."
"Thank you Referee. I imagine this tournament will proceed without a-"

"WoooooooooaaaaaaaaAAAH! :eek: The fighters are coming out onto the field! The battle's about to start! Leggy! Cut to the ref!! I forgot the camera controls :exclamation:"
Once again the screen centers on the wizened man in striped black and white. He simply raises his hand above his head, then chops it down.
"Begin!"
Tl;dr: None of the following Traits were selected for the Tournament, [Analyst, Ki Blast, Wrestler, "Just this once, let me go all out", or Trickster].
All other Traits have at least 1 representative.
Day 1 begins now, and all participants will shortly receive a PM with their assigned Trait.

Eating people's faces is the worst stat, discrider, because it involves eating people's faces
Hmm.

What if they try to eat your face first?
