Je recopie ici :
Donc voilà : inutile de réinventer le fil à couper le beurre,* : tout est làQ. The Mirumoto has Kenjutsu (katana), and so he
does get to add his kenjutsu ranks to his Iaijutsu rolls
(Mirumoto Technique Rank 1, page 125). However,
Iaijutsu (page 102) does not have emphases, so a Kakita
does not get this benefit when using Iaijutsu in skirmish
(Kakita Technique Rank 1, page 122). Furthermore,
only the skill ranks, masteries and emphases are copied,
but not the associated Trait. So a Kakita, when substituting
Iaijutsu for kenjutsu must still use agility. Correct?
A. Not exactly. Here's how it works. The only thing
that carries over is the skill rank. However, any Mastery
benefits that still apply in that situation stick around.
For example: Mirumoto Bill is fighting in an Iaijutsu
Duel. Bill has 5 Kenjutsu. He gets to use Kenjutsu instead
of his Iaijutsu rank, but every other part of the duel
remains the same as normal. He still gets to spend an
additional Void Point on a single damage roll with a
katana, because that's a benefit of having Kenjutsu 5 and
that doesn't go away. (A Crane with Kenjutsu 5 would
be getting the same advantage in such a duel.) Bill
doesn't get to add 5 to his Iaijutsu roll for using an
Emphasis, because Iaijutsu has no Emphases. His Katana
Emphasis is irrelevant here.
Now let's look at the flip side. Kakita Ted is fighting
in a skirmish using Kenjutsu. He has Kenjutsu 5, Katana
Emphasis, and Iaijutsu 7. He gets to use his Iaijutsu 7 for
all Skill rolls, but he gains all the normal bonuses a character
is entitled to on a Kenjutsu roll. This means he
gets to spend the additional void point on damage
(Kenjutsu 5 mastery) and he gets to add 5 to his total
(Katana Emphasis bonus).
The only thing that swaps out is the Skill Rank.
Everything else stays the same. Thus it behooves a
Kakita or Mirumoto to gather ranks in both.

Donc on ne peut pas utiliser la spécialisation de Kenjutsu en Iaijutsu, mais les bonus des Maîtrise de Compétences continuent de s'appliquer
