First time poster here with some quick questions.

Is there a penalty for trying to defend against attacks from different target? (aka attack from soldier one, two and three)

If you create a technique that gives you +75 attack (primary) and +100 limited dodge (secondary) and also sustaining that (14 dex ki(6 maint) and 19 agi ki (6 maint)), then he would have +75 attack on one of his attacks right? and then if he combine that with the sample technique Velocitas Ventus on page 106 (+3 limited attacks and +50 init), he would get +75 attack to one of those attacks?

Wellcome to the boards 

1.) Anima dosn't distinguish between attackers but gives penalties based how often you have to defend: For the 2nd defense you get a -30, for the 3rd a -50 for the 4th a -70 and for any defense after that a -90. These penalties are not applied if you use supernatural shields to defend.

2.) a +75 attack(single) +100 limited dodge  ki technique gives one of your attacks a +75 attack bonus and all your defenses a +100 dodge bonus - thought you won't be able to counter attack on a successfull defense.

3.) Sadly, you can't combine any effects from two or more Ki techniques unless all are Combineable (a advantage added with the book Ki Dominion), so you can't asing the +75 attack bonus to any of those 3 limited attacks but only to any one normal attack you could make.

Thanks for the answer.

After I had posted this I realized that there is a Table for it in the rule book (table 41, page 84).

Also the ki technique got cleared up since it was the first time the player created a character for the game and the rest of us are really rusty on the rules still. So he re-rolled his technician to a Tao instead. (with GM's approval of course)

I just hope I can start to roll better in the future.

it's a good idea for him to have changed to tao, technicians are probably one of the harder classes to start with anyway. Once you all get a feel for the system, try your hand at it again. If you have any other questions about techniques, the community will be happy to help
