While in the full defense stance do not roll your defense, instead if you are attacked, you may make a reactionary roll(Mizu-do/Reflexes) against the attackers roll. If successful the attacker misses and you may immediatly make an Iajutsu strike against him. If you fail the attacker rolls and keeps an additional die of damage for every increment of 5 you missed by.
