Just put my order in for the mighty power house that is Izamu but wanted to check i've got the Object rule correct.

Can Object # reduce the damage taken to 0, or is it to a minimum of 1 as with Armour?

Thanks in advance!

Simple Answer: Object and armor mitigate incoming dmg in two different ways. Armor reduces damage and object reduces wounds. So if you take 4 damage armor will reduce it by 2 then it converts to wounds and object reduces the wounds by 2 a minimum of 1.


Long Answer: So you still take 1 wound just like if you had 2 damage coming in and armor would reduce that to 1. So if you take 5 damage izamu takes 3 wounds. Give him armor and he takes 1 wound. If you can give him spirit AND armor in top of object any strike that deals 10 or less damage will be reduced to 1 wound. (Spirit splits it in half and then you drop 2 from armor and then convert to wounds where object reduces it by another 2.

Awesome! Thanks for that mate, I think Izamu's going to need a buddy then, I knew Lost Love would come in handy somewhere!

Yup if you run kirai and nicodem in a brawl you can get.spirits, corpse counters and a beat stick in the armored up izamu

That does sound fun! Plus I already have the Grave spirit too so bolt him onto Izamu and just let him go mad!

So it's a good thing I have one coming in the mail as well. I bought it on a hunch, but it looks like it'll be a good addition to Kirai.

Izamu is finding his way into plenty of crews. He's just a beatstick and can do a lot with that. Granted he is expensive for what Kirai likes, but it's all good

It'll allow me to run a crew of fewer models. For the moment, that's a great feeling. I love having all I need for a game in a single C4 from Battlefoam. I was getting tired of lugging around huge army cases.
