Yep. This applies to NPCs. The hope is that this, combined with max HP, will mean just blasting your highest ranked techniques and hoping for the opponent to miss won't dictate every fight. It should be like a puzzle every time, creating a weakness in your opponent and then exploiting it at the right time.<br/><br/>For Tashi, buying the legendary true Iaito would mean losing 2 wealth as it is above purchase DC 15 and is 1-10 points higher than his wealth, both of which reduce your wealth by 1 point.<br/><br/>But yes, that shouldn't be too much of a problem otherwise.
