Hm'st've.

Ye, you're right on that. And I think I kinda brain blasted myself in my own explanation. I think what you're saying makes sense, but the big (it's actually like, super small) issue is 'what happens if the target is stabbed and they leave the pointy end inside?'

So this would be about the thematics about how the ability would work, not the mechanics. NGL, I actually forgot that the word 'thematics' existed. BEEN A LONG DAY. I'm now thinking that if the target gets stabbed and it would be enough to basically breach the combined defense, it would basically demolish both of their health. Target would still get stabbed and Kori would eat the full bit of damage. She'd basically be a tank weak to pierce, which is a pretty standard affair in RPGs.
