How would a PC take advantage of the additional range provided by a yari or naginata against an opponent using a katana?
Assuming the PC isn't using Iron Forest Style, the rules state that when choosing a stance, they may move up to 2 range bands in a Skirmish, or move 1 band after taking an action.
Let's say they start at range 1 of each other. Naginata user moves to range 2 of their opponent and strikes, then using Water Stance to move to range 3. In Katana User's turn, he moves 2 range bands in any stance and then strikes.
So what's the advantage of a long weapon if someone with a shorter weapon can just move up to you in their turn and attack? What am I misunderstanding?
