[HOE] Martial arts question

[Robert Holland <robert@macauley.com>]

The fu power Anticipate the Cobra says: "To use Anticipate the Cobra your hero
must have an Action Card available to use as a vamoose. Once your waster
sacrifices his highest card, make a ch'i roll to activate the power. If it
succeeds, the TN for his opponent's attack is raised by +4, plus an additional
+2 for each raise on the roll."

Does this mean you make a normal vamoose check (i.e. dodge, generally), then
roll ch'i and add the bonus to it, or that you just roll ch'i and add to the
bonus to the base TN? The second one is implied, but it seems not much better
than a regular dodge (given that martial artists are likely to have high
Nimbleness scores and dodge skills), besides which the action described by the
flavor text is basically a souped-up dodge, so it seems like it should use the
same mechanic.

Ideas?
