==Blademastery==


You are now a master of one-handed sword weapons, and you will notice a drastic improvement while using them. See [[Knighthood]]'s slashing and targetting abilities for information on how to use cutting weapons.
{{AB
|skillname = Blademastery
|syntax = STRIKE <target> [LEFT{{!}}RIGHT] [<bodypart>] [<modifier> [<modifier args>]]
|description = As a Blademaster, your skill with one-handed swords is such that you now attack even faster. Additionally, as you train in the Blademastery skill, you will learn to apply modifiers to your strikes, which increase the effectiveness of your attacks even further.
|notes = Skills with the syntax "Modifier" are used to fill the <modifier> argument of Strike. For example, STRIKE ROARK SLICEFOREHEAD
}}


==ArmArtery==
{{AB
|skillname = PierceArm
|syntax = Modifier
|cost = Targetable Body Parts: Right arm, left arm <br>
Requirements: Light wounds <br>
Effects: Damagedleftarm or damagedrightarm affliction
|description = This modifier will cause your strikes to damage your target's arms.
}}


{|
{{AB
|-
|skillname = PierceLeg
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Arm<br/>
|syntax = Modifier
Minimum Wound State: Negligible<br/>
|cost = Targetable Body Parts: Right leg, left leg <br>
Maneuver: Jab or swing, one-handed sword
Requirements: Light wounds <br>
|-
Effects: Damagedleftleg or damagedrightleg affliction
|}
|description = This modifier will cause your strikes to damage your target's legs.
Cutting a major artery in the arm induces major bleeding.
}}
 
==LegArtery==
 
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Leg<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Negligible<br/>
Maneuver: Jab or swing, one-handed sword
|-
|}
Cutting a major artery in the leg induces major bleeding.
 
==Maneuvers==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>MANEUVER CREATE <name></tt><br/>
<tt>MANEUVER LIST</tt><br/>

<tt>MANEUVER PERFORM <maneuver> <inputs to maneuver's attack></tt>
|-
|}
You are now able to develop your own fighting maneuvers. You start with being able to develop a limited amount of maneuvers and gradually increase the number of maneuvers as your training in Combat and Knighthood specializations increase. Each maneuver consists of two variables: the action and the wounds. The action is the attack verb (slash, smash, strike, etc.) that will be executed during the maneuver. The wounds are a list of the specific wounds you are attempting to inflict. (Please note that it does not determine if you are able to execute the action or inflict the wound until you perform the maneuver.)
 
When you perform a maneuver, you will focus all your mental attention on the wounds specified in the maneuver. This has two benefits. First, you will only inflict wounds from that list. So if you want to always inflict a lower level wound even if the target body part is in critical condition then a maneuver consisting only of that lower level wound will do just that. Secondly, provided your wound list is small, you will be able to concentrate more than normal on perfectly executing the attack. This increases your chance of exeuting that wound. Thus if you use a maneuver that consists only of a critical level wound, you lose the ability to do the lower level wounds, but in exchange you increase the likelihood of successfully making that critical wound happen.
 
==SliceForehead==
 
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Head<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Negligible<br/>
Maneuver: Swing or Jab, one-handed sword
|-
|}
Deeply slicing into the forehead not only causes major bleeding but will hinder an opponent's ability to hit you due to the flow of blood into the eyes.
 
==PierceArm==
 
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Arm<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Light<br/>
Maneuver: Jab, one-handed sword
|-
|}
Cutting a nerve in the arm will slow the balance of that arm.
 
==PunctureLung==
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Chest<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Light<br/>
Maneuver: Jab, one-handed sword
|-
|}
A punctured lung will cause the victim to consume endurance at a very rapid rate.
 
==OpenGut==
 
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Gut<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Light<br/>
Maneuver: Jab or swing, one-handed sword
|-
|}
One of the surest ways to hinder an opponent is to slice open their gut. The bleeding from this wound may cause them to slip in their own blood.
 
==SliceEar==
 
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Head<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Light<br/>
Maneuver: Swing, one-handed sword
|-
|}
A favorite maneuver for a few infamous warriors who like collecting trophies is cutting off an opponent's ear, which also fills the ear canal with blood causing bouts of vertigo.
 
==PunctureChest==
 
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Chest<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Medium<br/>
Maneuver: Jab, one-handed sword
|-
|}
Running a blade into your opponent's upper chest will induce bleeding and occassional blackouts.
 
==SepticWound==
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Gut<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Medium<br/>
Maneuver: Swing, one-handed sword
|-
|}
Twisting your blade in the gut can cause the intestines to rupture, polluting the bowels and resulting in dysentery.
 
==Scalp==
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Head<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Medium<br/>
Maneuver: Swing, one-handed sword
|-
|}
Cutting the scalp off the head of your opponent not only causes major bleeding but nets you a rather gruesome trophy.

{{AB
|skillname = PunctureChest
|syntax = Modifier
|cost = Targetable Body Parts: Chest <br>

}}


{|
{{AB
|-
|skillname = Warcry
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Chest<br/>
|syntax = WARCRY
Minimum Wound State: Heavy<br/>
|description = Your warcry is now so powerful and intimidating that many creatures attacking your allies will be forced to consider you their primary target. You will not be able to produce a proper warcry while off-balance or on the floor, and most loyal creatures are simply so devoted to their cause that your warcry will have no effect.
Maneuver: Jab, one-handed sword
}}
|-
|}
If one lung is already punctured and the chest has taken heavy wounds, there is a chance of collapsing both lungs, causing the victim to use up far more endurance than normal, as well as giving them the inability to smoke.


==Lunge==
{{AB
{|
|skillname = Poisonist
|-
|syntax = COMBATSTYLE POISONIST
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|description = Choosing a poisonist fighting style will increase the chance of delivering a venom from your weapon at the expense of damage.
|-
}}
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>LUNGE <target> <body part></tt>
|-
|style="background:pink"|Power: 2 (Any)
|-
|}
This precision strike will avoid most of your opponent's combat defences such as rebounding, and stances, and it will do more wounding than normal. This counts as a jab.

|syntax = Modifier
|cost = Targetable Body Parts: Right arm, left arm <br>
Requirements: Heavy wounds <br>
Effects: Pacifism affliction

|-
|}
Slitting the throat causes tremendous bleeding as well as preventing the capability to eat or speak.

|syntax = Modifier
|cost = Targetable Body Parts: Head <br>
Requirements: Heavy wounds <br>
Effects: Damagedthroat affliction

}}


To remove your sword, you may use the following syntaxes:<br/>
{{AB

This strike can only be performed on a person whose nervous system has already been exposed with a severed nerve. By striking into the shoulder to tear apart the exposed nerves, you can send the nervous system into complete disarray, which will cause periodic seizures until healed.

}}
To remove your sword, you may use the following syntaxes:<br/>
<tt>WITHDRAW<br/>
WITHDRAW LEFT HAND<br/>
WITHDRAW RIGHT HAND</tt>
 
==Coule==


If you succeed in fully parrying an attack, your blade will automatically slide down the shaft of your opponent's weapon and strike their arms. This counts as a swing.
{{AB
 
|skillname = Haymaker
==Rend==
|syntax = Modifier
 
|cost = Targetable Body Parts: Any <br>
{|
Requirements: None <br>
|-
Effects: Multiple strikes <br>

| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>REND</tt>
}}
|-
|}
Instead of withdrawing your blade from your opponent, you can viciously rend it out of them, causing massive bleeding. In addition, venoms from your blade might afflict your victim.
 
==LegTendon==
 
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Leg<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Critical<br/>
Maneuver: Jab, one-handed sword
|-
|}
Severing the tendon of the leg just above the ankle is a vicious maneuver that will knock your foe down and prevent him from standing up.

{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Gut<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Critical<br/>
Maneuver: Swing, one-handed sword
|-

{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Chest<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Critical<br/>
Maneuver: Jab, one-handed sword
|-

A strike that nicks your foe's most vital organ will cause a significant burst of damage in one blow.
 
==Behead==
 
{|
|-
|style="background:pink"|Bodypart: Head<br/>
Minimum Wound State: Critical<br/>
Maneuver: Swing, one-handed sword
|-
|}
If you manage to get your opponent's head in critical condition, you have a chance of severing the head from the body. Needless to say, this results in instant death.
 
==Haymaker==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>MAKEHAY <target> [<bodypart>]</tt>
|-
|style="background:pink"|Power: 10 (Any)
|-
|}
You will need both blade-wielding arms in balance to execute the infamous haymaker maneuver. In a spurt of preternatural speed, you will twirl your swords in a blaze, attempting to strike your opponent four times. This counts as a swing. It will also strip any rebounding aura you might encounter.
