Greatsword

Syntax
STRIKE <target> [LEFT|RIGHT] [<bodypart>] [<modifier> [<modifier args>]]

As a Pureblade, your skill with two-handed swords is such that you now attack even faster. Additionally, as you train in the Pureblade skill, you will learn to apply modifiers to your strikes, which increase the effectiveness of your attacks even further.

Additional Notes:
Skills with the syntax "Modifier" are used to fill the <modifier> argument of Strike. For example, STRIKE ROARK OPENCHEST

Requirements: Light wounds
Effects: Internalbleeding affliction

This modifier will damage the insides of your opponent, causing internal bleeding

Your warcry is now so powerful and intimidating that many creatures attacking your allies will be forced to consider you their primary target.
