Blademastery

Syntax

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

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.

Additional Notes:

Skills with the syntax "Modifier" are used to fill the <modifier> argument of Strike. For example, STRIKE ROARK PIERCEARM. Modifiers do not work with daggers, but do work with shortswords.

Changelog:

• Bonecrushers and Blademasters will no longer be able to use a modifier and still wound their target. #1140 on 2017-Nov-14
