Polearms
Syntax |
STRIKE <target> [LEFT|RIGHT] [<bodypart>] [<modifier> [<modifier args>]] WEAPONSTYLE <CUTTING|BLUNT> |
As a Cavalier, your skill with polearms is such that you now attack even faster. Additionally, as you train in the Cavalier skill, you will learn to apply modifiers to your strikes, which increase the effectiveness of your attacks even further.
Additionally, strikes with polearms are able to deal either cutting or blunt damage, depending on your weaponstyle.
Additional Notes: |
Skills with the syntax "Modifier" are used to fill the <modifier> argument of Strike. For example, STRIKE ROARK SLICEFOREHEAD |
Steed
Syntax |
STEED BOND <beast> STEED UNBOND |
You may now forge a permanent bond with your beast, taking it on as your noble steed. This strong connection between man and beast increases its level, and grants the inherent abilities of mount, gallop, trot, and armour. If the bond is lost, these abilities will be forgotten in the trauma.
As you learn more in the art of being a Cavalier, so too will you learn to predict the movements of your steed, allowing you the ability to stay mounted even in unusual circumstances.

Modifier |
Targetable Body Parts: Chest Requirements: Light wounds |
This modifier will puncture your opponent's lung, leaving them gasping for breath.
Tender
Syntax |
TEND TO STEED |
It is important to ensure that your steed is always in the best condition for battle. By taking your time to care for your mount's body, mind, and spirit, you can swell their health, mana, and ego beyond normal limits.

Modifier |
Targetable Body Parts: Gut Requirements: Light wounds |
This modifier will ulcerate your target's stomach, causing vomiting.

This modifier will knock your target to the ground, as well as causing a short balance loss.
Warcry
Syntax |
WARCRY |
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.
Muster
Syntax |
BEAST MUSTER |
This ability works with your steed only. It is a faster version of the standard Beastmastery Whistle.
Mutilator
Syntax |

Choosing a mutilator fighting style will increase the bleeding caused by your attacks at the expense of bruising.

Syntax |
STEED CHARGE <target> <direction> <direction> |
Power: 1 (Any) |
Charge towards your target and attempt to carry them off in another direction. At the end of the attack, your target will be crumpled on the ground and stunned for a time dependent on how far you have traveled.
Guard
Syntax |
GUARD SELF |
The best defense is a good offense. By watching the movements of those who would attack you, you can spot when they leave themselves open to assault and quickly get in a strike before they even touch you.
Impale
Syntax |
Modifier |
Targetable Body Parts: Gut Requirements: Heavy wounds |
This modifier will drive your weapon through the gut of your opponent, impaling them to the ground.
Joust
Syntax |
STEED JOUST <target> |
This brutal, yet noble, tradition holds a great history for Cavaliers, being a sport often used for entertainment and honourable duels.
You can only joust with a mounted opponent, and you will have to take some time to gather speed. When you do finally connect with your target, you will deal massive wounds to their midriff and dismount them.
If your opponent is also a Cavalier, they can opt to accept your invitation for a joust. The outcome of this duel will depend upon a number of factors, including yours and your opponent's beast.
Pulverizer
Syntax |
COMBATSTYLE PULVERIZER |
Choosing a pulverizer fighting style will increase the bruising caused by your attacks at the expense of bleeding.
FarGuard
Syntax |
GUARD <target> |
Mounted: Yes |
From your vantage point atop your noble steed, you can see the battle raging around you. By carefully watching those who would attack your ally, you can slip in a quick jab at the aggressor before they attack your friend. You will be more likely to notice a weak defense in those attacking your allies than if you were to guard yourself.
Rend
Instead of withdrawing your blade from your opponent, you can viciously rend it out of them, causing massive bleeding.

This modifier will crush an opponent's leg, mutilating it.
Obstruction
