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 DOUBLEVISION |
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.
DoubleVision
| Syntax |
| Modifier |
| Targetable Body Parts: Head Requirements: Light wounds |
This modifier will addle your target's brain, leaving them reckless.
PunctureLung
| Syntax |
| 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.
Ulcer
| Syntax |
| Modifier |
| Targetable Body Parts: Gut Requirements: Light wounds |
This modifier will ulcerate your target's stomach, causing vomiting.
Cleave
| Syntax |
| CLEAVE <target> <body part> |
This maneuver will allow you to cleave smoothly through defences such as shields and jab the blade of your great axe into your foe, all in one movement.
BreakArm
| Syntax |
| Modifier |
| Targetable Body Parts: Right arm, left arm Requirements: Light wounds |
This modifier will cause your strikes to damage your target's arms.
Sunder
| Syntax |
| Modifier |
| Targetable Body Parts: Any Requirements: None |
This modifier will cause your strike to bypass parry and deal double the wounds as a normal strike.
BreakLeg
| Syntax |
| Modifier |
| Targetable Body Parts: Right leg, left leg Requirements: Light wounds |
This modifier will cause your strikes to damage your target's legs.
KnockDown
| Syntax |
| Modifier |
| Targetable Body Parts: Right leg, left leg Requirements: Light wounds |
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 |
| COMBATSTYLE MUTILATOR |
Choosing a mutilator fighting style will increase the bleeding caused by your attacks at the expense of bruising.
SteedCharge
| 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.
Changelog:
- Cavalier PinCharge and SteedCharge can now be performed at the tree and flying elevations if your steed is trained with the appropriate skills. (#1303 on 02-26-2018)
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.
JaggedWound
| Syntax |
| Modifier |
| Targetable Body Parts: Any
Requirements: Light wounds |
By carefully controlling your weapon, this modifier allows you to split your strike between bruising and bleeding, both of which increase based on your opponent's wounds.
CrushArm

| Modifier |
| Targetable Body Parts: Right arm, left arm
Requirements: Critical wounds |
This modifier will crush an opponent's arm, mutilating it.
Hook
| Syntax |
| PARRY <bodypart> <weight> HOOK |
You may prepare to hook attacks against a single bodypart. If you successfully parry, you will knock your aggressor's weapon with the shaft of your polearm and pull them off balance.
CrushLeg
| Syntax |
| Modifier |
| Targetable Body Parts: Right leg, left leg Requirements: Critical wounds |
This modifier will crush an opponent's leg, mutilating it.
Obstruction
| Syntax |
| STEED OBSTRUCT <target> |
Focus your steed's sights on a single player, harrying him to block that person's escape. If the steed is successful, the person will find themselves kicked to the ground and perhaps trampled, causing deep wounds to their body.
PiercePlexus
| Syntax |
| Modifier |
| Targetable Body Parts: Chest Requirements: Light wounds |
This modifier will pierce your opponent's chest, causing paralysis. Additionally, they will be stunned for a duration dependent on their wounds
Wind
| Syntax |
| Modifier |
| Targetable Body Parts: Gut Requirements: Light wounds |
This modifier will knock the wind from your target, causing balance loss that scales with their wounds.
PinCharge
| Syntax |
| STEED PINCHARGE <target> <direction> |
| Power: 2 (Any) |
Charge at your target with your polearm ready to knock them down and impale them viciously through the gut.
Changelog:
- Cavalier PinCharge and SteedCharge can now be performed at the tree and flying elevations if your steed is trained with the appropriate skills. (#1303 on 02-26-2018)
Maul
| Syntax |
| STEED MAUL <target> |
| Requirements: Two critically wounded arms/legs and two heavily wounded arms/legs, plus at least one mutilated arm/leg. Power: 3 (any) |
If your opponent's limbs are sufficiently damaged, your steed can tear them apart, resulting in death.
Skewer
| Syntax |
| SKEWER |
| Requirements: Impaled, critical gut wounds, critical chest wounds |
If your target is impaled and sufficiently wounded, you can skewer the entirety of their body on your polearm, killing them instantly.
