A True Bonecrusher (by Sid)

Bonecrush

You are now a master of one-handed bludgeoning weapons, and you will notice a drastic improvement while using them. See Knighthood's bashing and targetting abilities for information on how to use one-handed bludgeoning weapons.

BloodyNose

Bodypart: Head

Minimum Wound State: Negligible
Maneuver: Jab, one-handed bludgeon weapon class

A bloody nose, while rarely fatal, will result in a loss of blood.

BreakJaw

Bodypart: Head

Minimum Wound State: Light
Maneuver: Jab, one-handed bludgeon weapon class

A person with a broken jaw will take damage while eating.

BreakNose

Bodypart: Head

Minimum Wound State: Light
Maneuver: Swing, one-handed bludgeon weapon class

A broken nose not only bleeds heavily but will stun an opponent.

Maneuvers

Syntax:
MANEUVER CREATE <name>

MANEUVER LIST
MANEUVER DROP <name>
MANEUVER DEVELOP ACTION <maneuver> <attack>
MANEUVER DEVELOP WOUNDS <maneuver> <wound list, up to fifteen>
MANEUVER SHOW <maneuver>
MANEUVER PERFORM <maneuver> <inputs to maneuver's attack>

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.

FractureArm

Bodypart: Arm

Minimum Wound State: Medium
Maneuver: Jab or Swing, one-handed bludgeon weapon class

Fracture the arms, slowing the balance on that arm.

Knocking the wind out of an opponent will cause him or her to lose balance.

SlapKnuckle

Bodypart: Arm

Minimum Wound State: Light
Maneuver: Jab, one-handed bludgeon weapon class

Slapping the knuckles with your bludgeoning weapon may make a wielded item be unwielded.
