Swashbuckling combines fast movement with a quick wit, witty repartee, and a flashing rapier. Prove that elegance and subtlety of approach will always dominate over brute force.
Swashbuckling combines a rapier and a keen mind to produce a truly effective fighting machine. The skill includes methods to deal death from above or parry multiple places at once, your blade moving with breathtaking speed. Moving between various specialised stances and dance about with acrobatic ease, avoiding any damage from your clumsy opponent's blade.
Swashbuckling can only be truly effective when undertaken with a song-blessed rapier, as everyone knows. To gain the blessing, simply take your rapier to the Grotto of Song, which is off the beach in Tasur'ke. Once you have completed "BATHE RAPIER IN SONG" you will have the perfect tool for the ultimate swashbuckler.
The Swashbuckling skill is available to members of the Bard class, along with Voicecraft and Harmonics.

Envenom | Coat a weapon in venoms. | |
Syntax: | ENVENOM <weapon> WITH <venom> WIPE <weapon> | |
Details: | With this ability, you may layer venoms on an edged weapon. Each time that weapon hits somebody, one venom will poison your opponent, and disappear from the weapon. They work on a last-on, first-off basis, so if you put xentio on a weapon, and then put voyria on, the voyria would come off first, and the xentio second. You must have the selected venom in a vial in your inventory. In order to get rid of the venoms on a weapon, simply WIPE <weapon>. |
Somersault | Quickly somersault past obstructions, even when bound. | Lessons: 943 |

Dodging | Avoiding attacks from the sky. | Lessons: 1047 |

Syntax: | DEATHFROMABOVE <target> | |
Works against: | Adventurers | |
Cooldown: | 2.50 seconds of balance | |
Details: | Leap down upon your unsuspecting enemy who is knocked to the ground and caused to black out momentarily by your brilliant attack. You must be in the trees, a ship's rigging or leaping into the air to begin with, and your target must be on the ground below. |
Trueparry | Such is your mastery that you may parry a larger area. | Lessons: 1598 |
Syntax: | PARRY left leg|left arm|right leg|right arm|head|torso TRUEPARRY centre|left|right|none | |

Details: | The trueparry ability, combined with the weaponry parry ability, allows you to actively defend attacks against two parts of your body. 'centre' parries attacks to both the head and torso.

Required: | 50 mana | |
