Masters of melee weapons, knights with the weaponmastery skill are a force to be reckoned with against their fellow adventurers and denizens alike. Weaponmasters can select a specialisation based on the weapons they wish to use, either dual cutting, dual blunt, two-handed, or sword and shield.

The skill of Weaponmastery is available to to members of the four knight classes: Infernal, Paladin, Runewarden, and Unnamable.

Knights share many chivalry-derived abilities through Discipline, Dominion, Malignity and Valour though each also have their own unique skill; Infernals command the dark art of Oppression, Paladins wield the holy power of Excision, Runewardens possess the mystical talent of Runelore, and Unamables employ the otherworldly forces of Anathema.

Abilities in Weaponmastery

General Abilities

Basic skills available to all who practice weaponmastery, regardless of specialisation.

Swordplay Increased mastery of the shortsword. Lessons: 0
Syntax: None
Required:
Channels: {{{channels}}}
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown:
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: This ability works to automatically increase your damage and accuracy with a shortsword. Be warned that it will only work when you're wielding a shortsword.
Note: {{{note}}}
Specialise Gain proficiency in one of the schools of weaponry. Lessons: 22
Syntax: SPECIALISE IN <weapon style>
Required:
Channels: {{{channels}}}
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown:
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: The decision to specialise in a specific school of weaponry shall dictate the rest of your growth as a knight. You shall learn abilities specific to your chosen school as you progress further in weaponmastery.

The different schools are:

Two handed: a style which focuses on single, powerful blows with warhammers and bastard swords.
Sword and shield: a style that focuses on combination attacks, balancing offense and defence.
Dual cutting: a style that focuses on wielding two bladed weapons simultaneously. Typically based around swifter strikes to overwhelm opponents.
Dual blunt: a style that focuses on wielding two blunt weapons simultaneously, and generating momentum to unleash exceptionally damaging strikes against an opponent.

Note: you may switch your specialisation, but it shall cost you 100 lessons each time that you do so (outside of your initial selection).

Note: {{{note}}}
Envenom Coat a weapon in venoms. Lessons: 222

Works against:
Cooldown:
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
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>.
Note: {{{note}}}
Arc Swing your blade in a controlled arc. Lessons: 1324

Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: By swinging your sword in a controlled arc, you will be able to damage everyone in the room with your sword.

If you optionally specify a target, the arc shall only strike that person, but the blow is far swifter to recover from (3.00 seconds).

Note that this ability may be performed off equilibrium.

Works against: Adventurers
Cooldown: Balance cost varies based on weapon speed
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: You may now expend your momentum upon a limb while striking at the limbs

of your target to produce various effects. This will require momentum and reset the momentum decay timer. The results are different depending on if you are using a flail or a morningstar.

Morningstars:

When expending in a strike to the head, your opponent will be stunned and have their vision restored. If they are already unblind and are also prone, they will receive a skull fracture.

When expending in a strike to the torso, you will drive the air from your target's lungs, cancelling any aura of rebounding that they may have begun establishing about their person, and numbing them into paralysis. If they are already paralysed, you will crack their ribs.

When expending in a strike to the left arm, you will make them unable to parry effectively for a short time and afflict your opponent with clumsiness. If they are already clumsy, you will fracture their wrist.

When expending in a strike to the right arm, they will find themselves unable to utilise tattoos effectively for a time and will be afflicted with weariness. If they were already weary, you will crack their wrist.

Finally, when expending in a strike to either leg, your target will be knocked to the ground and become lethargic.

Flails:

When expending in a strike to the head, your target will be afflicted with healthleech. If they already have healthleech and are prone, you will fracture their skull.

When expending to the torso, you will drive the breath from their lungs and afflict them with asthma. If they are already asthmatic, you will crack their ribs.

When expending to either arm, you will cause their skin to become bloody and raw, afflicting them with darkshade. If they are already suffering from this affliction, you will fracture their wrist.

When expending to either leg, you will cause them to become clumsy. If they are already clumsy, they will be knocked off balance for a short while.

  • All expends cost 1 momentum, except expend legs with a morningstar

which costs 3.

    • All non-fracture based afflictions from flail expends relapse a short

while after they are first given, striking for a second time.
