Striking

Revision as of 05:02, 20 August 2018 by Thaisen (talk | contribs) (Updated all skills and transferred to new template, still need lesson breakdown)

With trained knowledge of the anatomies of many of the sentient races that walk Sapience comes the ability to exploit their physical vulnerabilities. Precise, unarmed strikes to pressure points and sensitive locations allow a master of Striking to leave a foe collapsed upon the ground, unable to breathe, or rigid with paralysis. Wielding the closed fist, spear hand, and open palm, a Blademaster may strike in tandem with many sword attacks.

The Striking skill is available to members of the Blademaster class, along with TwoArts and Shindo.
