Description:
Dropping an opponent is often the best means of taking them out of the equation. If this attack hits the target it bypasses armor and immediately drops the target to Dead status. You must make successful weapon contact with the target to successfully deliver this tagline. This attack needs to only hit the opponent while announcing “Death Blow”. This attack can be blocked physically as well as defended against with the Critical Parry/Deflect, Fatal Parry/Deflect, Parry/Deflect Maim, Parry/Deflect Slay, and/or Unbelievable Reflex ability. In all cases, the use of aforementioned abilities will stop this attack and require the expenditure of SP from the attacker. If the Dodge or Avoidance ability is used to counter this ability, the target does not take effect and the SP are not exhausted on use. On some larger creatures this attack deals large amounts of bulk Body damage in which the response should be “Got it”. When the skill is taken it must be in one of these categories: Slashing, Blunt, Piercing, Ranged, or Firearms; in which the character needs to have at least four ranks of non-free Weapon Proficiency in a weapon in said category. This ability can be used with any weapon in the picked category. This ability can be purchased up to five times, once per each weapon category, and costs 21 SP to use.
