Description:
One of the most devastating things that can happen to a front line fighter is to lose a limb. Successful use of this ability renders whatever limb is hit useless in combat, effectively crushing the limb’s bones. This ability affects whichever limb is hit. Torso hits cause 30 points of Body damage and do not crush any limb. Crushed limbs require special magic or doctorial treatment to be rendered useful again. The tagline “Crushing Blow” should be made when this ability is used and only a blunt weapon can be used with this ability. Additionally this ability can only be used once per combat and it cost 18 SP per use.
At rank 2, this allows the character to be able to use Crushing Blow as many times in a combat as they see fit. Additionally, torso hits cause 60 points of Body damage, yet do not crush a limb. The Tagline ‘Slugger’ should be announced with Rank 2.
