Description:
Maiming bullets got you down? Use of this ability allows the character to deflect any one ranged or firearm ranged weapon attack allowing them to avoid the damage and/or effect of the attack. This ability is only useable if a melee weapon is in the user’s hand and against a melee attack that is delivered from in front of the character and announce the tagline “Deflect Maim” clearly. The only attacks that cannot be deflected with this ability are Fatal attacks, attacks, Burst attacks, Full Effect attacks, and Terror attacks. Additionally, unforeseen extra ordinary ranged attacks including but not limited to attacks from behind, attacks from invisible creatures, or the like cannot be Deflect Maim Bulleted. However, “normal” (as defined by the Weapon Parry ability) as well as Savage, Slay, and Maim attacks from an unforeseen attacker can be deflected via a Deflect Maim Bullet. Using a ranged weapon to Deflect Maim Bullet an attack requires the character to remove one arrow, bolt, or bullet from their inventory per time used. Note: Arrow and bolt phys-reps should not be physically struck with the melee weapon. The ability cost 30 SP per use.
