Description:
Often killing a foe is not good enough, you just need to dust their ass. This devastating combat ability rends a target’s soul from their body. This forces them straight into the Twilight, bypassing the standard death count, dusting their body, and in effect, causing the immediate loss of one life. This attack needs to only hit the opponent while announcing Fatal Blow. This attack can be blocked physically but only defended against with the Fatal Parry/Deflect ability. In the case of Fatal Parry/Deflect, this stops the attack and requires the expenditure of sp. If Dodge or Avoidance is used to counter this ability, the target does not take the effect and the SP are not exhausted. On some larger creatures, this attack deals an extreme amount of bulk Body damage. When the ability is taken, it requires the character to pick one specific weapon type (short sword, rifle, crossbow, etc.) in which the character needs to have at least twelve ranks of non-free Weapon Proficiency invested in said weapon. This ability can be used with the weapon type that is picked. This ability can be purchased as many times as desired if the prerequisites are met, and costs 30 SP to use.
