Description:
Sometimes you just need to kill your foe. This ability drops the target straight to “Slain Dead” status. Only special forms of natural healing can remedy this effect, though most magical means of restoring life will work. This attack needs to only hit the opponent while announcing “Slay”. This attack can be blocked physically, as well as defended against with the Deflect, Fatal Parry/Deflect, Parry Maim, and/or Parry/Deflect Slay ability. In all cases the use of aforementioned abilities stop this attack and require the expenditure of sp. If Dodge or Avoidance are used to counter this ability, the target does not take effect and the sp are not exhausted. On some larger creatures, this attack deals large amounts of bulk Body damage. When the skill is taken, it must be in one of these categories: Slashing, Blunt, Piercing, Ranged, or Firearms; the character needs to have at least four (4) ranks of Non-Free Weapon Proficiency in a weapon in said category. This ability can be used with any weapon in the chosen category. This ability can be purchased up to five times, once per each weapon category, and costs 24 sp to use.
