Description:
The character learns to adapt his fighting style to counter his enemy’s strengths. A character reduces the skill cost in using Riposte by 3. In addition, if a character is using his dueling sword to Riposte, he can now parry with Critical Parry or Parry Slay in this maneuver (if he has said abilities) for the normal cost of Riposte (i.e.: without the reduction this ability grants).
Rank 2 of the ability lowers the skill cost more to a 6 point reduction overall. To add, the character can use Riposte to parry with Critical Parry or Parry Slay in this maneuver (if he has said abilities) for the minus 3 to the skill cost or use Parry Maim for the normal cost of Riposte (i.e.: without the reduction this ability grants).
The final rank of this ability allows the character to increase the damage of his riposte to times 3 if using their dueling sword. This rank entitles no other advantages if not used in conjunction with a dueling sword.
