Armed Combat
Armed Combat
She had performed the move thousands of time in the training yard. It
gave her only a slight edge over her opponent, but that was all she
needed. The blade fell from her enemies hands and was followed up by a
wounding trust. She smiled slightly. She never used it before in actual
battle, for battle was fortunately rare in her life. But she was sure it
had saved her life just now.
Armed combat is the domain that gives characters the offensive items and
skills used on the medieval battlefield. These give you the
prerequisites your character needs in an attack, such as a weapon,
shield and armour. But only by training in the use of your weapons can
you hope to survive.
Some skills in this domain require you to hit an opponent on a specific
part of the body. Disarming strike for example let's you call Drop
Weapon after hitting an opponent on the arm.

Most armed combat skills are done with a weapon but even if you don't
have such skills it might be wise to carry a weapon for basic
protection.
The toughness of weapons you choose is important. Some opponents may be
able to cause a break effect. Having a weapon that's tough enough
to withstand the break effect may just save your life. Bows and
crossbows come with sufficient ammunition for normal circumstances. So
you don't have to worry about running out unless a game master
indicates otherwise.
