Blade catcher Cult/Brotherhood gift: Permits the character access to the pin weapon special effect both as a offensive and defensive special effect with their unarmed natural hand to hand weapons
Blade Grappler When fighting with a weapon of the combat style and a free hand on medium or shorter reach, the Entangle special effect is available as if they were using an entangling weapon.
Chokehold If you have established a grapple against an opponent's head, you may choose to apply 1d2 levels of fatigue instead of damage. These levels of fatigue recover very quickly (healing rate per round) once the grapple is broken. Does not generally work on Undead.
Concealing Weapons
It is often necessary to conceal weapons to avoid attention from guards or would-be targets. Characters can attempt to conceal weapons by a standard Conceal check for small weapons, with medium weapons being at Hard difficulty. Larger weapons are impossible to disguise like this.
Dagger Prowess Permits the user to treat his knfie and dagger blocks and parries as ‘Medium’ sized, enabling him to better defend himself from armed opponents.
Daredevil May use Evade to dodge blows in hand to hand combat without ending up prone.
First Strike If carried or concealed appropriately, weapons of the Combat Style can be readied as a free action.
Hidden Weapons
Allows the user to utilise seemingly innocuous objects noted as part of the style as deadly weapons, with no chance of accidental breakage despite apparent delicacy (fans or musical instruments for example).
Poisoner The style includes training in using poison on weapons and delivering it effectively to the target. The user of this Combat Style may use a Special Effect to ‘Inject Poison’, in order to deliver an Injected poison to the target on an unprotected area, ignoring any armour, but forfeiting a damage roll. Inject Poison follows the same rules as Choose Location with
regards to usage with ranged weapons. The GM may rule that a sufficiently armoured target has no unprotected areas and is therefore immune to Inject Poison
