New Martial Path: Pit Spear Fighting
Written by Chris Cooper
Thursday, 21 June 2007
Pit Spear Fighting is the remarkable discipline that formed with the spread of illegal pit-fighting in various cities around Heluso. This school of fighting developed slowly, with arduous trial and many errors of a hundred experts until it became begrudgingly recognised as a legitimate-which-means-effective combat tool. The benefit of the school is that it uses short spears, which are staffs with sharp, pointed metal caps affixed to them. It is best to realise that the wooden staff is the important weapon. The tip just happens to be there.
Traditionally, Pit Spear Fighting is fought with proficient and two unarmoured opponents who appear to gouge and wrench each other bloody but in effect are practicing a delicate dance which looks vicious and creates a lot of shallow, bleeding wounds.
Casual Swat Parry (1 Point)
By declaring and rolling a Casual Swat Parry during a round, you may take one of your Wasted Die result and alter its rolled face value by one higher or one lower for that parry.
Example: Turenfel attacks Zerchentjie with a 3x2. Zerchentjie is using Casual Swap Parry and rolls 1, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3 – 2x3 and 2x4 but he has a 5 as part of his Waste Dice. By altering the 5 to 4 he has 3x4 and can parry Turenfel’s blow.
The Blindside Backhand (2 points)
If your Spear-fighter rolls two sets he may use the second if 1) the opponent attacks after the first set and 2) all the damage is set to W=S+1K. He may use this without declaring it first. Spear Fighters are notorious with slamming the butt-end of their spears into creeping back-stabbers or delivering a slap after parrying.
Sneak Offhand Parry Strike (3 Points)
By tipping the point of the spear at your enemy during a parry it will be in the way of any body part of your opponent that moves against you – like his weapon hand. This allows you to reverse the function of the attack and parry. That is, if your spear-parry is wider and faster than the attack’s width, the parry transforms into a potentially damaging attack and the opponent’s attack becomes Gobble Dice. The downside is the Height always matches the opponent’s current weapon arm.
Sublime Unification with the Dart (4 Points)
If the Spear Fighter has his Spear dice pool penalised he doesn’t lose his special die.
Rolling Wave of the Roasting Spit (5 Points)
All the Waste Dice can be adjusted one up or down if he uses Casual Swat Parry.
