How they work:
Choose from the below categories, a suite of cards that best match the type of damage your character inflicts:
BLUNT: Damaged caused by non-penetrating force.
SLASHING: Damaged caused by a sharp edge.
PIERCING: Damaged caused by a sharp point.
Choose one of the styles below, based on the style of combat being performed:
FINESSE: A character who fights with style and grace, like a Swashbuckler or Martial Artist.
POWER: A character who fight is based on strength and vigor, such as the Barbarian or Thug.
RANGE: A character who is using a thrown or distance weapon such as a javelin or bow.
Select one or more Action-Words to describe your attack. (The action-words and cards can stack with each other!)
For example, one card could provide a ‘Stylish’ attack while two could provide a ‘Stylish’ and ‘Deceptive’ attack.
Draw as many cards as you like and use action words provided to enhance your description.
Finally, each action word contains two descriptions to serve as your examples. There's one non-deadly description and one killing blow description (mark with a skull).
Use them as written or modify them to best fit.
