Improvised Assault
WaterDescrição
The character adapts something in their environment for use as an improvised weapon that suits their own fighting style. This might mean blocking hits with a chair like a shield, swinging a heavy branch like a club, or even wielding an umbrella with a swordmaster’s skill. Such improvised weapons rarely survive combat, but even if a broken sake bottle won’t hold an edge for long, a single good stab can often end a fight.
Regras
- Ativação
As a Movement and Support action, you may make a TN 2 Tactics (Water) or Smithing (Water) check using a readied improvised weapon.
- Efeitos
If you succeed, you may choose a Martial Arts [Melee] weapon profile for a weapon similar in shape to the improvised weapon (the GM has discretion over whether the substitution is appropriate). Treat the improvised weapon as having that profile, with its damage and deadliness reduced by 1. This effect persists until the end of the scene, at which point the improvised weapon gains the Destroyed quality.
Novas oportunidades
- Water : You may immediately perform a Strike action using the readied weapon.
- Water : If you succeed, choose one of the following item qualities: Cumbersome, Razor-Edged, or Snaring. The weapon is treated as having that quality.
