Howling Gale Defense
Descrição
Like a tree branch snapping in the wind, a staff can become a blur of motion in the hands of a skilled wielder, deflecting oncoming attacks and intercepting blows that might otherwise prove telling. By incorporating a staff into one's defense, a fighter becomes much better able to control the harm oncoming blows inflict, steel catching on swift-moving wood instead of hewing armor or biting vulnerable flesh.
Regras
- Ativação
While you make a check to resist a critical strike, if you have a readied staff (such as a bō), you may spend as follows:
: If you reduce the critical strike’s severity to 0, you do not suffer the effects of the critical strike.
: If you would suffer the Bleeding condition as a result of the critical strike, you do not suffer that condition, and your staff gains the Damaged item quality instead.
