help > skills > single-strike

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skill Name : Single-Strike Sublasses : Samurai Cost : 20 + 2/round for at most 9 more rounds Use Time : 2 round Syntax : do single-strike <target> Examples : do single-strike do single-strike sansai Only the focus and balance known by a samurai is capable of generating this marvelous feat of combat ability. A samurai can engage his or her opponent in a duel whose outcome will take the life of one or both participants in a single, masterful strike. The resolve and force of will of the samurai is such that the opponent of the samurai will be frozen briefly as he is subjected to the sudden flow of chi. Any others in combat with the two duelists will be brushed aside by the karmic power of such a contest. As the duel begins, both participants will begin to focus their chi in preparation for the eventual single moment of clarity which will decide the fate of both duelists. At any point in the duel, either duelist can embrace his or her own weakness or dishonor by fleeing or attacking before the time that fate has destined. Such action will always result in the victory of the the more balanced duelist. Should any outside person interfere with such an honorable duel, he or she will find the karmic retribution to be most unsettling for such a dishonorable act. The act of calling upon such reserves of chi are quite draining for the samurai. The honorable warrior will be unable to initiate such a focus of power for a short time afterwards. However, this in no way demeans the ordinary combat prowess of the samurai. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
