You learn to grab the blade of your sword, and maneuver it between the gaps of your opponent's armor.
Prerequisite(s): Weapon Proficiency (Sword)
Benefit(s): The sword being wielded can be maneuvered for two types of attacks.
Piercing: The sword's damage dice is reduced to 1d6 and deals piercing damage. This ignores 2 points of the opponent's armor bonus.
Bludgeoning: The sword's damage dice is reduced to 1d6 and deals bludgeoning damage. This attack is also compared to the opponent's Fortitude Defense or they are staggered for 1 round. If this bypasses their Fortitude Defense by 5 or more, they are staggered for an additional round.
