Abilities
Abilities
Certain Samurai abilities work on a mechanic called Draw Out, representing a closed, passive stance that suddenly breaks into a powerful offensive attack. Draw Out can only be used with a Katana, Knife, Sword, Greatsword, Rapier or Polearm. Draw Out can also not be used if there is anything in the Off-Hand, such as a secondary weapon or a shield (but can be used with a 2H weapon such as a Greatsword or Polearm). Draw Out effects apply only to the first attack used in a round. Non-weapon abilities (such as Warding Circle or Spellcasting) may be used prior to the Draw Out.
Samurai Feature Abilities
Spirit Bind
Feature - Support Ability
Description:
Effect: When a creature is KO'd in the character's Rampart, it creates a Bound Spirit in that square. The Spirit is intangible and can move through other creatures and may occupy the same square as another creature. A Bound Spirit counts as an adjacent enemy for abilities that give bonuses to adjacent enemies, but cannot be targeted or affected by abilities, and do not take damage or block line of sight. A character may have one Bound Spirit per Samurai Rank. Bound Spirits disappear when a new one is created after the maximum is reached, or if the character is KO'd.
