Dashing Blade


This schtick is usually used with bladed weapons such as foils and small swords, though some character's may use it with fists. You do not suffer the usual negative modifiers for various attack stunts, though the stunt might still require some outcome. You still do suffer modifiers for attacking multiple targets. Typical stunts includes called shots and disarming strikes but particularly even more outrageous and dashing maneuvers such as initial-carving and fencing coiffure. It enables you to do all the fun but somewhat silly things done with swords in pulps Three Musketeers and pirate movies without penalty.

You can disarm an opponent simply by succeeding with a normal Martial Arts attack. The weapon falls to the ground between you. Picking it up during a brawl requires a stunt with a difficulty equal to your opponent's Martial Arts.

Note that these penalties apply mainly to maneuvers where you want to have some dashing effect. If you just want to distract or feint, you don't need this schtick.
