Overview of Schools

A school represents a special area of study, usually in combat or weapons.

Each school includes 4 or more knacks. These knacks are treated as advanced knacks. As with other knacks, none of

these knacks may be increased above 6 at hero creation.

You start at Apprentice level. To achieve Journeyman , you must have rank 4 in at least 4 knacks. To achieve Master ,

you must have rank 5 in at least 4 knacks.

Knacks are not unique per school, so if you have more than one school with the same knack, those knacks are

considered the same knack in all ways.

Schools

Combat schools provide your character with expert training in a combat (usually a weapon such as a sword).

School Knacks

The school knacks are described here:

Knack

Description

Ambush (VV 94)

You know how to plan or spot an ambush. This is the same as the Ambush knack.

Arc (AV 97/EN 89)

Your ranged weapon range is increased by 5 yards for each rank in this knack.

Bear Hug (US 99)

When you have an opponent held, each time they fail to break free and at the end of each round you do (knack)k1

wounds to your opponent. Th is is the same as the Bear Hug knack on the Wrestling skill.

Beat (PG 150+CM6)

Attack using this knack, and take a number of raises equal to the defender's Brawn. If you do, they cannot use an active

defense.

Bind (PG 150)

Attack using this knack. If successful, opponent's weapon is unusable until they make a contested roll of Brawn+Parry

against your Brawn+Bind as an action. You can use an action to give yourself a +5 (cumulative) on your future rolls to

hold the bind. Note that the defender can always just let go of the weapon.

Boarding (CJE 98)

You get a bonus equal to your rank in this knack when rolling on the Boarding Action table.

If you are rolling the combat, your Brute Squads add your rank to all their rolls, and their TN to be hit.

When an opponent misses you (either Active or Passive Defense), you can lower your next action die by your rank in

this knack (but not lower than the current phase).

Charge (EN 90) Before phase 1 of the first round of combat, you may lower one action die by your rank in this knack.

Claw Hand (CJE 99) Roll Finesse + Claw Hand against opponent’s TN to be hit +10. Damage is as a normal barehanded attack, but he loses

his next action this round.

Corps-a-corps (PG 150) Attack using this knack. If successful, opponent takes (Brawn)k1 damage and is now prone.

Conceal (SD 84)

Your roll on this knack is the TN for someone to detect the weapon. This is the same as the Concel knack on the Spy

skill.

Disarm (PG 150)

If opponent's attack misses your passive defense, use an action for a contested roll of yor Brawn+Disarm against his

Brawn+Attack. If you win, he is disarmed. If you take a -10 on your roll, you can end up holding their weapon.

Double-parry

(PG 150+ CM6)

Active parry using this knack. If you succeed, you get a drama die for use in this combat round within a number of

phases equal to your rank in this knack.

Double-attack (DK 70)

Make two attack rolls using this knack, each at a – 10 to hit.

You gain your rank in this knack as extra unkept dice for all attack and active defense rolls against an opponent of the

type you know the weakness for.

Feint (PG 151+CM6) Attack using this knack, and take a number of raises equal to the defender's Wits. If you do, they cannot use an active

defense.

Hook (FR 92) You add your rank in this knack to damage done with a panzerhand.

Attack using this knack to get +2 unkept damage dice if you hit. You cannot use active defenses for the rest of this

round and your TN is 5 for this one phase.

You can use this as your defence knack against thrown weapons, arrows, stones from slings and crossbow bolts, but not

against melee attacks, irearms or cannons.

If you use this for an AD, you may make two raises in order to catch the missile. If you succeed, you gain a DD which is

lost at the end of the round.

Orders (Tactic) (EN 91) Add your rank in this knack times your mastery level (1=Apprentice, 2=Journeyman, 3=Master) to your Strategy roll

when using the appropriate tactic in a round of battle.

Pin (Knife) (VO 96) Attack using this knack at -10 to hit a person wearing cloth clothing. If you hit, your opponent's arm is pinned and he

drops whatever he was holding in his hand. It takes one action for that person to free himself.

Poison (SD 84) You know how much poison to use and how to handle it safely. This is the same as the Poison knack on the Spy skill.

Pommel Strike (PG 151) Attack using this knack. If you hit, opponent takes (Brawn)k2 damage and opponent is TN=5 for this phase and the next

phase.

Power Block (CJE 99) Cannot be used as PD, but can be used as AD against a barehanded attack.

If you take a raise, you inflict 1k1 wounds on your attacker. You may make additional raises for damage, but you may

not make a called shot.

Reflection (SBN 30)

Each time an opponent uses a Swordsman Knack against you, you can make a Wits check against a TN equal to his rank

in the knack x5. On success, you gain one rank in the knack for the remainder of the Scene. The maximum number of

ranks you can gain in a knack in this way is your rank in this knack or your opponent’s rank in the knack, whichever is

lower.

This only applies to one knack against one opponent, and can only be used against an opponent wielding the same type

of weapon.

Reload (EN 89)

Your weapon reload time is decreased by 1 Action for each rank in this knack. This is the same as the Reload knack on

the weapon.

Riposte (PG 151)

Active parry defense using rank N (where N = 1/2 your parry, rounded down). If successful, make an attack that does

not cost an action with rank M (where M = 1/2 your attack, rounded down). Your rank in Riposte can be divided and

added to M and N as you choose.

Side-step (CA 97)

When you succeed at an Active Defense, you may lower your next action die by your rank in this knack (but not lower

than the current phase). This is the same as the Side- step knack on the Athlete skill.

Snap Kick (CJE 99)

When you are attacked you may use a held or current action (not an interrupt action) to perform a snap kick. Roll Wits +

Snap Kick as an attack; if you hit you deal 2k2 wounds (do not add your Brawn) and his attack is cancelled. You may

take raises for damage or make a called shot.

Stop-thrust (VO 97)

When you are attacked, you may use a held or current action (but not an interrupt action) to counter- attack using

Wits+Stop -thrust. If you hit, you deal 3k2 wounds, and if this causes a dramatic wound then the attack they were

making on you is cancelled.

Attack using this knack. Range is 5+(2* Brawn ). This is the same as the Throw(*) knack on the * skill.

Trick Riding (US 99)

You can stand while riding (TN=10), do handstands on horseback (TN=20), hang off one side of the horse for cover

(TN=20), or do flashy t ricks. This is the same as the Trick Riding knack on the Ride skill.

(EN 89+VO96 + LV 95)

For each rank in this knack, lower penalties (such as range, cover, or called shots) on the ranged attack by 5 (to a

minimum of 0). Will not lower t he value below the base TN.
