I'm doing this in a slightly different format than others cause I can't remember the proper syntax.

arm
light SKINARM - swing
Skins off a layer of the arm, making the victim have a strong reaction to sunlight, affectily giving them a sun allergy

medium CUTSHOULDER - jab or swing
Cuts the link between the shoulder reducing the affectivness of a shield

heavy DISARM
This not only makes the victim drop their weapon, but it infact removes the arm from the body, requiring the Victim to regenerate the arm.

leg
light DEADLEG
This attack causes so much pain it makes the victim drop any Combat stance or parry they have and instead guards legs.

medium SPRAINANKLE
This attack sweeps the feet from under the victim causing them to fall and makes it harder for them to run away. (makes them wobble untill mending is applied, but are still able to stand)

heavy BREAKKNEECAP
Swinging the axe swiftly and harshly to the knee, this attack litteraly swipes the kneecap out of the victim's leg, causing them to drop thier guard to legs, fall, and have a broken leg
chest

light STARTLE
With a swift strike to the chest, this attack knocks the victim off equilibrium

medium STUN
A strong strike to the chest will stun even the mightiest of opponants.

heavy DISHEARTEN
This attack makes the victim very sad, infact it kills them and leaves thier heart on the blade of the axe.

gut
light GUT
Like a fish out of water, your victim has seisures as they suffer massive bloodloss.

medium BROKENRIBS
Smashing the ribs of the opponent causes them to suffer damage anytime they smoke a pipe.

heavy CLEAVE
Even the mightiest of oaks will fall when cleaved by an Axe in the hands of an axechucker. This attack chops a person in half leaving the legs standing but the torso fallen on the ground.


SMASHTEMPLE (Jab) head -light wounds
By jabbing the front end of the axe into the oppanants head the Axechucker is able to cause dizziness and a massive headache.

SPLITSKULL (swing) head -Moderate
Bringing the axe down onto a person's head, the axechucker is able to split a person's skull in two causing massive bleeding and a concusion as well as stupidity

SPLITBODY (swing) head -Heavy

Using the enlarged shoulder muscles of the master AxeChucker, the blade of the axe is able to slice not only the head but the enitre body in half, leaving two halfs of your enemy on the ground, making non resurrectable.

yeah silly name I know... I can't think of what the axe specialization would be called. And does that mean they are going to add a skill in knighthood like slashing and bashing?

I'm sorry, the first thing I thought when I read the title of this thread was:

Axechucks, yo.

So these are effects when you are targetting a body part? Like if you are targetting head, chest, etc? I don't know much about knight skills, but these seem fairly good.

"This attack makes the victim very sad, infact it kills them and leaves thier heart on the blade of the axe."

That was one of the least thought out sentences I've ever read.

It made me sad. In fact, reading that made me so sad, it killed me, and left my heart on a... nevermind, this doesn't make sense.

Though, I do like the idea of axe stuff for knights.

Okay, so Daganev's not exactly Terry Pratchett, but he's got his heart in the right pla-...er...nah.

So uhm... if this works like Behead, for example, then based on description you would need Head, body, and gut heavily wounded? By no way am I saying it is overpowered... just by definition you would need the ribcage and so on equally damaged, otherwise you'd cut through the head and then struggle around the collar bone.



I don't understand. A light wounded attack causes someone to unstance and then stance legs? What if your opponent doesn't have any other stance or parry? Useless effect then? You might as well give them a tripping attack since that strips stance.




You can get rid of the drop guard, since prone gets rid of stances. I'd change this into a jab, treat it like a blackout for the legs where they occasionally lose their balance and become sprawled or something.

I think you should compare it to the actual skills of Blademaster and Bonecrusher, and then redo it. I lurve my axes, but.. I dunno.

No, that one's actually good. The force parrying thing is good. And "what if they don't have parry?" Well, what if someone I'm fighting doesn't have levitation or anything and I'm an Aquamancer with needlerain? It's still not a useless skill.

I wrote that at 4am.

Reading over it now that I'm a wake... it makes little sense.. but the puns are funny!

I actually liked the idea of the the leg wounds helping the person you attack as well as allowing you to switch tactics.

For example, if you just hit the leg over and over and over again your going to keep hitting thier parry, and they have a chance to riposte you. But if you hit thier legs, making them guard thier legs, then you can attack the head going for the kill. The idea was not to strip the stance but rather to make them parry thier legs. I basically pictured the person bending over and grabbing thier legg while hopping about like a loon.

I was tempted for Disarm and Dishearten to put in "Its only a flesh wound."

I was going for puns, some unique tactics, and overpowered instant kills that look neat. Not for any attempt at a real skillset.

Nah, the splitbody thing would just require a critically damaged head, just like the other head-instakills. Once the axe makes it through the head, the momentum would just keep it going. After cleaving through the skull, any other bones in the way are just like little twigs!
