These are the moves allowed in the Duel of Swords and their abbreviations.
Code: Select all
Offensive: (1 point)
Thrust = TH - A quick stabbing attack
Low Cut = LC - An attack towards the lower body.
High Cut = HC - An attack towards the upper body.
Slash = SL - A diagonal slice designed to destroy most defensive moves.
Stop Hit = SH - Uses an opponent's momentum against them to deliver a counter attack.
Defensive: (1/2 point)
Circular Parry = CP - A deflective maneuver that protects the lower half of the body.
Lateral Parry = LP - Intercepts an attack to the upper area of the body.
Sidestep = SS - A dodge to one side.
Duck = DK - A drop into a crouch.
Disengage = DI - A backward movement meant to distance oneself from an opponent.
The last 5 are considered defensive and are meant to be protective or to gain an advantage so they score half a point unless modified by using a fancy.
How you play the attack is up to the player. Like, a High Cut being a "raised horizontal swing" might be Role played differently from player to player, and according to the weapon a character may use.
