Maim

Default Cost: 2

Description

This skill allows a player to strike the limb of an opponent and render that limb useless. If target is a leg, then the leg becomes useless (and, they may not hop on one foot). If an arm is struck, the victim cannot hold anything in that hand. As with any weapon hit, a victim who is not already without Vitality also loses one Vitality point from the strike. You must state, "Maim" as you strike your opponent. If no successful blow is struck then the skill is not lost to the user. A hit to the torso, while not a maiming hit, counts as a successful blow. A character can heal an affected limb with the skill Tend. NOTE: The Parry skill can block a Maim.
