Skill Rules & Full Description
This skill will temporarily remove a target character’s Threshold or Soak for 5 minutes. The character needs to hit the target in the torso, knees to elbows, just like a Slay, with their weapon.
This skill will work on any Character, not just ones with the Monster Type: Demon. It will not affect Thresholds or Soaks from magic spells, alchemy, rituals or skills and only affects Thresholds and Soaks gained from abilities.
This skill is not stopped by any amount of Threshold, Soak, or Damage Resistance. To use this skill the character should call “Break Threshold”. If the character fails to connect with the target, the skill is not used. This skill can be stopped by any defense that stops Martial attacks.
