Prerequisites: 1 Stun, 1 Slay, Continuous +3 Strength Bonus

Skill List: General

Skill Rules & Full Description

This skill works just like the Stun skill, except the limb is removed. The head is not a limb for this skill. The character should suffix their normal damage called with “Sever Limb”. Anything held in the hand or on the arm should be dropped to the ground next to the target character. This skill has no effect if the character is struck in the torso, a limb must be targeted for this skill to work. Removal of the limb does not influence death system status.

This skill requires the character to have a +3 Strength Bonus to learn and use. This can either be a natural racial bonus or from some other source, such as a magic item. However, the bonus must be a continuous bonus, not one that has a duration or is invoked for a duration. Therefore, a Strength Potion does not count towards this prerequisite.
