Skill Rules & Full Description
Using this skill, a character may automatically strike their opponent with a single blow. To use this skill, the character must strike at the opponent and hit any part of them – a legal body part, weapon or shield. The character prefixes the attack with “Speed”, followed by either weapon damage or a specialty attack such as the Disarm or Slay skills. This skill can only be used with hand to hand weapons and not with ranged attacks.
Since Speed is a master level skill, only a Master Parry or a Slay skill will stop this attack. Even if the Speed skill is used with a Disarm, for example, the targeted character must use a master level skill to stop the attack.
This skill is always used once called.
