A shop that I think would benefit Imythess and all the barbarians/knights/fighters, have a read of it and you'll see what it is for. Before you read though, yes I understand that this idea has been used in other RP sites such as Arda, Avalon and countless others... but I think it's about time we had our own fighter shop to benefit our characters.
Fighter Shop
Fighter abilities are far more powerful than a skill and feat, and are used by those who have little to no magic power of their own. You may only buy these abilities if you have no more than 5 spells in your possession. If you ever buy more than five spells, then you immediatley lose all your abilities.
Some abilities will require you to have a certain level in a certain skill, or a certain feat, before you can use them.
Sunder and Disjoin
You must first own the CLEAVE feat and a masterwork weapon (or one of higher quality).
The sheer force of your blows can break apart weapons and batter down shields as if they were cotton. This can only be used against another player once a month. The following weapons/materials can not be broken:
Angel/Demon Blade
Mithril
Adamantium
Godly Blessed Weapons
Starting equipment can break quite easily as it is shoddily made, but masterwork equipment will require some force to destroy and can even dent your own weapon in the process!
Cost: 200
Two Weapon Wielding
You must own the AMBERDEXTERITY feat
You are able to fight with two weapons at a time, one in each hand.
Cost: 200
Shield Bash
Your shield is now also your weapon, and can be used to slam against an enemy to suprise and stun them.
Cost: 100
Disarm
You can now disarm your opponents with quick attacks. A disarmed opponent loses their weapon for at least 3 posts before they can re-wield it again.
Cost: 100
Nerve Point
You can attack the body's nerve points and cause severe damage with your hands. Some nerve points paralyse a limb whilst others cause severe discomfort.
Cost: 200
Twelve Strike Paralysis
You must first own the NERVE POINT ability
A special attack using nerve points, the attacker strikes the twelve major nerve points around the body and paralyses the victim for such a time until the nerve points are jabbed again. This attack can only be used once a month against a character.
Cost: 300
Pain Tolerance
Years of pain have taught you to grit your teeth and bear it. You can withstand large amounts of pain that would leave an ordinary person gasping for breath or lying in a heap.
Cost: 100
The Stare
You can intimidate anyone with that look, causing them to feel intimidated by you and to fumble around nervously.
Cost: 50
Warcry
From the depths of your lungs, you can bellow out a loud cry of anger when attacking. Your warcry has a small chance of making weaker enemies flee and causing stronger enemies to stop in their tracks with fear.
Cost: 100
Strong Mind
Your mind is resistant to mind control spells such as Hypnotism etc. Though you may not be able to resist them fully, you can make things difficult for the caster and sometimes throw off the spell with such great effort.
Cost: 150
Dodge
