New Iruvian Sword Arts
One of my groups has secured training from an Iruvian Sword Master. The Hound has made a deal with a demon and become adopted as foreign-born I’Yalim. We decided to develop a fighting style to fit the functions and powers of an I’Yalim. We borrowed a little from the move Tiger’s Fury out of Johnstone Metzger’s excellent Iruvian playbook: Faris.
SWEEPING WIND STYLE
[Adept] Falconer’s Scimitar: You may wield a heavy, broad-bladed scimitar favoured by the I’Yalim to punish the wicked and execute justice. The long handle of the scimitar can be wielded with a wide two-handed grip to create a whirling blade in close, where a sword is expected to be useless. Or it can be wielded with a close two-handed grip to use its sweeping length, allowing you to attempt to plow through the field of battle to any location you can see.
[Master] The Sweeping Wind: Your sword attacks involve acrobatic leaps with powerful sweeping slashes. When you make an attack in this way, choose a beneficial extra effect (this effect occurs regardless of the outcome of your action): The target’s armour is ruined—the target’s weapon is ruined—the target is knocked sprawling—the target is forced into someone where their limbs and lives become entangled.
Yeah swards!
