Klaivaskar

Klaivaskar is the Garou weapon art of Klaive dueling. While many of the maneuvers can be applied to standard weapons, some are designed specifically in context of Garou vs Garou, Klaive vs Klaive duels, relying on the potency of silver to exploit the Garou's natural weakness.

+ Caught Steel

House Rule This manuever only works with a klaive against silver sensitive targets, the threat of the metal itself being integral to the supression of enemy attacks via the fear of being cut.

The fighter locks klaives with her opponent.
Roll Dexterity + Klaive Dueling at a difficulty of
the target's Dexterity + Klaive Dueling. For each success
after the first, the fighter prevents her opponent from taking
one additional action during this turn. The opponent loses
any Rage spent to gain the prevented attacks. The fighter
can take no other actions during the turn he attempted this
maneuver, other than speech.

+ Disarm

The fighter attempts to force her opponent to drop
his klaive by twisting or knocking it from his hand.
The attacker's roll is contested against the target's Strength
(difficulty 6). If the attacker wins, the target's klaive flies
one yard for each of the attacker's net successes. If not, the
target does not lose his weapon. If the attacker botches, she
drops her klaive.

+ Feint

This move is the classic bluff: lead in one

per success to her Dice Pool for her next attack against this
opponent. The feint's bonus dice are lost if not used in the
same or following turn.

+ Head Wound

Note This maneuver only works if the user is wielding a klaive, and the target is sensitive to silver.

Garou wounded by a klaive bleed
profusely because of their "allergy" to silver. Thus, the
fighter slashes the forehead of his opponent, whose vision
becomes obstructed by the flow of blood. The difficulty of
the opponent's strikes increases by 1 on the following turn.
The difficulty increase lasts for a number of turns equal to
the number of Health Levels of damage received.
