Flos Duellatorum [Fighter, Style]
Generally, it's a bad idea to have an empty hand in combat. You gave your off-hand a job.Prerequisites: Proficiency in at least one kind of sword and shieldBenefit: While using this style, your off-hand provides you with the benefits of a buckler (+1 shield bonus to AC, though without the penalty on attacks), the benefit of the Deflect Blow feat and allows the usage of the following techniques:
- e Mantello: You fight with a sword in one hand, and your cape or cloak wrapped loosely around your off-hand. The cloak may be used as a net to entangle an opponent, however because it is only a cloak and not actually a net, the entangled creature automatically succeeds at their escape artist check. The cloak also provides you with a +2 circumstance bonus on disarm and Feint checks.
- e Pugnale and e Guanto: You fight with a sword in one hand and a dagger (e Pugnale) or metal gauntlet (e Guanto). You may make attacks with the dagger or gauntlet as if you have Two-Weapon Fighting, however, when you attack with your off-hand, you lose the shield bonus to your AC until your next action.
- e Scudo: You fight with a sword in one hand and a buckler or shield in your other. You do not take a penalty on attacks as you would normally would while using a buckler, and you may make shield bash attacks with a buckler as if you were using a light shield, and do not lose the shield bonus when shield bashing.
Normal: Your empty off-hand is just flapping around uselessly. You probably look like a twit.Special: This feat counts as Two-Weapon Fighting for prerequisites, but if used this way, the benefits of whatever you use it to qualify for only applies when you use the proper technique from this feat.
