[color=aa0505]"The last thing we need is any needless injuries. But an old tutor had a motto that took a long while to sink in. There's no such thing as useless knowledge. Anything you would be willing to demonstrate would be informative." "The aim is a little different with a lighter blade, Sir Segremors,"[/color] He added, taking a half step back with his right and pivoting to be able to address the two other knights as well. [color=aa0505]"Like Lady Lilia just remarked upon, a rapier can't always strike decisively against an armored opponent. In that case a disabling strike against a less armored joint might help to pave the way for that finishing blow. Even then your sword is down, and you can't defend as easily." "For a sword like yours a disabling strike is a waste of an opening."[/color] [@Raineh Daze] [@HereComesTheSnow] [@The Otter]
