Editing Last Emperor: Merit: Fighting Style: Power Weapon attack

==Fighting Style: Power Weapon attack (1 - 4 dots) ==
===Prerequisites: Strength 3, Weaponry 2.=== 

You are trained in a fighting style which emphasises brute strength over any kind of finesse. 

===Power Attack (1)===
By taking a -2 to your Defense, you get a +1 to your Attack. You can not apply both a Power Attack and an all-out attack (WoD p. 157) in the same turn. 

===Sunder (2)===
You are able to attack your opponent's weapons more effectively. Your attack now has a piercing attack of 1 point (see Piercing Durability Wod P. 138). This only applies to your opponents weapons, including guns, but not other objects or armor. 

Normally attacking a weapon is at a -3 penalty (due to size). Any successes are reduced by the Durability of the weapon (usually 2 or 3), and the remainder applied to the item Structure (Durability + Size, usually 4 or 5 for weapons). 

===Great Blow (3)===
By taking a -4 to your Defense, you get a +2 to your attack. You can not apply both a Great Blow and an all-out attack (WoD p. 157) in the same turn. 

===Great Sunder (4)===
As Sunder, except your piercing rating is 2.
