This page is a '''Lore Sheet''' for the '''Unfolding Lotus Spear''', a set of seven '''Wushu Secrets''' that use the traditional longspear, a weapon with a flexible bamboo pole tipped with sharp steel! This is a great style for those who want to maximise the number of dice they roll, and synergises well with strong Wind and Thunder Trigrams. It is also a superb duelling style, as you can turn even a series of non-damaging attacks into a useful effect thanks to the ''Pressuring the Defence'' technique.
