[Cut] [Gift]

[fortitude, commitment, sever]
[break][break]
Death by a thousand cuts, it's what she remembered seeing in a movie once, and ever since then, she had collected swords, knives, any type of blades she could get her hand on. As she was walking through the streets, she saw a new set of knives in the window of the nearby weapons store. She came down this street on occasion, just for passing glances she remembered picking up a dagger, it was single-edged, sharp, and about the blade was about 6 inches, and so sharp to the touch that just a gentle tap of the blade caused a cut on her finger. She figured it would be perfect for Lingchi. Are practices she had learned about long ago, a form of torture and slow cutting. Something she always thought was cool and a neat contrast from other sword styles she admired like Iaijutsu. Guess she had a fetish for that kind of stuff, for blades, for swords, how they were used in action movies and the like, but most of all she liked how they cut. So she bought the dagger on a whim, for no reason more than the fact that it was sharp, and had a cool handle.

STAT BONUS

+2 PWR, +2 SPD, +1 WIL[break][break]

PASSIVE: quickdraw

You add 40% of your [SPD] to your damage with attacks and abilities. The first attack you make against an enemy has a chance to critically strike. Roll a 1d10, if you roll a 1 the damage is doubled. If you roll a 10 the damage is tripled![break][break]

PASSIVE: Falling Petals

All creatures in some way bleed, be it essence, be it blood, be it ichor, none are impervious to harm and all have weaknesses that can be learned and ruthlessly exploited. Through your blade and the techniques you have created and mastered you know how to instinctively analyse and learn of an opponent's weaknesses as you carve away at them.[break][break]

-Whenever you strike an opponent you apply a [Death Petal] mark to them up to a maximum of 6. At any point you may choose to consume these marks when you hit an opponent to cause your attack to ignore 15% of their DEF per mark that they have applied to them. Should this be done with 6 Marks then their VIT is debuffed by 20% for two rounds.[break][break]

-When fighting against a single target each blow becomes more and more powerful as you hone in on their weaknesses and cut through their vital points. Each consecutive attack against the same target increases the damage by 5% up to a max of 30%. Should you swap targets or your target is slain then this bonuses falls off and must be regained against a different target.[break][break]

6 Marks: True death comes in a glint of steel from which no one can survive. For this strike consume all marks to pierce through 100% of the opponent's DEF, reduce all defensive items and abilities by 1 rank and deal damage equal to your PWR+SPD.
