Fencing

Fencing covers spears and daggers: kryss, dagger, spear, short spear and war fork.

Parablow

Past 98, holding a magical spear, the parablow opens up. Which tier the spear is does not matter; the lowest, +3, is enough, while plain steel is not. The blow works only with the spear and the short spear.

A parablow pins the target for five seconds, but damage breaks the hold — including the spearman's own next swing. It is not a lock but a gap: to run, to heal, or to finish a spell. In exchange the wait is long, once every twenty seconds.

Tactics sets the chance: fifteen percent at 75 Tactics, twenty-five at mastery. For a pure mage it is a quarter lower.

The spear is also on the dismount list, so with enough skill you can throw a rider from the saddle.
