Jab
Level Activation:
1
Skill Prerequisite: None |
EFFECT: Multiple
attacks within the time span of a normal attack, each Jab a bit less
powerful than the last.
|
| Hunting in the
dense rain forests of the Amazon islands is fraught with many
obstacles. Confining overgrowth and fierce indigenous animals
conspire to make combat difficult, if not impossible. Early in
training, Amazon spear-women must learn to overcome these
conditions. By honing their hunting techniques to the point where
they are able to deliver many powerful spear thrusts in rapid
succession, they learn to finish off one opponent before turning
to slay another. The Jab is the most basic of the skills designed
to accomplish this tactic. |
 |
Power
Strike
Level Activation:
6
Skill Prerequisite: Jab
|
EFFECT: Adds
lightning damage and increases normal damage to trusting attacks.
|
| Zerae is the bride
of Hefaetrus, and her dominion is vengeance and storms. If an
Amazon warrior is on a Mission to right a great wrong and has
proven herself worthy, the goddess will empower her with the
ability to add the electrical power of the mighty hurricanes of
the Southern Seas to her stabbing spear attacks. |
|
Poison
Javelin
Level Activation:
6
Skill Prerequisite: None |
EFFECT: Thrown
javelin causes poison damage and leaves a trail of poison clouds.
|
| Amazon healers
have long since ascertained the potent toxicity of their natural
flora. Any Amazon warrior devoted to this study is able to
recognize particularly lethal strains of plant life, even while
traveling in foreign lands. This knowledge allows her to create
weapons from particularly virulent woods. |
 |
Impale
Level Activation:
12
Skill Prerequisite: Jab |
EFFECT: A more
powerful attack with an increased chance the weapon will lose durability.
|
| Although deftness
and superior hand-eye coordination are the hallmarks of the Amazon
warriors they are also well known for the ferocity of their
attacks. An experienced warrior is able to focus her fury and
deliver blows so powerful that they have been known to shatter
their weapons in the process. |
 |
Lightning
Bolt
Level Activation:
12
Skill Prerequisite: Poison Javelin |
EFFECT: Leaves a
trail of lightning and does lightning damage.
|
| If an Amazon
warrior has proven herself worthy, the goddess Zerae can empower
her with the ability to strike down enemies by hurling javelins
charged with power as if she had snatched lightning from the
heavens.
|
 |
Charged
Strike
Level Activation:
18
Skill Prerequisite: Power Strike & Lightning Bolt
|
EFFECT: A lightning
attack that releases charged bolts.
|
| An Amazon devoted
to the path of Zerae will be able to harness the forces of
vengeance and storms. During Rites of Vengeance, Zerae will confer
to the Amazon attacks that unleash wild burst of electrical
energy, striking down nearby enemies. A grizzled veteran of the
Time of Troubles once said: "Spear-women walking the ‘Path
of Zerae’ are best given wide berth, for they can be as violent
and indiscriminate as the storms on the Twin Seas." |
 |
Plague
Javelin
Level Activation:
18
Skill Prerequisite: Lightning Bolt
|
EFFECT: Similar to
the Poison Javelin with an additional cloud of expanding poison at the
point of impact. |
| Practiced and
cunning warriors are able to incorporate poisonous vegetation into
the organs of wildlife, creating highly infectious and deadly
bladders that the Amazons affix to their javelins. These javelins
strike a target and explode into noxious and putrescent clouds.
Entire armies of creatures and of men have been slaughtered by the
ingenious use of these biological agents. The choking cloud
created by a plague javelin will incapacitate even the strongest
foes. |
 |
Fend
Level Activation:
24
Skill Prerequisite: Impale |
EFFECT: Rapidly
strikes several close targets.
|
| Once an Amazon
warrior had attained mastery over the spear, she can engage and
destroy multiple enemies in close quarter battle. Many of those
enemies will be lucky to be alive after the vicious onslaughts of
these attacks have ended. Grand Mistress Celestia was able to
demonstrate this ability to the Initiates of Athulua by striking
down a dozen experienced warriors in the space of an arrow’s
flight. |
 |
Lightning
Strike
Level Activation:
30
Skill Prerequisite: Charged Strike |
EFFECT: Does
lightning damage and releases chain lighting from target
|
| Through focus and
intense devotion to Zerae, an experienced warrior can harness
Zerae’s gift of lightning to great effect. Such a warrior is
able to call upon the Goddess’ might to destroy her enemies,
unleashing a bolt of lightning that arcs from foe to foe.
|
 |
Lightning
Fury
Level Activation:
30
Skill Prerequisite: Plague Javelin
|
EFFECT: Creates a
powerful lightning bolt that releases multiple lightening bolts from
target.
|
| Possibly the most
devastating, and certainly the most spectacular, of all the
techniques learned by an Amazon warrior is Lightning Fury. The
High Priestess of Zerae will teach select Amazons the secret of
focusing the power of the goddess, consecrating a javelin to
become the ultimate weapon of vengeance. The energy contained
within the javelin is so powerful that it’s electrical energy
explodes from it’s stricken target, releasing bolts of
lightening that strike down hapless foes nearby. Swift and
powerful is the justice administered by an eminent Amazon. |
