Shield-Splitter

(Special Maneuver)

Rules: Attack your opponent’s shield directly. The opponent can try to dodge the attack or parry using the shield, but cannot use the shield’s parry bonus for parrying this attack. If the parry or dodge fails, subtract your weapon’s damage from the shield’s structure points. When the shield’s points drop to 0, the shield is destroyed. This special maneuver can be used only against opponents who are using shields. More about structure points appears on page 349.
