Guard Break

Description
Like a warrior straight out of a viking saga, your attacks with top-heavy weapons carry so much force that they shatter straight through your enemies' guards. Even if someone manages to deflect your blows, they'll still be in for a world of hurt.

Effects
Guard Break is both a passive Ability and a special Action. Guard Break affects all attacks you make with the mastered weapon. Whenever an opponent successfully defends against your attacks using a weapon with the Parrying property, you automatically deal half damage to them regardless.

You can also choose to spend 4 Stamina to attempt to break the weapon they Parried with, even if you beat their Defense roll. You roll a pure PHY roll against their defense roll. If you succeed, their weapon is permanently snapped in half. It is inadvisable to attempt this against vibroweapons.
