Cudgel |
You are skilled with crushing and bludgeoning weapons. |
Cudgel is the base skill for the Cudgel skill tree. Cudgel is unique in the fact that items that are not conventionally considered weapons that are wielded as a weapon default to a
1d2 damage weapon that uses the Cudgel skill. Because of this, Cudgel is the most common skill tree that weapons use.Cudgels specialize in incapacitating the enemy under a hail of blows, dazing and stunning them before crushing them entirely.
Skills in the Cudgel skill tree
Skill | Cost | Stat | Prerequisites | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Cudgel Proficiency | 0 | 0 Strength | You get +2 to hit with cudgels. | |
Bludgeon | 150 | 17 Strength | Whenever you hit with a cudgel, there's a 50% chance to daze your opponent (-4 int, -4 agi, -10 movespeed) for 3-4 rounds. If you daze a dazed opponent, they're stunned for 1 round instead (cannot take actions and 0 DV). | |
Charging Strike (Cudgel) | 100 | 19 Strength | Bludgeon • Charge | When you charge with a cudgel and hit, you automatically daze your opponent. |
Conk | 150 | 21 Strength | Bludgeon | Activated; cooldown 10. You make an attack with a cudgel at an adjacent opponent. If you hit, you automatically daze your opponent. If your opponent is already stunned, you instead knock them unconscious for 30-40 rounds (unconscious opponents wake up dazed when they take damage). |
Backswing | 100 | 23 Strength | Whenever you make a cudgel attack with your primary hand, there's a 25% chance you make an additional free attack with the same hand. | |
Slam | 150 | 25 Strength | Activated; cooldown 50.
You make an attack with a cudgel at an adjacent opponent at +1 penetration. If you hit, you slam your opponent backwards up to 3 spaces, pushing other creatures and breaking through walls if their AVs are less than 5 times your strength modifier. Opponents who get pushed are stunned for 1 round plus an additional round for each space pushed. Opponents who are pushed through or against walls take extra weapon damage for each wall. Colossal opponents don't get pushed but are still stunned for 1 round. You can also use this power to destroy a wall or door if its AV is less than 5 times your strength modifier. |
|
Demolish | 300 | 29 Strength | Slam | Activated; cooldown 100. For the next 5 rounds, your chance to daze with cudgel attacks is 100% and Slam has no cooldown. To use Demolish, Slam must be off cooldown, and using Demolish puts Slam on cooldown. |
