Items:

Great Sword of Artorias++: +15 Hit and +15 Avoid against other melee weapon users. -20 Speed. This weapon is incredibly long and unbelievably heavy. It requires immense strength to lift, and even more to use it in combat. A normal human unit is practically incapable of using this blade. This sword deals huge damage to the shields and armor of enemies. It is also enhanced with powerful magic, allowing it to penetrate most defenses. Base 600 (1,200) blade/magic type damage. Deals 50% more damage when attacking.

Savage Magic Seal: This novel item may boost the damage of a melee weapon that is melee/magic element only. It will double the total damage of the weapon. However, it will prevent any type of augmenting abilities. It will also prevent any items such as pure stones from working. It will not work with odd weapons that have multiple damage types but are boosted by either weaponized body or proficiency. This seal is placed on a weapon and cannot be removed during a battle.

Cleansing Greatshield: -10 Speed. Grants 250 extra defense when being attacked. The powerful magic of this shield will allow it to grant this defense to all adjacent allies as well. Boosted by magic items and boosts. This shield's field of protection will also prevent damage and stat losses due to dark or abyssal terrain. This shield is nearly unbreakable and defends against magic.

Abyss Walker: -15 speed. Armor worn by the great knight who challenged the Abyss. Grants resistance to dark and magic. This armor resists wear. Grants 450 armor.

Abyss Watcher Armor: Armor with a distinctly pointed helm. It is surprisingly light, designed more for aggression than for defense. However, this armor does defend against magic type attacks, and it grants resistance to both fire and dark type attacks. Grants 150 defense.

Wooden Dragonslayer Greatbow: -10 speed. A massive bow, crafted by Hawkeye Gough. This weapon has -20 speed at 1 range. This weapon completely pierces the defense stat of enemies, but does not ignore armor. Deals double damage to dragons. This bow may only fire once. 1-3 range. After being reforged with a Sunlight Drop, this Greatbow now deals Light damage as well. Base 400 pierce/Light type damage.

Hunter's Mark: A brand placed on the skin. This stark, dangling rune is the mark of a hunter. A character must organic to receive this brand. The brand will permanently boost all blade type by fifty percent. This will stack alongside gems and other boosting items, but it will never trigger autodamage to this character or its allies. This will also add 20% to all bleed activations. This brand may only be given by The Moon Presence.

This attack may miss, just as a normal sword strike would. 

This attack only works on medium or smaller characters.

Note this does not work on every character. Costs 7

(TBA) Real Damage Blows: The effectiveness of this ability is based drastically on this unit's combat skill levels. Before attacking, the player controlling this unit may specify where they wish to strike the opponent. The likelihood of them striking where they choose is what the skill levels will determine. Every normal strike is an opportunity to use this skill. This counts as an activation skill. There are many mild effects that can be triggered by striking particular areas. Here are some of the most common:
Eyes: 1 Turn of Blindness -15 Hit.
Head: Stuns character for one turn, causing them to flinch. Works best with bludgeon-type attacks.
Arm: May remove an enemy's ability to use a weapon or shield for one turn.
Leg: May drop an enemy's movement speed 3 for one turn.
Heart: Causes bleeding status for 2 turns
Lungs: Drops enemy speed stat -10 for 1 turn.
Spine/Neck: 2 turns of paralysis. Hard to land.
Guts: Easiest to land. Drops enemy defense 10% for 2 turns.
Effects take place immediately, even in between your strikes and the enemy's counter attack. Costs: 7 pg

(TBA) Sundering Blows: This unit's sword hits rapidly destroy armor, shields, and the melee weapons of other foes. Costs: 2 pg

(TBA) Fury: If this character consistently attacks the same foe, they will slowly boost their base attack stat.
If this character misses an enemy, they will boost their attack stat by 30.
If the character strikes an enemy and cannot damage them, they will boost their attack stat by 20.
If the character strikes at an enemy and harms but does not kill them, they will boost their attack stat by 10.
However, these boosts disappear when this unit attacks a different enemy. Also, when a unit has started the fury process, they will have -15 skill until they end the fury attack. Fury boosts may be negated by stat clearing moves or by putting a furious character to sleep. A furious character may choose to end the fury phase on their own. Costs 5 pg

(TBA) Cruel Impale. This character may choose to stab a foe and then lift them up from the ground. If  This will cause their melee attack to only strike once. However, if the attack lands, the weapon will stab through any foe who is the same size class or smaller. This will reduce the evasion of the enemy to 0, but it will also reduce the avoid of the character using the ability by 50 and their movement by 4. The enemy may attack this character or other nearby characters, but they will not be able to move out of the space they have been lifted into the air on. On his next turns (or on counters) this character may use any attack type to strike the foe except for the weapon and arm holding the foe aloft. This move may hold an enemy in place for up to 4 turns. However, like a tackle, an extremely strong character will break free quicker, and if this character is struck by other characters it will quickly break the pinned character free. At any turn after stabbing into the foe, this character may choose to cast the away with a mighty swing. This will deal the regular melee weapon damage to the foe (ignoring shields and barriers), and may launch them up to two spaces away. If the tossed foe strikes an opponent, that opponent will take half the damage of the normal melee weapon strike. This damage will be like throw damage, ignoring defense and resistances. Costs: 6 pg
