Requirements

  • Strength 2 (1H), Strength 3 (2H), Melee (Piercing) Rank 3
  • Rank 1-5, 1 CC point per Rank or 3 GXP x Rank

Effects

Rank 1 Reach Attacks with spears extend melee range by 1 yard.
Rank 2 Brace As a Standard Action, brace your spear against an incoming foe. Any foe entering your threatened space between this readied action and your next turn may be preemptively attacked with a standard melee attack. This attack gains bonus dice equal to your rank in the fighting style. Charge attacks while mounted may also gain this bonus damage.
Rank 3 Phalanx When wielding a spear, and not flat-footed you gain +2 Parry. This bonus increases to +3 at Rank 5. One adjacent ally of your choice may benefit from the same parry bonus. In addition, your movement action for the turn may be taken when an adjacent ally moves.
Rank 4 Improved Brace When using Brace you may attack an additional foe entering your threatened space while the stance is active. This secondary attack does not gain the bonus dice of the first attack, and additionally suffers a -4 penalty to the roll. At Rank 5 a third attack is granted with the same -4 penalty.
Rank 5 Wall of Spears Foes within your threatened area suffer a -1 Dodge penalty for each ally (including you) who threatens them. If a foe's dodge is reduced to 0, they are Flatfooted. If a target has applicable Parry, the total Dodge Reduction inflicted by Wall of Spears is reduced by an amount equal to the Parry score that the target has.
