The Firearms Lethal Strike skill is a special attack skill which allows the character to call a damaging attack which unless properly defended against will cause the defender to fall and be placed at Lethally Wounded status.

To launch this, attack the character must say at minimum “Lethal Strike” plus the weapon damage type, and if needed the hand which the strike is coming from. This attack is only good for the one (1) swing in which it is made.

For example, it would be feasible to hear, “Lethal Strike Magic, Right Hand” from a player using a magical weapon for the attack. The skill is used up whether it is successful or not at that time.

The strike must land on the player and contact their person. If physically blocked by a shield the attack is used up. Also, there are spell shields which will defend against this attack, as well as skills such as Lethal Parry, Shield Block or Dodge skills, though not the Critical Parry skill.

This skill may not be used as a Parry.
