This included the somewhat out of place jingasa hat that looked like she was wearing an overturned wok upon her head.She had drawn out the two blades she carried, both falchions. Hers was made of adamantine and finely crafted. She had handed the second, also finely crafted but made of mundane steel, to Charity.Since they were ready, Melisande said, “These falchion are well made. Unlike a longsword, they are meant to be used two handed though. You need not worry about hurting me, so do your best. I shall be able to heal any wounds we suffer in sparring.”“Let’s begin.”The champion of Helerion was much more experienced and her weapon of choice was the falchion too. Melisande fought defensively, using the two-handed blade to counter Charity’s swings more often than simply trying to dodge them. It also became quite clear that Melisande’s bladework was much faster, able to take advantage of more openings with lightning quickness.But since it was instructional, the experienced paladin never carried through on any of those openings and just delivered a touch of the flatter side of the blade. Even so, Charity was able to get a few cuts on Melisande, drawing blood. Not many compared to the bruises she received, but a couple t show that she was learning.After a short while, they finished and Melisande put her hands on Charity to call upon Helerion to heal the minor injuries. Then she did the same for herself.“Let me demonstrate a few of those strokes…” Melisande proceeded to show some of the slashing patterns she used during the sparring and had Charity repeat them. The instruction went on for a number of minutes.“There, perhaps you have found our time to be useful in using a blade two-handed. As you can see you need to be stronger and faster with the blade, but practice and experience will ensure that happens.”[sblock=OOC Note]I just extrapolated outcomes based upon general mechanics since there is no need to roll any dice.  Because, even fighting defensively and going for non-lethal damage only, Melisande has attacks of +15/+10/+5 vs. a best case AC of 18. Meanwhile Charity only has +7 Attack vs. Melisande’s current of AC20.[/sblock][sblock=Mini Stats]<a href="http://livingpf.wikia.com/wiki/Melisande_%28Perrinmiller%29" target="_blank">Melisande</a>Initiative: +1 Perception: +15 (Darkvision)AC: 28 (27 flat-footed, 13 Touch) - Currently 18 with ChainshirtHP: 158 (DR3/-) Current: 158 CMB: +20 CMD: 33(32ff) (+2 vs Sunder/Disarm) Fort: +18 Reflex: +11 Will: +14Special: Immune to Fear, Disease, CharmCurrent Conditions in Effect:  Power Attack (-4Att/+8(12)dmg), Jingasa Luck (1xday, Immediate neg Critical/Sneak Attack), Aura of Good/Courage/Resolve Current Weapon in Hand: NoneLay on Hands (6d6): 12/12 RemainingSmite Evil (5x/day, +4 Att, +17 dmg, +4 Deflect AC): 5/5 RemainingAlter Self: 1/1 RemainingDivine Bond (+3): 3/3 RemainingSpells Remaining:1st Level 4/4+2 Pearls (Protection from Evil, Hero's Defiance, Bless, Divine Favor)2nd Level 3/3+1 Pearl (Effortless Armor, Blade Tutor's Spirit, Righteous Vigor)3rd Level 2/2 (Greater Magic Weapon, Greater Magic Weapon)4th Level 1/1 (Resounding Blows)[/sblock]</blockquote>
