[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6438539, member: 20323"] Ok, running with these ideas, here's my rough interpretation of Destreza and Scrimia. How do they look to you? For example, does using Bonetti's Defense as the special technique of Scrimia make sense or might it be replaced with something that more broadly represents Scrimia? [h3]La Destreza[/h3] The Spanish fencing school La Verdadera Destreza is a mathematical approach to fencing based on moving outside the enemy's arc of attack and seeking opportunities to deliver en passant attacks. A Diestro(a) trains inside an imaginary circle with in a variety of weapons. Dutch rapier fencing schools in the style of Thibault's Academie de l'Espée follow similar principles as La Destreza. [b]Special Technique - Circling: [/b]When you hit with an opportunity attack or a readied attack, you may move up to your speed to anywhere within reach of the creature you just hit. [b]Suggested Feat: [/b]Mobile [b]Suggested Fighting Style:[/b] Duelist or Two-Weapon Fighting [b]Suggested Battlemaster Manuevers: [/b]Evasive Footwork, Riposte, Sweeping Attack [h3]Scrimia[/h3] "Scrimia" includes the Italian school of Scrimia, the French school of Escrime, and the German school of Schermize which bear great resemblance to one another, all focusing on linear economy of motion, timing, and tempo. Additionally, the followers of Scrimia make great defensive use of their off hand in which they might hold a buckler shield, another blade, gauntlet, cloak, or scabbard. [b]Special Technique - Bonetti's Defense: [/b]Whenever you take the Dodge action or successfully use a reaction to turn an attack against you into a miss, as a bonus action you may Disengage. [b]Suggested Feat:[/b] Defensive Duelist [b]Suggested Fighting Style: [/b]Defense (re-skinned so the +1 AC bonus applies when wielding anything in the off-hand) [b]Suggested Battlemaster Manuevers: [/b]Feinting Attack, Lunging Attack, Parry [/QUOTE]
