{{Anchor|Knifecrafting}}
{{AB
|skillname = Knifecrafting
|syntax = STRIP <corpse>        CLEANUP <bone>        CARVE SITARA FROM <bone>
|description = The sitara is the primary tool of the powerful Predators and the most iconic weapon
of their kit. Sitaras may be carved from the bones of almost any animal, although it is a long
process that requires precision, time, and focus. You will also need a dagger on hand in order to
do so.
Once carved, the sitara is a unique weapon to keep in mind. Due to its smooth bone surface, only a
single venom will adhere to it at any time and another one cannot be applied to it mid-attack.
It is also rumoured that magnificent sitaras with unique properties of ice and fire have been
carved in past times, and even more obscure rumours mention the existence of sitaras that cause
damage against which there is no protection.
Such rumours appear to hold no basis in reality, despite countless attempts to prove otherwise, and
are often discredited as pure myth.
}}
{{Anchor|Stances}}
{{AB
|skillname = Stances
|syntax = CHANGESTANCE <stance>
|description = Your stance is an important aspect of Knifeplay, helping you strike and flow between
each blow without hesitation. These stances will also provide you with a substantial benefit to
your attacks as per the list below.
Stances:
None      - No benefit.
Gyanis    - A stance which improves the trauma dealt by Knifeplay.
Vae-Sant  - A nimble stance that speeds up all balance recovery.
Rizet    - A powerful stance designed to increase sitara damage.
Ein-Fasit - A stance designed to bolster blunt and cutting resistance.
Laesan    - An agile stance enabling an extra strike when it is last.
Upon completion of an attack, a sitara wielder will flow from one stance to the next, dependent on
their previous stance and the attack used. Not all attacks will be as efficient when used from
certain stances.
}}
{{Anchor|Ambidexterity}}
{{AB
|skillname = Ambidexterity
|syntax =
|description = This ability is passive.
Should the hand holding your sitara become crippled, you will be able to switch it to a free hand
in order to continue attacking providing you wield nothing else.
Additionally if you are not wielding a shield, your sitara attacks (except Crescentcut) will do
additional damage.
}}
{{Anchor|Series}}
{{AB
|skillname = Series
|syntax =
|description = Syntax: SERIES <[ab] [param]> <...> <[ab] [param]> <target> [venom]
This ability allows you execute multiple Knifeplay attacks at once, within the same command. The
attacks will be executed in the specified order against the chosen target, who can be a player or a
denizen.
If the attack can be targetted against a particular limb, it needs to be specified immediately
after the attack name. The Pheromones skill is used in a series with the word 'pheromones' instead
of its actual syntax.
Optionally, the command can include a venom at the very end, which will be used for the first
action within the combo that can deliver a venom. If no action can deliver a venom, then the venom
will be ignored.
Examples: SERIES LATERAL VERTICAL LATERAL target
          SERIES BLEED VERTICAL PHEROMONES target
          SERIES LATERAL VERTICAL LATERAL target ACONITE
          SERIES FEINT LEFT LEG CRESCENTCUT LOWHOOK RIGHT BLEED target
          SERIES FLASHKICK FLASHKICK FLASHKICK target
}}
{{Anchor|Twin}}
{{AB
|skillname = Twin
|syntax =
|description = This ability is passive.
Through careful training, you now have gained the ability to brace yourself and deliver two
Knifeplay attacks in a single balance. When combining attacks, the balance recovery will be equal
to the slowest attack that is used after modifiers, by adding them up and applying them after each
move.
You can also make use of the following attacks from Predation:
Pheromones, Mindnumb, and Pindown.
}}
{{Anchor|Notching}}
{{AB
|skillname = Notching
|syntax = NOTCH SITARA
|description = Carve a notch into the blade of your sitara to acknowledge your skill with the knife.
The first notch on your knife can always be carved. Once carved, you can SHOWOFF the knife to
others and they will be able to see it.
Apex bonus:
You can continue to carve notches up to your current apex streak, allowing you to keep a permanent
reminder of your skill and intimidate others.
}}
{{Anchor|Pommelwhip}}
{{AB
|skillname = Pommelwhip
|syntax = SITARA POMMELWHIP <target>
|description = While hiding in the shadows, you can leap out and strike with the pommel of your
sitara at your target, causing a moderate blackout. This will then remove you from hiding.
This weapon attack will bypass the aura of rebounding.
}}
{{Anchor|Fleshbane}}
{{AB
|skillname = Fleshbane
|syntax = FLESHBANE <target> [venom]
|description = This ability will use your spit to infect the target's flesh, causing wounds from
your sitara to heal poorly.
As such, each time you deal an instance of cutting damage to your opponent with your sitara and rip
open their skin, the wounds will periodically fester and reduce the potency of a restoration
poultice applied to a limb.
Additionally, any health gain or recovery by non-natural means will be reduced for the duration of
this effect.
You may use this ability while off equilibrium and can also deliver a venom with it.
This weapon attack will bypass the aura of rebounding.
}}
{{Anchor|Triplet}}
{{AB
|skillname = Triplet
|syntax =
|description = This ability is passive.
Your abilities with the sitara have increased such that you are now able to perform three Knifeplay
attacks in a single balance.
Please see AB KNIFEPLAY TWIN for more detailed information.
}}
{{Anchor|Spacing}}
{{AB
|skillname = Spacing
|syntax = SPACING [OFF]
|description = This ability will cause you to constantly attempt to keep your distance from a foe,
allowing you be more resistant to blunt and cutting damage, and granting a small bonus to your
chance to dodge.
}}
{{Anchor|Teardown}}
{{AB
|skillname = Teardown
|syntax =
|description = This ability is passive.
Little chance does a fallen opponent have against deflecting a small, nimble weapon like your
sitara. While they remain on the ground with a broken leg, you will be able to bypass any attempt
at parrying your knife.
}}
{{Anchor|Trueparry}}
{{AB
|skillname = Trueparry
|syntax = TRUEPARRY [OFF]
|description = With a careful eye and a wary pose, this ability will allow you to parry all of your
limbs at once. Be warned however, that this defensive stance requires your full concentration.
Should you act or become unconscious, you will cease to parry all your limbs.
This powerful defensive stance comes with a hefty drain to your endurance, and will be difficult to
maintain for long stretches of time.
Apex bonus:
For each kill you have achieved, it will reduce the endurance upkeep cost of the skill by 5.
}}
{{Anchor|Bloodscourge}}
{{AB
|skillname = Bloodscourge
|syntax = BLOODSCOURGE <target> [venom]
|description = Years of constant exposure to deadly venoms have tainted your blood to the point
that it is toxic to other people. With this ability, you will coat your sitara with your own blood
before plunging it into your target.
Your target will then suffer from the recurring effects of your toxic blood, afflicting them
periodically with random venoms, before the natural antidotes in their own bloodstream are enough
to purge their body.
Having a high skillrank in Antidotes will grant a higher chance of finally purifying the blood of
this effect.
You may use this ability while off equilibrium and can also deliver a venom with it.
This weapon attack will bypass the aura of rebounding.
}}
{{Anchor|Triad}}
{{AB
|skillname = Triad
|syntax = PERFORM TRIAD
|description = This ability will allow you to perform two random sitara attacks upon three random
enemies within your location. If any of them are protected by the aura of rebounding or a magical
shield, then you will attempt to destroy those defences first.
Triad can select from the following Knifeplay attacks:
Lateral, Vertical, Jab, Lowhook, Crescentcut, Spinslash, Gouge, Flashkick, and Trip.
}}
{{Anchor|Bladesurge}}
{{AB
|skillname = Bladesurge
|syntax = BLADESURGE

them, you can dive upon them with your sitara, dragging them down to the ground. Once upon the
ground, they will be thrown to the floor and stunned while you stab them multiple times. This will

|syntax = ABSORPTION [OFF]        TIDALSLASH <target>
|description = This ability will allow you to absorb the harmful energies of magic-typed or arcane-
sourced damage directed at you and store them in your sitara. Once your sitara has absorbed enough
energy and begins to glow, you may attack your enemy with the deadly tidalslash, dealing a large
amount of cutting damage and a small amount of unblockable damage. Death by this ability will not
leave a corpse behind.

For each kill you have racked up, the damage will be split more in favour of unblockable damage
over cutting damage. It cannot be divided any further than 90% unblockable, 10% cutting.
