|syntax = RETURNING <ON/OFF>       THROW AXE [direction] AT <target>       AXE <ability> <target>

|description = You are now innately capable of using two handaxes in combat. Some Tenacity attacks  

require both weapons, and cannot be used if another weapon is traveling or if the associated arm is  

off balance. Others only require one weapon, and can be used so long as you are on-balance with the  

axe wielded, even if you have a second axe in the air.

|syntax = AXE AVERT <ON/OFF>

|description = You may watch the skies for incoming projectiles, giving you a chance of knocking  

the weapon from the sky before it strikes you. Having this defence activate comes with a small  

drain to your endurance.

|syntax = AXE OBSTRUCT <ON/OFF>

|description = Should a non-ally attempt to flee your location in terror as a result of being  

feared, you may lash out with a quick blow to the skull that will send them toppling over.

|syntax = AXE REPEL <ON/OFF>

|description = At a minor cost to your willpower, you can spot and immediately punish attempts to  

catch you unaware with deadly abilities. Should an opponent attempt to behead or cleave you, or use  

a similar channeled ability, you will instantly fling a returning axe at them and disrupt the  

attempt. You must not be prone or otherwise disabled for this effect to occur.

|syntax = AXE COUNTER

|syntax = AXE CHOP <target> <bodypart> [<venom>]

|syntax = AXE SWEEP <target>  

|description = Swing your axe in a low arc, knocking your foe to the ground so long as they suffer  

from some affliction to their legs.

|syntax = AXE LACERATE <target>

|description = Gouge your foe's skin deeply, causing haemophilia and bleeding. The amount of  

bleeding is increased for each leg and arm that is broken.

|syntax = AXE BASH <target>

|syntax = AXE DROPSTRIKE <target>

|description = Leap from high above and deliver a terrifying blow to your enemy. If your intended  

victim falls below 33% maximum health as a result of your strike, they will perish as your axe  

cleaves them in two. This threshold increases to 50% if their torso is broken.

|syntax = AXE WHIRLWIND [<venom>]

|description = Swing your axes in a wild arc, hitting everyone present. You may specify a venom to  

use with this attack.  

|syntax = AXE PUNISH <target> <ARMS/LEGS>

|description = With a whirling of your axe, lash out at a victim to punish them. As long as one of  

the targeted limbs is crippled in some manner, this attack will be successful. Should this blow  

connect, you'll worsen the condition, causing lingering issues even after the original affliction  

has passed.  

|syntax = AXE RAVAGE <target>

|syntax = AXE AMBUSH <target> [<venom>]

|description = Should your foe be in an adjacent location, you can leap upon them and deliver a  

surprise blow, inflicting a venom and knocking them off balance.  

|syntax = AXE EXECUTE <target>

|description = Should your foe be lying helpless with a broken head and at least one other broken  

limb, you may remove their head from their body in a single, brutal stroke. The wind-up for this  

strike is somewhat obvious, and as a result any other aware opponent will dodge it entirely.

|syntax = AXE LOB <target> [<venom>]

|syntax = AXE ASSAULT <target> [<venom>] [<bodypart>]

|syntax = AXE CRIPPLE <target> <LEFT/RIGHT> <ARM/LEG> [<venom>]

|syntax = AXE RETRIEVE <target>

|description = Throw one of your axes, attempting to hook and retrieve your intended target from  

your line of sight.  

|syntax = AXE TOSS <target> <HIGH/LOW> [<venom>]

|description = Pull an axe from your reserves and fling it high into the sky, causing it to rain  

down on your victim some time later and deliver a venom. A low toss will hit seconds later, while a  

high toss is delayed past that. There is a degree of uncertainty when it comes to predicting  

exactly when the axe will land. You may only have one axe in the air at a time.

|syntax = AXE CARVE <target>

|syntax = AXE EMBED <target> <limb>       PULL AXE FROM <target/ME>

|description = Spotting an opportune moment to strike, you may embed your axe into any limb that  

has already been broken. The weapon will cause considerable bleeding while it remains in place -  

when you feel the moment is right, you may wrench the weapon from their body, causing heavy trauma.  

You may only have one axe embedded in a foe at a time. Your foe may pull the axe themselves, with a  

similar result.

|syntax = AXE DEVASTATE <target> [<venom>]

|syntax = AXE SLAUGHTER <target> <venom>] <venom>]
