Re: [HOE] fightin': florentine

[Grant Vanderhule <vandergm@willinet.net>]

fightin': florentine is a new aptitude described in 'The Last Crusaders', the templar sourcebook. that book also gives
descriptions of several mundane swordfighting maneuvers, which can be very helpful for describing exactly how your posse's
cuisinart is going about hacking up his opponents.

and you think this is a no-no for YOUR posse? the last posse my templar was in had a former soldier in a wolverine who
turned up a "doomed" result on his VotWW roll.. since the bloodwolf didn't finish him off, nick had some terantulas crawl
into the suit and kill him kenny-style. (oh my god, they killed chuck!) so now i've got a disgustingly powerful
newly-created templar (49 points to spend and mutant healing right off the bat? yeesh), and here's this newly vacated
battlesuit with a ripper and an almost fully charged battery sitting right in front of me. yes, i think nick shall find a
way to screw me in the near future.. :)

by the way, i gave myself that nickname. i felt it oddly appropriate to describe a templar player, especially given jo's
thoughts about diablos..
