Medieval martial art fans, I attempted to capture some of Fiore dei Liberi’s spirit in this compendium class. It’s still in the works and my first one I feel is not terrible.

I call it “The Flower of Battle”, after one of Fiore’s manuals “Fiore di Battaglia”.  Let me know what you think, what can be added, changed, etc… 

Also, to note, this is not meant to be any sort of explanation of Fiore’s art.

  1. Wow, thanks for the responses! Timothy Walsh I read one of your posts about Fabris and contratempo, well written! Which kingdom do you fence in?

    Also, please feel free to toss out ideas to expand! I need some direction from here.

  2. The structure of compendium classes is such that they “open” with a move you take at levelup and then offer additional choices at any level, not just 2-5. What do you think the opener is going to be?

  3. Probably abrazare, although I haven’t decided yet. The foundation of Fiore’s techniques are first learned by becoming competent in abrazare.

  4. While I agree staff would be great, unfortunately Fiore does not cover staff in much depth. (At least as far as I am aware)

    If anyone has a better reference than “staff and dagger” let me know!

    Spear, on the other hand, is quite substantial. 

  5. Given Fiore’s discussion what you can and can’t do to someone in armor or do while you’re in armor yourself, maybe something built around “When attacking someone wearing heavy armor” or “when you grapple an opponent while you wear heavy armor” or something?
