When you unsheathe your blade and attack an opponent with it in one fluid motion, spend a balance and roll+DEX(discipline?-(for ronan class?). On a 7-9, roll damage. On a 10+, your damage also ignores armor. On a 12+, you deal additional 1d6 damage.
Just throwing this here. This is all I have, but if you want to use it, take it with no strings attached.
It’s a bit boring in my honest opinion. Not far off just plain attacking really, except it doesn’t work as a Move should, with the 7-9 having a cost or consequence.
How about…
When you unsheathe your blade and attack an opponent in one fluid motion, roll+DEX.
On a 10+, choose 3.
On a 7-9, choose 2 and spend 1 balance.
– Deal your damage.
– You arrive at an advantageous position of your choosing.
– You stun your opponent.
– You create a gust that knocks back outside interference.
– You take +1 piercing damage ongoing until the duel is ended.
I don’t know what “balance” is for your game, but it looks about right.
