Description: A simple sword block. On impact there is a 50% chance of breaking your own blade if the opposing weapons smithing material are 2 stronger and a 10% chance of breaking your opponents weapon if it is 2 weaker. If you stay with blades locked through the post your opponent can hold the block for 10 stamina per post that you hold it. You also cost 10 stamina a post to hold the block. During the blade lock after the initial block if the strength is equal between opponents nothing happens. Whoever has a higher strength can push down on the opponent. 1 post of pushing down doesn't accomplish much, but 2 posts of pushing down leads to the opponent not being able to pull out of the blade lock and is pretty well at the mercy of the stronger opponent.

approved as basic skill for any sword-dagger user.
