✪ Whirling Smash

✦✦✧ Strength  Take -1 guard or awareness and make a mace attack with a -2 penalty. If this attack doesn’t provoke a counter, your momentum enables you to follow through and make a second free mace attack, also with a -2 penalty. The second attack can target the same foe or another foe nearby.

✪ Jumping Smash

✦✦✧ Strength  When you jump attack with your mace, the weight of the weapon creates a shockwave as it smashes the ground. Hit, block, or miss, make a free Shove brace targeting the foe you’re attacking and anyone adjacent to them. 

✪ Smashing Constitution

✦✦✦✧ Strength  Gain +2 maximum Life.
