Mantle Dance

Among Ambria’s fencers, shields are regarded as awkward and barbaric, making the parrying dagger a more fashionable tool for defense. Another school has gone one step further and developed elegant techniques that turn the fencer’s mantle into a dancing shield.
The character may use his or her free hand along with a mantle or similar sheet of cloth in Defense. When used by the character, the sheet becomes a sweeping and hypnotic shield that can confuse or temporarily blind the opponent.
