Flay

Type: Attack Skill

Range: Target Character

Cost: None

Lag: 1 round

Duration: instantaneous

Syntax: flay <target>

Practice at using whips for disciplinary action as well as entertainment has taught skilled void templars to flay skin and muscle away from bone, both dealing damage and applying a penalty to the target's Strength score of either 1 or 2.

The strength penalty incurred by multiple uses of this skill are cumulative. Wielding or dual wielding a whip is required to use flay, but it should be noted that doing so in place of a sword or shield leaves a void templar quite vulnerable.

Primary Attribute: Dexterity
