[MA / Weapons] Hook Sword

[Der Wanderer]

OK, so I was watching Deadliest Warrior*: "Shaolin vs. Maori"

You can watch that episode here.

On minute 8:58 they performed a move I actually have seen in Movies (e.g. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) and thought to be bogus. Yet In the show he locks the swords together with their hooks, swings them at a target, slices target open AND catches the sword again.

To recreate this move as a Technique I have a question. What would happen if the attack gets parried? Can you still control both weapons or would you loose one?

So far what the Attack does:
sw+1 cut damage at Reach 2 - Technique: Minor Benefit, temporary increased Reach (-1)
It gives -1 to enemy parry (due to its surprise) - Technique: Did I miss that or is this option not available for self created techniques? (-1)

If you have any other comments, they are all welcome, but let me mention right away I will not make it a AoA or Committed Attack by default as this can easy be stacked to ones liking.


*Its amazing how they can draw conclusions if they don't use the same test to compare two weapons, beside that, its a fun show... ;)
