Sikàri

Description: Specialties: Humiliating surfacers, various types of marine environment or creature.
 * This is the ancient art, first developed by the Naian ancestors to not only defend against, but to confront and slay the most lethal ocean predators.
 * More than just a fighting style, Sikàri combines intense powers of observation and a lifetime of experience, to 'predict' what the creature is going to do next.
 * Sikàri replaces Dodge, Brawling and Melee when engaged in combat with ocean predators, and also receives substantial bonuses to inflicting damages against large creatures that would otherwise be nearly impervious to one's bare hands or milk knife.
 * Sikàri is often used at the completion of a hunt, as it is considered not only the most honorable way to slay a worthy quarry, but brings with it great renown as well.
 * The greatest Naian hunters take immense pride in counting the eaters that they have slain in this fashion, often with only milk knife to aid them.
 * A common cause of death among the greatest Naian hunters is to attempt the nearly impossible - that which is only ever accomplished once in a century: This is to earn immortality by slaying a big eater in personal combat.
 * While seeming an impossible task for a lone Naian hunter to defeat a gigantic eater, there is enough lore passed down of hidden chinks and blind spots to ensure the most courageous or foolhardy will continue to try.
 * Sikàri is not meant to be used out of water or against any sentient being, yet can be used with a -2D penalty against non-Oceanborn who are not specialized in aquatic combat drill, so long as they are in the water.
 * Killing a surfacer through the use of Sikari is thought to be a particularly humiliating way to die, and is thus favored by those who take grim satisfaction in the butchery.
 * Sikàri is an Advanced skill. It can not be used without training.
