Fighting Styles
Fighting Styles are abilities that reflect things that a character has learned how to do with a chosen weapon or weapon combination that he normally would be unable to do. They do not directly affect other characters and therefore do not require opposition. In order to gain Fighting Styles, a character needs two points per ability in Attack.
