Also known as: KNIFE-PLAY

Help: Knifeplay Name: Knifeplay Classes: Vagrant/Gypsy/Infiltrator level 1, Outlander level 3, Ninja level 5, Assassin level 10 Position: Passive Syntax: None Description: Knifeplay is a passive fighting skill for quick, close, piercing weapon work. It has no command to type. When you fight with a knife-family weapon, it may improve your normal melee rounds. Qualifying Weapon Types: - Pierce (not lance pierce) - Crush and Twist (like riddick's weapon) - Cohe Pierce (a rare piercing type) How It Works: - The weapon's damage type decides whether Knifeplay applies. - A weapon that looks like a knife but uses another damage type will not trigger Knifeplay. - A weapon using the knife-family types above can qualify, even if its object name is unusual. - Knifeplay may add bonus damage during normal weapon hits. - Knifeplay may also help create extra melee hits in combat. Important Type 15 is the later/second pierce, the lance-style pierce. It is not part of the Knifeplay family. See Also: advanced knifeplay, knife mastery, weapon types
