Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

A weapon and armor are considered to be an attack and defense equipment. However, some items are created so exceptionally that they convey a kind of defensive aura, which makes it more difficult to be transposed by any melee attack, either by obfuscating the attacker, intimidating him or, maybe emanating a feeling that makes the opponent realize it power and feel unable to act safely in combat.

System: Your weapon or armor has a kind of aura that conveys insecurity to enemies, every time you are targeted by a melee attack, you get a free retest that cannot be "cut" by the attacker. The Arcane Shield must be inserted during the creation of the melee weapon, shield or armor. It affects opponents within a radius of up to 3 meters, being useless against distance attack weapons. To be effective, your opponent needs to be fully aware, that means he can’t be in a frenzy. By producing a kind of aura, the effect works even in total darkness or against opponents who don’t see it. The effect of Arcane Shield is not cumulative, if used on a sword and armor, the effect is only applicable once. The use of this power is only defensive and cannot be used to attack or to cause any kind of damage. To insert the Arcane Shield in the item, the creator must win or draw a social challenge (can be retested with the ability “craft”) and 1 blood trait.
