Duelists are so named for an unfortunately common practice of young aristocrats, for whom the heat of insult can sometimes incite a rash demonstration of their natural right. Experienced fencers, who often look the part of nobility if not always actually of noble birth, carry with them a small crossbow that is easily concealed under a coat or cape. Slow to load and often thought dishonorable to use, it is in fact very useful, and those of their ranks who live long enough to be veterans typically do so by making such concessions to utility and survival. Special Notes: their skill at skirmishing allows these fencers to dart right past an opponent, ignoring zones of control." get_hit_sound=groan.wav [death] [frame] begin=0 end=100 image="human-duelist-die1.png" [/frame] [frame] begin=100 end=200 image="human-duelist-die2.png" [/frame] [frame] begin=200 end=300 image="human-duelist-die3.png" [/frame] [frame] begin=300 end=400 image="human-duelist-die4.png" [/frame] [frame] begin=400 end=500 image="human-duelist-die5.png" [/frame] [frame] begin=500 end=600 image="human-duelist-die6.png" [/frame] [frame] begin=600 end=700 image="human-duelist-die7.png" [/frame] [frame] begin=700 end=800 image="human-duelist-die8.png" [/frame] [/death] [attack] name=rapier type=blade range=short damage=5 number=5 [frame] begin=-100 end=100 image="human-duelist-attack.png" [/frame] [sound] time=-250 sound=sword-swish.wav [/sound] [/attack] [attack] name=crossbow type=pierce range=long damage=15 number=1 [sound] time=-50 sound=firearrow.wav [/sound] [frame] begin=-200 end=50 image="human-duelist-ranged.png" [/frame] [missile_frame] begin=-50 end=0 image="projectiles/bullet.png" image_diagonal="projectiles/bullet.png" [/missile_frame] [/attack] [/unit]
