Skill Rules & Full Description

This skill will dispel one active spell on a character or spell effect struck instead of dealing damage. For example, this spell can cancel the effects of most Bond spells, Charm spells, wall spells, etc. The Dispelling Strike skill can be used on the effect of the spell as in the case of Wall of Force or Lock spells or at the character affected by the spell. When the skill is used against a character directly, the character should make an out-of-game comment indicating which spell is being canceled; if the wielder does not specify one, then the target player must choose one active spell to be removed.

This skill does not work against latent spells. It also does not work against Imprisonment or Magic Sanctuary spells, and it cannot undo the creation of undead by the Necromancy School.

This skill is stopped by any defense that stops physical attacks, Master Parry, Slay Parry, Dodge, etc. The character should call “Dispelling Strike”. If the character misses, the skill is not used.

The character’s Dedicated Weapon is needed to use this skill.
