Soldier Beetle Dual Wielder Combat Style

The Soldier Beetle Dual Wielder Combat Style trains in the use of two of the same small weapons. Weapons are limited to those of Size or Reach Small. This effectively limits this Combat Style to club (or stick), dagger (or knife, main gauche and similar weapons), hatchet, mace, and shortsword. Soldier Beetle cities generally train in shortsword, club (stick fighting), or hatchet styles.

Dual Wielder Combat Style has the following Traits:

  • Do or die (Allows dual weapon combinations to use the Flurry special effect, provided that each subsequent attack utilises the alternating weapon)
  • Throw Weapon
  • Parry at size Medium weapon (both weapons are required; i.e., a single shortsword won't allow this if a character for some reason doesn't have both)

Light Airborne

Sentinels

The Wasp Sentinel Combat Style includes the Intimidating Scream Trait - Sentinels are known to bellow out their unit identifier, e.g., "Pride of the Ninth!".
