OUTLANDER
Class - [OLN]
Venom Gash - Level 25Venom Gash is the outlander's dirty cut. You drive a
slashing or piercing blade in low, then rip it high and let
whatever is on the steel spill into the wound.
A successful Venom Gash tears your target open with a
brutal opening hit. If they survive, a toxic curse takes
hold, poisoning them over time as the venom works its way
through their system and keeps the pain climbing.
On stronger executions, extra follow up strikes can ride the
same line, deepening the damage before the poison settles.
Enemies already marked by Venom Gash cannot be opened
again until the current toxin has burned through.
The venom does not stay politely in one body. A heavy cut can
throw a choking cloud across the room, splashing nearby foes
as the reek rolls off the wound and into anyone standing too
close to the outlander's work.
Outlanders carrying a concealed firearm may finish the moment
uglier. After a solid gash, the blade does its job while a
hidden pistol ghosts into hand for a point blank gutshot,
then vanishes back into concealment once the damage is done.
