Crushing Blow

Swinging your weapon at full strength with no regard to elegance results in a devastating blow to whatever you're attacking, usually disarming or crippling your opponent.

The next attack you make against an opponent that hits results in your choice of either their weapon breaking under your might or having one of their limbs taken off. Against armoured enemies this just shattered all of their bones or otherwise renders that limb useless & beyond functional.

Note: This ability can be used pre-emptively, as it guarantees its application once you actually land a hit on an opponent (it can't 'miss' as it waits for a successful hit).

If you choose to destroy their weapon: that weapon isn't salvagable and they must equip a new weapon.

If you choose to dismember (or otherwise render that limb destroyed): They receive a -5 to all future To-Hit rolls & -10% (rounded up) Defense.
