Misericorde

Misericordes act faster than you think. Stay back or you'll be dead before you can even breathe out.

— Nerigwyn

Fighters trained in this combat style favor speed, precision, and light weapons over brute force and slower, clumsier weapons. When they fight, the misericorde often wields long, thin blades designed to pierce gaps in an opponent’s armor. When they attack, they aim their strikes to weaken and fatigue the enemy, sapping that foe’s ability to fight one splash of blood at a time. When the time comes for the coup de grace, the misericorde delivers a quick, merciful killing strike.
