Description: Few master the art of killing in one blow like professional executioners. However, combat opponents are rarely so cooperative as executioners' victims. With this skill, a sentinel can use a large bladed weapon, such as an axe, sword, or polearm, to attempt to strike a killing blow against their opponent. To work, the target must be knocked down, paralyzed, or stunned. The attack inflicts damage based on the weapon wielded, and if a powerful enough blow is dealt, even a surviving victim may experience lingering damage. If the victim of this skill is sufficiently focused on the sentinel performing the execution [5+ focus], the sentinel may employ some of that focus [3 focus] to ignore the requirement having the victim incapacitated, relying on their distraction, rather than restraints, to land the necessary blow. Extra damage is done if the target is a criminal.
