The other who carries a Grand Claymore is one of New York City's Most prominent Wyrm Killers. He is an ancient Fianna who defies age and the boundaries of physical abilites. His name is Phalan O'Toole, a Lupus ahroun. Many of the New York Garou know of him, though many still do not.
System: The Grand Claymore is used two-handed and takes all of the user's strength. The user must have at least 3 strength to lift the Claymore, and 4 to use it effectively. The Claymore is an incredibly large sword, and those who use it have increadible skill. They must have Melee skill of 6 to use this sword, and must be specialized. The difficulty to hit with the Claymore is 6, because it is so large and difficult to dodge. The damage is amazing, as the tremendous weight of the sword comes down on the enemy. It does Str + 7 damage, and it is most definitely aggravated. If 6 or more successes are achieved on the hit roll, the claymore can remove a limb. Calculate damage, and then refer to chart:
Damage | Limb removed |
1-2 | None |
3 | Hand |
4 | Arm (1-5 left, 6-10 right) |
5 | Leg (1-5 left, 6-10 right) |
6 | Shoulder and right arm |
7 | Shoulder and left arm |
8 | Decapitation |
9 | Lower torso |
10 | Sliced diagonally in half |
You must be Fianna of rank three to get this fetish. The best way is to start with 10 dots in fetish (spend almost all your freebies) and wait for rank three status.
