A Power Knife is a Power Weapon that has been shaped into a dagger of varying lengths and designs
crafted from one of any number of different materials, though usually Adamantium. When its power
cell is activated, often by touching a control located on the hilt, the blade is sheathed in a
lethal corona of disruptive energy. This energy field allows the blade to carve through flesh,
bone and most forms of armour plate alike.
Melee: Attacks with this trait can be used during close combat without penalty.
Backstab: If the attacker is not within the target's vision arc, add 1 to
the attack's Strength.
Power: The weapon is surrounded by a crackling power field. Attacks made by Power weapons cannot be parried except by weapons that have both the Power and Parry traits, energy based shields, or via the Parry Master skill. In addition, if the hit roll for a Power weapon is a 6, that hit automatically wounds.
