A Power Sword is a Power Weapon that has been shaped into a sword 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, making a Power Sword a highly
effective close combat weapon.
Eldar Power Swords are functionally equivalent to those used by the Imperium, but are more elegant in design and
favor a more nimble slashing and shearing combat style rather than brute force penetration.
Melee: Attacks with this trait can be used during close combat without penalty.
Parry: After an enemy makes close combat attacks against this fighter and rolls to hit, until this fighter has no further Parry options available to them this fighter's controlling player can force the attacking player to re-roll one successful hit per Parry.
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.
