Crush

I would like to see the shield restriction removed ( you can leave it in if the PC uses it with weapon focus and Rage I guess) since crush without a shield is a death sentence to a warrior due to everything becoming Vorpal damage, unless the NPCs are so out numbered that crush is pointless to begin with.The Barbarian may swing a blunt weapon with crushing force. The Barbarian spends 1 Life Point to append the “Crush” call to his melee attacks. This combat style makes all damage done to the Barbarian “Vorpal” damage. The Barbarian cannot use any Charge, Timed or LP skills, except to activate the Fear skill and the Rage skill. However, this skill may not be used in conjunction with the Rage skill unless the Barbarian is only using a single weapon (including fists) phys-rep and is not carrying a shield. Note, that
before the Barbarian may pick up their shield or other weapon again, they must make the 5 second count to deactivate Rage (See Page 31). To turn Crush off a character must also make a 5 second count. These counts may be made at the same time.
