The Order of the Shadow Sabres could use a bit of upgrading to have stylish
combat play a role in this day and age. In this chaotic time with evil roaming
about the lands and ravaging the countryside, the order has been left in bit
of a predicament. The unholy forces, the zealotry of do-gooders and even the
mystics arts of the magicalmumblers are so very tempting options, hardly
anyone at all is left joining the finer arts and caring about the finer things
in life. Crush this, conquer that, purify those, enslave these.. When have you
last heard a civil discussion about cigars? When have you last enjoyed a
cooked pheasant and have the time to thoroughly clean your teeth afterwards?
Who even plays music these days? ( well, the bards, sure, but they just seem
to scream about some war conclave and nothing else.. )


- Let battle cadence work for any limb which has a shortblade. If the sabre
wields a shortblade & shield, let the shortblade have a chance for cadence.
- Give sabres +10hp or +10sp per hat/feather level. Much like liberators get
hpmax from guildquests, sabres could get little boosts with their repu.
- Remove the shortblade type requirements for sabre fence, let any shortblade
be used for fencing, if need be, certain types can be penalized for defensive
fence moves and have bonuses to the offensives one and vice versa.
