Legend has it that the fabled Amazon archer, Palashia, bragged in her youth that she could best the combined skills of all her greatest rivals at a tournament. To the amazement of onlookers, her single arrow then split into many, cleaving the arrows of her rivals, and moving on to strike every target directly in their centers. When used with a melee weapon becomes Fend: Once an Amazon warrior has attained mastery over the spear, she can engage and destroy multiple enemies in close quarter battle. Many of those enemies will be lucky to be alive after the vicious onslaughts of these attacks have ended. This is a Weapon Damage Based Combat Art.
