In many ways the blade is both a relic of ancient days

Abilities

Strength and Constitution are the blade's most important abilities. Strength is an important factor in all melee combat, providing bonuses to both her attack and damage rolls. Furthermore, being up-close to combat and often sustaining large amounts of injury, the blade is in need of a high Constitution score to increase her hit points. Blades who use light armor and focus on speed and agility instead of heavy protection, are in need of a high Dexterity score as well. Dexterity also provides her with hand-to-eye coordination for ranged combat, as well as a better initiative.

Action Boost

This ability, gained at 9th level, allows a solider to spend 2 action points on a single action in a round. A soldier can spend 1 action point, see the result of the roll, and then decide to spend a second point, as long as he does so before the Gamemaster reveals the result of the action.

Adrenaline Rush

At 11th level, a soldier can temporarily increase one of his physical ability scores (Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution). The soldier spends 1 action point and gets to increase the selected ability score by 4 points. The increase lasts for a number of rounds equal to his or her class level. At the end of the duration, the soldier is fatigued for 1d4+1 rounds.

Improved Adrenaline Rush

At 17th level, a soldier can temporarily increase two physical ability scores.
