[edit] Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
- When Diplomacy Fails...
- Not all conflicts are resolved with politics and manipulation. Survival is a tricky business, and the average denizen of the World of Darkness had better know a thing or two about fighting. Once the Black Spiral Dancers smash your door into toothpicks or the Spectres boil howling out of the Tempest, there's no more time for words.
- It's Time to Beat Some Heads In!
- Designed for use with all five World of Darkness Games, including Vampire: The Dark Ages, this book is an invaluable reference for players and Storytellers ready to get into a no-holds-barred battle.
