Subskills

Each child is a separately trained node on this skill's path. Proficiency nodes accept up to +5%; their effective rating includes every applicable ancestor. Actionable nodes grant activated effects. Passive nodes grant always-on effects with no Stamina cost. Actionable and passive nodes add no independent numeric bonus.

Subskill	Parent required	Node grant	Local cap	Effect
Nick	+5%	actionable	+0%	When attacking with this weapon, make one eligible offhand light-weapon attack as part of the same action without adding acting ticks. Use Nick only once per resolved action.
Slow	+5%	actionable	+0%	After a damaging hit with this weapon, reduce the target’s movement rates by 2 ft/s until the attacker completes another action. Repeated Slow hits do not increase this reduction.
Vex	+5%	actionable	+0%	After a damaging hit with this weapon, add +2d6% to the attacker’s next attack check against the same target before the attacker completes another action.
