Information:

__NoTOC__ ==Fighting Style: Sojutsu/Jukendo (Spear/Bayonet Combat)== Your character knows how to use a spear in close combat. Sojutsu (often incorrectly called yarijutsu) is the Japanese form of the style. These skills also apply to using a rifle with a fixed bayonet (called jukendo in Japan). Thus, characters might learn this fighting style in a modern military force or a martial arts school. Martial artists often learn this fighting style alongside Fighting Style: [[Staff Fighting]]<ref>(see [[Armory Sourcebook]], pp. 213–214).</ref> A character using this fighting style must use his weapon with both hands to take advantage of its maneuvers. ===Warding Stance (•)=== The basic advantage of a spear or fixed bayonet is its length. Trained fighters learn to keep the tip of the weapon pointed forward, constantly threatening incoming attackers. Thus, this maneuver lets a practitioner attack first whenever an opponent using a smaller-Size melee weapon attacks from the front. ===Thrust (••)=== The character knows how to deliver precise, powerful thrusting blows. His spear or bayonet gains the 9 again quality. If the spear or fixed bayonet already has this quality, he gains no further benefit. ===Block and Strike (•••)=== Your character can deflect incoming attacks with the haft or stock of his weapon and swiftly strike back. When using this maneuver, your character gains +2 to his Defense for the turn, but any attack he makes suffers a –2 penalty. Unlike similar maneuvers (such as [[Two Weapons]]' Deflect and Thrust maneuver), the character can move freely while using the technique. ===Great Thrust (••••)=== The character lunges forward, putting his entire body behind a powerful thrust. If he employs an All Out Attack <ref>(see the [[World of Darkness Sourcebook|WoD]], p. 157)</ref>, he adds a number of dice equal to his lower of his Strength or Weaponry Skill instead of the standard two dice. '''Drawback:''' If the attack inflicts at least as much lethal damage as the opponent’s Size, the character lodges the weapon deep in his target’s body. Dislodging the weapon requires an additional [[Pool::Strength]] + [[Pool::Weaponry Skill|Weaponry]] roll, but automatically inflicts a point of lethal damage. {{Links|Fighting Styles}}{{characteristics}}
