From publisher blurb: Not every hero kills with a blade. Words have power and the right ones can topple princes and drive the most confident into despair. Do you dare enter the courts of Théah and face the deadly courtiers who duel with words rather than blades? This system adapts the dueling rules from the Core Rulebook to allow battles of wits that might do more damage than any duel of steel. It includes several new dueling styles for courtiers and a few new maneuvers that might be adapted for swordsmen.
