Templar's Curse
To bear the Templar's Curse guarantees its wielders will end up in Hell when they fade from the mortal coil. The Templars have borne the curse through the generations, passing it down to their sons.
Those who activate the curse are the only ones who see the world turn to Hell. To all others, it would seem only that their opponent is faster, stronger, and more capable…
In the Templar's Curse, even horses gain the ability to ride faster and jump further.
Activating the Templar's Curse puts the power of Hell at the one's disposal. Increasing speed and power, as well as granting new abilities beyond mortal men, it is a power to be reckoned with. But at the cost of one's life, and with Death lurking in the shadows… One must use it wisely.
The Templar's Curse gauge is divided into three tiers. While the first will slowly refill automatically, the second and third will fill only when the curse begins to feel the lust of the battle. Should the gauge fill entirely, the curse will automatically activate.
While in the curse, the souls of the damned and lost become visible. Purifying them and sending them to their final rest may yield benefits to those would seek redemption for their deeds.
The cursed souls who fall in battle are instantly driven into the vision of Hell… where Death begins to stalk toward his claim. At this point, one must buy time with one's limited powers before one's partner comes to help, or Death will taste his victory.
The game will offer a Customization feature, which enables the player to equip any weapon and armor, that the character happens to come across on the battlefield, on the fly. The character's appearance, strength, and endurance will change accordingly to the pieces of equipment in use.
Weapons
Swords
The sword is one of the most versatile and plentiful objects on the battlefield, as it can be wielded with a shield or with one in each hand. While they excel at taking lives, they are not very adept at penetrating armor.
Spears
The spear is a two-handed weapon that with its extended range and power, kills with great efficiency. However, against armored foes, it becomes considerably less menacing.
Axes
The axe is a well-balanced weapon that does equal parts damage to armored and unarmored foes. They can be wield with one in each hand to bring double the damage.
Great Swords
These massive blades are slow and heavy, but the damage they inflict is second only the the spear. As they are double edged weapons, they are somewhat less effective against armored foes.
Maces
The mace is a weapon that can be swung easily and finds its true purpose in annihilating the armor from one's foes. Once that is achieved, however, it is best to switch to a weapon more suitable for delivering the killing blow.
