Fencing

Fencing grants the ability to use fast striking weapons.

All fencing weapons, including two-handed weapons such as spears, can be poisoned using the Poisoning skill
The chance to hit with a fencing weapon is equal to (attacker's fencing skill + 50) / ((defender's weapon or wrestling skill + 50) * 2) plus any relevant accuracy bonuses

PvM: Fencing Weapon Special Attack

Only works against creatures, not other players
Players have a 10% chance of inflicting a Fencing Weapon Special Attack against creatures.
This chance can be further increased via the Arms Lore Skill, Water Aspect Armor, or Mastery Chain Links.
- The melee damage dealt on an attack that triggers a fencing special is increased by 50%
- Cripples the target for 8-16 seconds (increases chance for target to be hit with attacks by 10%)
  - Cripple effect duration scales based on weapon speed (slower fencing weapons have longer effect duration) and creature difficulty

Fencing is trained through combat with a Fencing weapon equipped. See the Weapons Chart for a list of Fencing weapons
Up to 50.0 skill can be trained by an NPC weaponsmith

- Then toggle war/peace on the 2nd account dummy character
  - Note: If training against another player, it is best to be in the same guild or else form a party where both members check "Flag Green to Party" in order to avoid being flagged as a criminal
  - You will need a way to heal the second account character
