The Flower of Battle is the ultimate tool for combat oriented campaigns in The Riddle of Steel, or any fantasy/medieval campaign using those mechanics.
Published some time after the core book, this one takes into account all the additional playtesting and feedback from players over the years, as well as the developers own tresearch and testing.
A lot of the core combat mechanics are cleared or cleaned up, better explained and expanded. A lot of new ones also find their way in.
Several new fighting styles and manoeuvres appear. A vastly increased number of weapons are listed, with better descriptions - both physical and historical - and stats for The Riddle of Steel mechanics. With this book, the tools of fighting in anything from stone age, antique greco-roman era, medieval, rennaissance and even oriental middel ages open up for countless opportunities.
