So a friend asked this question but has not yet come to the forums.

We do have this Fighting Style since more then 2 years form the Core Rulebook and nobody dared to ask?

So starting as the level 5 Style Technique for Arcane Assailant Fighting Style a Soldier can imbue a weapon with the following fusions: ethereal, flaming, frost, merciful, or shock.

Let me go through the list. Of course it only works if i have attuned my weapon before any combat situation.:


  • Ethereal I found nothing so is this a leftover from Playtest and you mean Ghost Killer?
  • Flaming Making half the damage the weapon deals normally into fire damage and if i deal 7 for example i can pick if it is 4 fire and 3 other or the other way 'round. For a swift action only!
  • Frost Making half the damage the weapon deals normally into cold damage and if i deal 7 for example i can pick if it is 4 fire and 3 other or the other way 'round.
  • Merciful Transforms all my damage into non-lethal for a swift action. Nice!
  • Shock Making half the damage the weapon deals normally into electricity damage and if i deal 7 for example i can pick if it is 4 fire and 3 other or the other way 'round. For only a swift action.


Oh, we've asked. The briefest of searches came up with a post from September 2017 asking this.

So, lets try it again. Everyone hit that FAQ button.


I think most of us expect it's another name for Ghost-Killer, since that's what Etherial weapons did in the old days. But sure, FAQ.

My vote is for ghost killer as well, which includes ethereal creatures in its description, and could be one reason for the typo.
