Long Blades effect idea
Dueling is a passive effect for long blades that will increase your damage when you land consecutive hits on the same target (making it sort of the antithesis of axe cleaving). Thematically speaking, it represents forcing your opponent into a compromising stance with a series of well-placed attacks. You can stack a maximum of 5 hits on the target (I think this would be an appropriate number and in tiles it could be displayed with tally marks, but a different number could be used), at which point your attacks on that target will have the maximum dueling bonus. Performing any action other than melee attacking the target (this includes moving, casting a spell, using a scroll or potion, attacking a different target, etc) will cause you to lose all hits on that target for the purpose of dueling bonus. Missing the target will not cause you to lose your hits on that target but will not gain you a hit either.
