Class Abilities
Mad Enhancement: EXListon sees the battlefield as an operating theatre. He sees combat as a challenge to his surgical ability. He sees enemies as diseased flesh abominations that only he can challenge. He will do things as quickly and efficiently as possible. His behavior is that of an exceptionally chivalrous and noble man, albeit one with exceptionally faulty judgement. His sense of justice is impeccable, so his ability to reason is especially weak and he is wholly incapable of complex strategy.
Personal Skills
Surgical Procedure: CMad Enhancement has lowered this from its original rank (A). It only affects his judgement, and not his precision and speed with a scalpel.
Human Anatomy Understanding (False): B+A form of 'supernatural diagnosis’. The ability to detect biological weaknesses in individuals through a sort of second sight. Works even in the heat of battle, though successfully exploiting those weaknesses is a separate issue. To Liston, weak spots emit a gentle inviting glow, ripe for extraction!
Anesthesia: CAllows for the willed nullification of pain. The effect can be shared with other individuals or used as an attack in the form of mental interference that slows reaction time. As one of the first proponents of anaesthesia in Europe, Liston would have an A rank in this skill normally, but it has been lowered because of his Berserker class container.
Liston Style: Instant Immaculate IncisionA style and technique of high-speed surgery. Given that just two limbs are not enough for Liston’s personal style, he wields a third knife in his mouth. The technique involves two simultaneous series of strikes, each with the three blades, thus culminating in six strikes to remove offending matter. The six slashes meet at an extremely close range directly in front of Liston, cleanly dissecting whatever is in their path without a single opportunity to escape.
Noble Phantasm
Rank: D
Type: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm
Range: 5 m
Maximum Targets: Single Target
A series of archaic surgeon’s tools with glowing white edges. There are three, an Amputating Knife, a Bonesaw, and a Scalpel. The instruments can cut through flesh and bone with supernatural ease, but they fail somewhat when trying to cut directly through synthetic material, such as armor. These blades were gifted unto him within the Throne of Heroes by a certain notable English Writer and a certain famous English Nurse. While loath to accept gifts from Englishmen, he could not pass up this offer since he himself doesn’t have a proper Noble Phantasm under the Berserker class. Since he was well known for his speed, the transfer of the “Vorpal Sword” over to him was rather easy. The singular sword was fashioned into a triumvirate of tools he could use in saving lives. After all, the faster he acted the more lives he could save.
According to a certain rulebook, passing a rather difficult luck check can lead to these blades immediately decapitating a foe. As a surgeon, Liston would rather not have things come to that, but his C- rank in luck does not make this a feasible occurrence anyway. As the original holder of these Noble Phantasms was a Caster class servant, and author no less, these weapons will always go pitifully unfulfilled unless some rare circumstances come to pass.
