You allow the next melee attack made against you to strike you by actually stepping into the attack so that you use your body to sheath your foe's blade (only works against bladed slashing, hacking, or piercing weapons). To trigger this deed, wait for your toe-to-toe melee foe to successfully strike you, then declare use of Sheathing the Sword. Roll and sacrifice a Risk Die. As long as it doesn't come up '1', you have succeeded in sheathing your foe's weapon in your body. You may, in turn, make an attack roll. As long as it's not a fumble, you hit and deal twice your normal damage if using a knife, dagger, or sword — or else max damage if using some other type of weapon. You sustain max damage from the foe's blade. There is an X% chance you gain one percentile point to your Strength score — where X is equal to the total damage you received from Sheathing the Sword.
