Maneuver extensions (close combat)

For two actions that you add to the maneuver, you gain assurance. You then choose the roll result that suits you best.

You must complete the assurance in the same round as the maneuver itself (or rather its last action).

Assurance applies to all rolls the character makes in this action, including a follow-up knock-down, push-off or disarm.

For one action that you add to the maneuver, you gain caution: reroll one 1 (A1), i.e. you may reroll a rolled one once.

You must complete the caution in the same round as the maneuver itself (or rather its last action).

Caution applies to all rolls the character makes in this action, including a follow-up knock-down, push-off or disarm.

Deception is an extension with which you lure your opponent out and make him expose himself.

It is resolved before the roll to hit. If your deception succeeds, the opponent has a -5 penalty to defense against you.

You can tick Ambush Attack only in the first round of combat. It is resolved before the roll to hit as a contest of your Stealth against the opponent's Perception; poor visibility lowers the opponent's Perception.

If you succeed, the whole attack gets the Ambush Attack bonus (a character value raised by Stealth feats) to hit and penetration, including any assured die. If you fail, the attack goes ahead normally.

Roll a contest. If the defender rolls less, he is knocked down (see Position in combat).

With this maneuver you push your opponent back to the reach of your weapon (which makes sense when you have a longer weapon). You can thus prevent your opponent from reaching you in an engagement (and attacking), or push back an opponent who is too close.

With this maneuver you outwit your opponent in close combat. If you succeed in the comparison, you will not have a penalty for a targeted attack. The maneuver can only be chosen together with a targeted attack.

Because you have a great advantage over the enemy, your attack will be hard to defend against. Every defensive maneuver of your opponent against this attack costs 1 more action. If they have no actions left for defense, they defend passively.

Because you have a great advantage over the enemy, your attack will be hard to defend against. Every defensive maneuver of your opponent against this attack costs 2 more actions. If they have no actions left for defense, they defend passively.

An extension of an attack for 1 action. Damage is higher by 1, and if the hit causes a knock-out roll, you get a +5 bonus to it.

The maneuver is opened by the feat Perfect Attack.

An extension of an unarmed attack with which you try to engage the opponent in wrestling. It costs no extra action, but you get a -5 penalty to WA.

If you hit, wrestling begins: you have the active role and the opponent the passive one. Against a deceived opponent, wrestling begins even without a hit. An incorporeal creature cannot be engaged in wrestling.

You do not have to attack only the body; you can attack your opponent's weapon or try to stun him.

You deliberately conduct the strike so as to stun the opponent but not injure them much. You get a -2 penalty to WA and WP and inflict less damage. However, a knock-out roll is triggered already by damage of 1 health level (normally only 2 levels), and you get a +5 bonus to it. If the victim fails the roll, they are knocked out, the longer the more they lost by.

If the defender rolls less, his weapon is knocked out of his hand.
