Feint: Trick the opponent by striking at one part, but stopping before hitting and immediately striking at another.
Speed
Effect: Feint is a envoked only after an opponent has declared their reaction. The attacker allocates speed as though attacking vs the defender's awareness. If successful, Both the current attack and defense are discarded, but the dice used to mount them are still considered used. A new attack and defense are then mounted with whatever dice they have remaining. If unsuccessful, the attack continues as before, but the attacker loses the speed dice used in the feint and takes a -2 success penalty to their next action or reaction.
Disarm: Attempt to disarm the opponent.
Awareness
Effect: If effective, the attacker successfully knocks the weapon out of the defender's hands. The degree of success determines how far away the disarmed weapon lands.
