[Basic/Martial Arts] Feint applies to all attacks or just one?

Gnome · 01-12-2018, 11:21 AM

My group ran into this last weekend, and the books seem to say different things. Suppose I have Extra Attack 2. I use my first attack to Feint against you. Does my Feint penalize your defense for both of my next two attacks, or just one of them?

Is the answer any different for a Beat?

EDIT:
relevant quotes:

"The defense penalty applies only to your next attack." (Basic 365)

"A feint that precedes attacks on the same subject during the same maneuver affects the victim’s defenses against those attacks; thus, All-Out Attack (Feint) is no different from using All-Out Attack (Double) to feint and attack the same target." (MA 127)

"The penalty lasts until the end of the next turn of the fighter who made the Beat." (MA 101)
