Feint.
Hello,
I, and my group, have many discutions about the correct interpretation of How feint works? on Fourth Edition. The discution there is in two points: Feint is a maneuver that can be used on same turn (feint + attack); or I need make feint in a turn, receive the foe's attack, and then, on my next turn, make a attack with feint. The explication on Basic Set or Martial Arts is dubious, allowing two, or more, interpretations. So I ask the opinion of You to resolve it. I thank so much already the attention. |

If, as usually is the case, you have only one attack per turn then it goes like this: Turn 1: Feint, opponent attacks. Turn 2: Attack, benefiting from the effects of your feint on the previous turn. If you have two or more attacks, you can substitute one of your attacks for a feint, so it goes like this: Turn 1: Feint, Attack. Opponent attacks. Generally, a feint substitutes for an attack on a like for like basis. |

Re: Feint.
I thank You by the answer.
So is what I fear.... Sincerely, I prefer the feint on third edition. Feint is very useless on this way. Thank You again and bye. |

Re: Feint.
Feint worked the same way in 3e . . .

Re: Feint.
Why do you find it useless?

Re: Feint.
Feint is very useful, specially if you have the technique from Martial Arts that gives you +5.
Finta é bem útil, ainda mais se você tem a técnica do Martial Arts que lhe dá +5. |

Re: Feint.
If his GM handles it like one of mine did, then the opponent knows he was feinted, and runs away if you did well on the feint.

Re: Feint.
Yeah, it's pretty handy. It seems a little weird, though, feinting then recieving an attack.
I had an unused houserule jotted down in my notes that basically stated if you critically succede on a feint as an attack option, your opponent has a penalty to his upcoming attack, as you've interrupted his assault in some way. No mention of what penalty I thought of at the time, just some extra notes opening up to success by 5 or more, or the possibility of the opponent taking some kind of additional check. None of these were ever used, but I figured this would be a good thread for them. M. |
