Thanks for the link, I will check it out.

One thing that I can't wrap my head around is the wait maneuver. Why wouldn't that maneuver also (like feint) be subject to secrecy? Is it because you should never ever (in any RPG) act upon out of character knowledge? If that is true, then why didn't Kromm mention that maneuver in his post?

So, if I a am in an arena and declare:"I wait for my enemy to step into my weapon range, as soon as he does I will attack" why would the enemy player step into my weapon range? According to above quote he would not be acting OOC...

What am I not getting?
