| You are now able to develop your own fighting maneuvers. You start with being able to develop a limited amount of maneuvers and gradually increase the number of maneuvers as your training in Combat and Knighthood specializations increase. Each maneuver consists of two variables: the action and the wounds. The action is the attack verb (slash, smash, strike, etc.) that will be executed during the maneuver. The wounds are a list of the specific wounds you are attempting to inflict. (Please note that it does not determine if you are able to execute the action or inflict the wound until you perform the maneuver.)
| |
|
| |
|
| When you perform a maneuver, you will focus all your mental attention on the wounds specified in the maneuver. This has two benefits. First, you will only inflict wounds from that list. So if you want to always inflict a lower level wound even if the target body part is in critical condition then a maneuver consisting only of that lower level wound will do just that. Secondly, provided your wound list is small, you will be able to concentrate more than normal on perfectly executing the attack. This increases your chance of exeuting that wound. Thus if you use a maneuver that consists only of a critical level wound, you lose the ability to do the lower level wounds, but in exchange you increase the likelihood of successfully making that critical wound happen.
