How does feinting work?
Feinting is trying to make your foe think you’ll do something other than what you really plan to do. When you feint, you make a normal weapon skill roll – although you are not going to hit your foe. Then you foe rolls against his Combat/Weapon skill. Three results are possible: • You failed. Nothing happens. • You made a successful roll, but by less than or as much as your foe did. Nothing happens. • You made a successful roll, and by a greater margin than your foe. This difference will be subtracted from your opponent’s Active Defense roll in the next turn, if you manage to hit him.
