Martial Arts: Attack

Expanded Combat Maneuvers: Attack

When attacking with a technique, be sure to read its description! Many techniques – especially cinematic ones – don't allow an ordinary Attack maneuver. They only work with All-Out Attack, Committed Attack, or Move and Attack. Note also that while Attack allows "any" active defense, some attacks preclude a later parry. In particular:

• If using a weapon that can get stuck (see Picks), you cannot parry until you free the weapon.
• If you grab or grapple, the hand(s) you use to grip your foe cannot parry.
• If you strike using a weapon that becomes unready, it cannot parry afterward.
• If you strike using an unbalanced weapon, you cannot parry with it that turn.
