Attack Options Heroic swordsmen don’t just stand still and hack at their opponents; they dash back and forth, trading parries and ripostes with skill and agility. A great way to add excitement and flavor to your battles is to allow PCs the chance to try flashy maneuvers or special tactics against their dastardly foes.

In a melee, characters can choose any number of tactics instead of a simple strike or thrust. The following attack options are available to any character proficient with the weapon he is using:


Block
Pull/trip

Called shot
Sap

Disarm
Shield-punch

Grab
Shield-rush

Overbear
Unarmed attack

Pin
Unhorse

Special weapon maneuver
