MODIFIERS TO ATTACK (4)
Eye Poke Strike (A modifier to attack which can be performed with Fingertip Attack, Claw Hand, Two-Finger Strike, and Spear Hand, this attack causes partial blindness if successful (-3 to all combat rolls))
Feint: A faked attack which is intended to draw a response from an opponent. This is a Combination Move, used in conjunction with another attack. The character chooses what attack to fake and rolls to strike. Any successful "Strike" results in the faked attack looking like a real attack. If the opponent defends against the fake attack, successfully or not, the attacker then moves into the second attack. Against the second attack, the defender must use a melee round action to defend against it (Automatic moves won't work) and receives no defensive bonuses!
Pain Strike: This modifier to attack is used when the attacker performs a standard attack against a particularly vulnerable portion of the opponent's body. Only done with half normal strike bonuses, but the victim must make a saving throw vs pain if the attack is successful. Like many modifiers to attack, this attack must be called BEFORE rolling to strike, however, it can be used with any strike, hold, lock, or grappling maneuver.
Stapling Throw (When the character wants to disarm or otherwise entangle someone, he can attempt a stapling maneuver. By making a called shot, the character can staple some part of the target's clothing to a nearby object, as long as that object is of a material that is reasonably subject to penetration by thrown weapon (such as wood or plaster). The target must be standing near such an object or the shot is wasted. If the shot is successful, the target is pinned to that object. The target must spend a melee action tearing free, although this requires no roll. Pinned targets defend with a -2 to defensive rolls and to strike. After one melee round, if they have not taken the time to free themselves, they break free due to exertion. During the melees round, the penalties to defense and strike still apply. The stapling shot is not only good for preventing various actions on the part of a hostile person, it serves to demonstrate that the character is far from defenseless.)
