====== Feint ======
{{tag>activity short_action}}

You perform a misleading movement to distract or trick a foe, leaving them open to a follow-up strike.
**Roll+CHA**.

  * **Complete Success**:  The target is completely fooled. You gain favour on your next attack against this target. In addition, choose one Good Thing from the list below.
  * **Success**:  The target is momentarily distracted. You gain favour on your next attack against this target.
  * **Partial Success**:  The target honours the threat, but doesn't completely relax their guard. You gain favour on your next attack, but you must choose one Bad Thing from the list below.
  * **Failure**:  The target is not fooled. Your follow-up is predictable.
  * **Complete Failure**:  You stumble during your attempt. Not only do you fail to trick the target, but you suffer one Bad Thing from the list below.

Favour granted by a Feint is fleeting.  If not used before the end of your //current// turn, it is lost.

==== Good Things ====
  * Your foe blundered into your Feint, and takes one die of weapon damage.
  * The target is [[ironbound:conditions:Staggered]] until the end of their next turn.
  * The target remains distracted, and you maintain favour on attacks against that foe until the start of your next turn.

==== Bad Things ====
  * The target sees a real opening and may immediately [[ironbound:rules:activities:Counterattack]].
  * You lose your focus and cannot Feint this target again for the rest of the encounter.
  * You overextend and become [[ironbound:conditions:Open]] until the end of your next turn.
