General Maneuvers
Charge (3 AP)
Charge allows the elohim to Move a greater distance while making a Strike, generally toward a Target. At Mastery Levels 4 and 5, Charge also grants additional Force for the Strike.
Charge may be used to Strike outside Melee Range with a Spear. Charge may be employed without actually Striking a Target. If doing so, Exertion is still gained. Unlike other Strikes, the elohim can only Strike a Target within Range from where they end the Charge.

Launching Strike (3 AP)
Launching Strike allows the elohim to Move a greater distance while making a Strike, generally away from a Target. At Mastery Levels 4 and 5, Launching Strike gives the elohim additional Guard vs. the next incoming Strike before their next Activation.
Launching Strike may be employed without actually Striking a Target. If doing so, Exertion is still gained. Unlike other Strikes, the elohim can only Strike a Target within Range from where they begin the Launching Strike.

Jab (2 AP)
Jab is a sudden, short Strike intended to stagger an opponent that can be made regardless of the weapon currently equipped. Jab causes Falter:1 if there are any uncanceled Hits in the Strike. The 12 Effect and Passion Effect are both Falter:1 instead of those of the current weapon. If another Jab is attempted immediately after a Jab with uncanceled Stops, the Defender gets +1 Defensive Adjustment. At Mastery Level 4, Jab causes Falter:2 if there are any uncanceled Hits. At Mastery Level 5, there is no longer a Defensive Adjustment for uncanceled Stops in a preceding Jab.
| Mastery Level 1 |
-50% Wear Falter:1 if any uncanceled Hits 12 Effect & Passion Effect are both F:1 uncanceled Stops give +1 Defensive Adjustment vs. another Jab |
| Mastery Level 2 |

Lunge (4 AP)
Lunge is a Strike that gives increased Force, but is a slower Strike. The elohim may also Move 3” with this Strike. At Mastery Level 4, Lunge also ignores 1 Stop. At Mastery Level 5, Lunge also ignores 2 Stops.
| Mastery Level 1 |

Recovery (3 AP)
Recovery allows the elohim to use Faltered Action Points to perform a Strike with lowered Precision. Recovery can also be used to recover Faltered Action Points without actually Striking a Target and still Moving up to 2". If doing so, Exertion is still gained. At Mastery Level 4 Falter does not translate into Wear for this elohim until their next Activation when exceeding F:7. It is still translated into Wear if the elohim is suffering from Falter:1 Cycle or immobile. Also at Mastery Level 4, Recovery may also be used to remove Falter from others within Melee Range of the elohim. Any Falter recovered from others is counted toward the maximum amount of Falter that can be recovered with Maneuver's use. (Ex. The elohim could recover from F:3 and also help another to recover from up to F:4, for a total of F:7 recovered.) At Mastery Level 5, Precision is no longer reduced.
| Mastery Level 1 |
uses and/or removes up to 3 Faltered Action Points -3 Precision |
| Mastery Level 2 |
uses and/or removes up to 4 Faltered Action Points -2 Precision |
| Mastery Level 3 |
uses and/or removes up to 5 Faltered Action Points -1 Precision |
| Mastery Level 4 |
uses and/or removes up to 7 Faltered Action Points Falter does not become Wear until end of next Activation Recovery can be used to remove Falter from others -1 Precision |
| Mastery Level 5 |
uses and/or removes up to 12 Faltered Action Points Falter does not become Wear until end of next Activation Recovery can be used to remove Falter from others |
Lead (2 AP)
Lead is a fast Strike that is intended to direct the Target's response, leaving them vulnerable. The Target’s Guard is reduced against the next Strike that targets them before their next Activation. WearE from Lead is reduced.
| Mastery Level 1 |
2 less Guard vs. next Strike -50% Wear |
| Mastery Level 2 |
3 less Guard vs. next Strike -40% Wear |

Parry (2 AP)
Parry gives the elohim additional Guard vs. one incoming Strike. The elohim must have 2 Action Points Readied to Parry for each Strike they wish to Parry. Parry only adds 1 Exertion. The elohim can Move 1” while Parrying. At Mastery Level 4, Parry allows you to borrow Action Points from an upcoming Activation. You can only have borrowed Action Points for one Parry. At Mastery Level 5, up to two Parries may be borrowed ahead of time.
This Maneuver is not a Strike and so does not cost additional Action Points to use while in Defensive Stance.
| Mastery Level 1 | +3 Guard vs. one Strike |
| Mastery Level 2 | +7 Guard vs. one Strike |
| Mastery Level 3 | +11 Guard vs. one Strike |
| Mastery Level 4 |
