Swing Through (3 or 4 AP)
Swing Through allows the elohim to Strike additional Targets with their Strike. The Strike is made vs. the highest Guard (or best total Adjustments) among the Targets. Passion Effects are considered individually. If Targeting 2 Targets, Swing Through uses 3 AP, but if Targeting 3 or more, it uses 4 AP. Each additional Target damaged adds 1 Exertion to the Strike. Any Level of Swing Through that includes a “.5” indicates that an extra Target may be Struck, damage is -50% for that Target.
Swing Through may not be used on a single Target and cannot be performed while in Defensive Stance. If there are Defensive Hits, they are figured as if Striking only the elohim whose defense was used.
[For Flesh, there is no Exertion.]

Grand Parry (3 AP)
Grand Parry gives the elohim 7 additional Guard vs. one incoming Strike. Additionally, the Guard bonus provided by Martial Mastery is tripled. Each 1 not used to counter a 12 produces an additional Stop. The elohim must have 3 Action Points Readied to use Grand Parry for each Strike they wish to Parry. Grand Parry only adds 2 Exertion. The elohim can Move 1” while Grand Parrying.
This Maneuver is not a Strike and so does not cost additional Action Points to use while in Defensive Stance. The additional Force for Defensive Hits will not matter if Parrying a Ranged Strike because there are no Defensive Hits with Ranged Strikes.
