Swing Through (3 AP)

Passion Effects are considered individually. If the Strike produces Defensive Hits, they are figured as if Striking only the elohim whose Guard was used.

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.
