Picture

Maneuver + Fire Approach

Once during their turn, before or after performing an action, a character may move 1 range band.  Note that moving this way is not an action.  A character may also move one range band with a Maneuver Action.  If they choose, they may make a TN 2 Fitness check to move two range bands, plus one additional range band per two bonus successes.
In the Fire Stance: When you succeed on a check, you count as having one additional bonus success for each Strife symbol on your kept dice.
Details
The Fire approach to a Martial skill idealizes direct and devastating force, against which few foes would dare stand firm. Maneuvering using Fire allows the Character to:
  • Move rapidly and heedlessly.
  • Force their foe to meet them head-on.
While wearing Cumbersome armor, increase the TN of your checks to maneuver in your environment (such as Movement action checks) by 1. If you moved this turn, increase the TN of Attack action checks using a Cumbersome weapon by 1.

Range Bands
      o. Touch (1-2 feet)
  1. Sword (1-2 yards)
  2. Speer (3-4 yards)
  3. Throw (5-10 yards)
  4. Bow (11-100 yards)
  5. Volley (100+ yards)
  6. Sight (more than a few hundred yards)

 
Opportunity Uses
*
Choose another character in the scene; increase the TN of the next check they make before the start of your next turn if it does not include you as a target
* +
During an Attack action check, increase the TN of the next check the target makes to resist a critical strike they suffer before the start of your next turn by 1 per * spent this way.
* *
Other characters must receive 2 strife to choose you as the target of their Attack and Scheme actions until the start of your next turn.
 
Opportunity Uses
*
 If you failed, determine the easiest way to accomplish the task you were attempting (skill and approach).
* +
Remove 1 strife you gained from this check per * spent this way.
* *
Provide assistance to the next character to attempt a check to accomplish something similar
*
If you failed, provide assistance to the next character trying to accomplish the same action (p. 298 CRB)
*
Inflame another character in the scene with your presence, causing them to receive 2 strife.
* +
*+: Perform the task in a flashy way, drawing attention to yourself. Extra * attracts even more notice.
* *
Notice something missing or out of place in the vicinity that is not directly related to the task. At the GM’s discretion, you may establish an absence, such as a lack of shoes outside indicating the occupant’s absence.
Movement Technique Opportunities
Thunderous Hooves Style (Rank 4 Kata) - Mounted Only
Activation: When you make a Fitness check as part of a Movement action while mounted, you may spend in the following way:
*
+: One character at range 0 of your ending position per * spent this way suffers fatigue and strife equal to your mount’s silhouette unless they choose to immediately move 1 range band away from you.
* * *: Your mount may perform a Strike action with your assistance, targeting one character at range 0
Thicket's Embrace Style (Rank 3 Kata)
Activation: When you perform a Martial Arts [Unarmed] or Fitness Check:
*  If you are in Entangling or Obscuring terrain, reduce the TN of the next attach check you make by 1 (to a minimum of 1). This effect persists until the end of your next turn.
* * If you are in Entangling or Obscuring terrain, you may ignore its negative effects. This effect persists until the end of your next turn.

Special Circumstance Opportunities
In Shadowlands
*+ You spur your comrades on with pleasing encouragement or biting criticism. One other character in the scene per * you spend this way reduces their next TN to resist physical hardship or the influence of the Shadowlands by 1.
Against Tainted Threats
*+ The righteous fury you display can cow even the most terrible of Tainted fiends. Each Tainted being in the scene gains 1 strife, plus 1 additional strife for every ** spent. If you are unaware if another character is Tainted, the GM should record this strife secretly.
While Tainted
** The furious power of Jigoku flows through you, granting you unnatural might. Add 1 kept Ring Dice showing a Strife result to the next Martial Arts check you make. This effect persists until the start of their next turn.
