Rules & Guidelines

So, you're a highly skilled fighter and want to use your unique fighting style to enhance your character's roleplay and gameplay? Well that's great! Using your Combat Maneuvers is basic and easy. If you belong to the combat class, or if you have the skill 'Combat Affinity' you may create and implement your Combat Maneuvers. But, in our game there's a few "rules" you need to know.

Who can use Combat Maneuvers?
If you choose the Combat Class you are automatically allowed to have a Fighting Style. If you choose Combat Affinity for a skill, you are able to use these maneuvers, regardless of your class. If you are not Combat Class, and/or do not have Combat Affinity you CANNOT USE Combat Maneuvers!

What about other classes?
As mentioned, if you have selected the Combat Class as one of your classes, then you automatically have Combat Affinity. If you are any other class, you must select the skill 'Combat Affinity'. That's it.

When Can I NOT use Combat Maneuvers in OH?
The mental concentration it takes for you to properly execute your Combat Maneuvers means that during a fight you must make a choice. You may either use Combat Maneuvers OR Registered Spells. You may not use both. This does not mean you may not use your Combat Maneuvers and generic magical attacks, only that you cannot use both regged maneuvers and regged spells in the same fight. So decide if you are going to use magic, or strictly combat in any given fight.

Where do Combat Maneuvers come from in our realm?
Every fighter develops their own unique style. They can learn their skills from anyplace; a mentor, a family member, an old tome, their own brutal lessons on the fields of battle.

What kind of maneuvers can I use?
Well all that would take to answer your question is a quick glance at the "Ranks & Their Limitations" section. There it gives a full description of what your maneuvers can and can not do. While some fighters have a supernatural aura about them, keep in mind, maneuvers are not magic. Though the fighter's race and other skills may play into effect granting a bit of wiggle room.

Do I have to tell you the maneuvers?
Yes. In order to ensure that your maneuvers have been written correctly and may be used properly, we have to register them and approve them. Send your maneuvers to The Systems Mod to look over, then when he approves them, you place them in your dossier. Be sure to follow the guideline for creating your maneuvers.

What do I put in my character sheet dossier?
If you wish to use your unique Fighting Style, you need to list out what maneuvers your character knows. Any maneuver not posted, is simply not in your repertoire. You may choose to list them by name and type only if you wish, or the full descriptions - your call! Think of it like this, you would not go into a fight carrying only the scabbard and not the sword would you? When you use a maneuver in combat you need to IMMEDIATELY (or beforehand) c&p your FULL maneuver description into an IM to the DM. If you fail to give the DM the maneuver, then the DM has every right to disregard.

How many maneuvers do I get?
26. That's right, twenty-six total by the time you reach Diamond.

The chart below shows how many you get at each gemstone rank:
Crystal: +5
Topaz: +3
Amber: +3
Sapphire: +3
Emerald: +3
Ruby: +3
Obsidian: +3
Diamond: +3

How do I write a maneuver?
We could not have been more pleased that you asked! Simply see the guide on how to accomplish such a thing.

Are there any penalties for maneuver usage?
You know it! Spending a lifetime doing combat should effect you. So, you'll be asked to take on quirks or weaknesses as you go up in rank. You can take any quirk/weakness you like, I have a list of various types if you need help.
Crystal - 1
Sapphire - Take another Quirk
Ruby - Take another Quirk
Obsidian - Take final Quirk (total: 4)

Will maneuvers always work?
Nope. While harder to try to cut out something your character knows as opposed to magic, there are any number of situations that could occur by the choice of a DM that might limit your ability to use what you know. So like anything else in this game, nothing is forever and fully at your use at all times.

How do I use my maneuvers outside combat?
Being that these fighting styles are combat based, it is highly improbable you would use any one of them outside of combat except for skill effects or flavor effects. Should you find a reason, and a situation, you role play out your character beginning to use the maneuver. Right before you get to the maneuver's description, you stop your post, and ask for a save by posting this:
[Maneuver: (name) - Target: (target/s) - Maneuver Type: (attack / defense / heal / etc) - Save: +The Number]
If the save passes, you RP out the maneuver not working correctly.
If the save fails, you RP out the maneuver in it's complete fashion.
Things that cause you to be held for various rounds, get a save each round..

How do I use a Maneuver INSIDE combat?
Once again, you role play out your character beginning to use the maneuver. Right before you get to the maneuver's description, you stop your post, and ask for a save by posting this:
[Maneuver: (name) - Target: (target/s) - Maneuver Type: (attack / defense / heal / etc) - Save: +The Number]
If the spell save passes, you RP out the spell not working correctly.
If the save passes, you RP out the maneuver not working correctly.
If the save fails, you RP out the maneuver in it's complete fashion.
Things that cause you to be held for various rounds, get a save each round..
Also note, that if this is your registered maneuver you are using in combat, you do NOT have to roll to see if you hit their Defense DC. The save takes care of whether it "hits" or not.

How many registered maneuvers can I use?
Out of Combat: If it makes sense for a combat based maneuver to be used outside of combat, you may.

Inside of Combat: 2 maneuvers per combat. Unless you have a skill or item that allows an extra one, those are the rules.

Unlearning Maneuvers
You may unlearn as many CM's over the lifetime of your character as the Quickness (QCK) points you have. So if you have 10 points in QCK, you can unlearn 10 maneuvers. Send all CM changes to the Systems Mod.

Maneuver Creation

You may develop maneuvers for all types of situations, only your imagination will stop you. Your maneuvers can be positive, such as boosting your abilities; or negative, such as crippling effects, loss of turns, and other negative reactions.

Each of your maneuver write-ups should give the following information however you wish to state it and mail it to The Systems Mod for approval:

Fighting Style:
Maneuver Name:
Type of Maneuver:
Range/area of effect:
Target/s:
Duration:
Saving Throw: (Yes or No)
Explanation:

Explanations

Fighting Style: As those of the arcane class have their fields (invocation, divination, etc., etc..) those of the combat class have the field in which their combat style is birthed from. You may wish to go fully creative and give your particular fighting style a name and a back-story, though at the bare base minimum we ask that you state what weapon or weapon(s) are used. As in is your fighting style unarmed? Sword and shield? Dual swords? A spear?

Maneuver Name: This is the title of your maneuver.

Type of Maneuver: Maneuver are classified much like skills. Make sure we know what type of maneuver it is, listed in the maneuver writing section below. Such as:
Attack
AoE Attack
Defense
Defense Absorb
Evade
Reflect
Effect - Maneuvers that create an effect, that doesn't fit any other type.

Range/Area of Effect: Does your maneuver effect one person within visual range? 25 yards radius? An entire building? CHECK OUR RANGES, there are limits.

Target: Who the target of the maneuver is, it can be another creature (or creatures), yourself, an area, etc.

Duration: How long does the effect last? One round of combat? Instantaneous? 30 minutes? Etc. CHECK DURATIONS, we do have limits.


**Special Note: Combat Maneuvers are NOT magic. You will not cast fireballs, you will not fly, you will not teleport, etc.. When you think of combat maneuvers, think of movies or stories where the hero or villain was such a master at their style that there was an almost supernatural feel to it. The use of pure concentration, soul purity, rage, chi, or whatever other "force" was tied to the style. So be prepared at times during the writing of your styles to be asked "why" or "how" for clarification upon your maneuvers.

Explanations Of Abilities
of your Maneuver

These are the types of Maneuvers that you may write for this game with a brief explanation of exactly what they are.

Attack: A maneuver that does one-time damage (your dice roll plus boost).

Defense: A maneuver that grants a one-time defense against damage upon target.

Constant Attack or Defense: A maneuver that does damage for the duration of combat (your roll is initial damage, then the constant damage [1, 2, or 3] points happen each round). Or a maneuver that does defense for the duration of combat, so if you can do a constant +3 and you cast your defense maneuver you get a +3 DEF through combat.

AoE's: Area of Effects target multiple foes.

Combat, Skill, Flavor Effects: Effects are maneuver that do something unique, either in combat, non-combat or just for flavor. You are not going to have as many of these to choose from as spellcasters because CM's are normally combat based.  **See Below for further clarification on Combat Effects**

Evades: Evades damage, must be done INSTANTLY after taking damage, regardless of turn order.

Evade 1/2 Dmg: You evade half the damage done to you.

Reflect 1/2 Damage: Turns half the damage back against attacker.

Reflect Full Damage: Turns the full damage back against attacker, original target takes none.

1d Extra: When using a maneuver, you use 1d higher than you normally would.

Dual Maneuver: This is a maneuver that allows for two things to take place at once. To be labeled as a "Dual" in the type slot of maneuver writing.
Examples of a Dual Maneuvers
An Effect (lose turn) also dealing damage like an Attack maneuver.
An Attack that also offers you a Defense.
An Attack that also causes a weaken.
A Defense that also causes a boost.

Ranks & Their Limitations

These are the limits your Maneuvers can do at your rank. You may write your Maneuver so that it grows with you quite easily, if you do not, then your Maneuver does not grow -it stays as written.

Saving Throws
Firstly, Combat Class members get a +2 to their DC. The type of saving throw that your Maneuver does will not always be the same. It all depends upon what your end goals are. An example would be that your blows stuns an enemy so badly that they lose a turn. The save for the target would be Endurance based, your trait applied to the DC would be Strength. Whereas if your maneuver is designed to intimidate them into a loss of turn, the save would be their Intimidate. This may make things perhaps a bit more complex, though a necessary thing as we do not have the luxury of having one sole root of power, such as the Arcane folks. If you have a question as to what the save DC is based on/countered with, contact the Combat Mod or make note of it during your maneuver submission and the two of you will sort it out.

Base DC
Crystal & Topaz: 10
Amber: 11
Sapphire: 12
Emerald: 13
Ruby: 14
Obsidian: 15

Ranges and Durations
These are the ranges and durations for effect / misc maneuvers that don't already have round limits. This would be for something like an intimidation maneuver, that would last 6 hours at Amber rank.

Crystal and Topaz: Range 50ft / Duration 3 hours
Amber: Range 100ft / Duration 6 hours
Sapphire: Range 150ft / Duration 12 hours
Emerald and Ruby: Range 200ft / Duration 24 hours
Obsidian: Range 250ft / Duration 48 hours

NPCs vs PC's
Any description that only lists NPC numbers, if you decide to use those maneuvers against other PC's such as in a mass spar type event, effects 1 less PC than the NPCs listed. So, something that effects 4NPCs would effect 3PC's.

Heals
Save: No, unless unwilling.
Note: Must have Healing Affinity, or Self-Healing to write healing spells.
*Note: You may use healing maneuvers inside or outside of combat. If used within combat, they do count as one of your allowed combat maneuvers. Also remember, these are maneuvers not spells.

Amber: Heal up to 15hp
Sapphire: Heal up to 20hp
Emerald: Heal 1/2 Dmg or 25hp

[This can be a one-time heal, or healing over time. All the heal points must be used by the target, but for instance if you cast a 20hp heal and they only need 10hp healing that round, they can be healed of the other 10 in rounds to come. It is your job to keep up with this.]

AoE Heals
Save: No, unless unwilling.
Note: Must have Healing Affinity, or Self-Healing to write healing maneuvers.
*Note: You may use healing maneuvers  inside or outside of combat. If used within combat, they do count as one of your allowed combat maneuvers. Also remember this cannot be magical, so they should be mundane focused like bandages, herbal remedies, combat medic type stuff.

Dual Maneuvers
Save: Yes, unless special and approved.
Dual maneuvers are something like a hold that does damage. Putting two types together is going to make it a little less powerful than if it was on it's own.
* It depends on the dual maneuver whether you can use it outside combat. Be logical. If it's a hold/dmg, then it's an IN COMBAT CM.

For instance, a Hold / Dmg maneuver might look like this:

Crystal and Topaz: 1 round / +4 DMG
Amber and Sapphire: 1 round / +6 DMG
Emerald and Ruby: 2 rounds / +8 DMG
Obsidian: 3 rounds / +10 DMG

Or an AoE Hold / DMG maneuver would look like:

Amber and Sapphire: 1 round / +6 DMG / 2 NPCs
Emerald and Ruby: 2 rounds / +8 DMG / 3 NPCs
Obsidian: 3 rounds / +10 DMG / 4 NPCs

Or a Group Absorb would look like:

Crystal and Topaz: Absorbs 5 Dmg / 2 Allies + Self

Sapphire: Absorbs 9 Dmg / 4 Allies + Self
Emerald and Ruby: Absorbs 11 Dmg / 5 Allies + Self
Obsidian: Absorbs 15 Dmg / All Allies

Crystal, Topaz, Amber: Evade 1/4 / +5 DMG
Sapphire & Emerald: Evade 1/2 / +10 DMG
Ruby and Obsidian: Evade Full / +15 DMG

Or a Constant Damage / Strike Boost might be:

Crystal & Topaz: Constant +1 DMG / +1 Strike
Amber & Sapphire: Constant +2 DMG / +1 Strike
Emerald & Ruby: Constant +3 DMG / +2 Strike
Obsidian: Constant +4 DMG / +3 Strike

Combat Effects
Save: Yes, unless special and approved.
Combat Effect maneuvers are varied, and each will need to be submitted for approval. Listed below are the ranges and durations used for effect maneuvers.

Hit Incorporeal Creatures
Counterattacks
Second Attack if Target Evades
Fear/Remove Fear Effects

Save: Not usually, unless resistant for some reason.
Duration: Depends.

---

Flavor Effects
Flavor effects are just that, to add flavor to your roleplay.
