======Warrior======
//“Anybody can fight, but only a true warrior can see every movement of their opponent, and comprehend that it is not just about driving one’s blade into one’s foes, but about driving one’s foes into one’s blade.”//

Devoting their lives to the fight, Warriors are combatants who push themselves beyond their limits, performing seemingly impossible feats to turn the tide of battle with little regard to the impact this may have on their bodies.

Manoeuvres are the impressive acts performed by a Warrior these are taxing and cannot be chained together.  A Warrior must leave 15 seconds after the last call made as part of a Manoeuvre before initiating another Manoeuvre.  A limited number of Warrior skills do not count as Manoeuvres and so do not trigger this limit.

The Resource used by Warriors is the Exhaustion. Upon performing some of their special Manoeuvers, Warriors accrue Exhaustions which affect them until they are Refreshed.

=====Level 1=====
====Face Me====
You can single out and engage a target. You may take a DRAW on yourself as though it had originated from a target in order to call a (RANGED) DRAW against that target (this cannot be used this whilst under the effects of DRAW or immune to DRAW).

This Manoeuvre has no Exhaustion.

====Take ‘em With You====
You refuse to leave the battle without taking your foes with you. You may in response to taking and not resisting a REPEL/BE REPELLED (this excludes those triggered from Off-balance) call DRAW against the target that called/triggered the REPEL.

This Manoeuvre has no Exhaustion.

====Burn Self====
When in the Physical plane you can push your body to its limits, refusing to go down whatever strain it may put on you. You may call HEAL on yourself, this may be done even during your death count.  This Manoeuvre’s Exhaustion immediately reduces maximum body hits (so that you heal up to the new reduced maximum), 1/4 of original maximum lost each use (round up if left on a non-integer number), skills that use a fraction of your hits continue to operate based on their original unmodified maximum hits.

This is a special exhaustion and so cannot be changed to a worse one. If your maximum body hits reaches 0 as a result of this, you cannot be healed sufficiently to not be on your death count, and can at best be subject to STABILISE.

Alternatively:\\
Whether in the Physical plane or a Vision Quest you may fight even further beyond your limits through sheer willpower alone. You may call HEAL on yourself, this may be done even during your death count.  This Manoeuvre’s Exhaustion reduces maximum Spirit hits - for each use 2 spirit hits are lost from maximum, skills that use a fraction of your hits continue to operate based on your original unmodified maximum hits.

This is a special exhaustion and so cannot be changed to a worse one. If your maximum Spirit hits reaches 0 as a result of this, you cannot be healed sufficiently to not be on your death count, and can at best be subject to STABILISE.
 
====Line Break====
You can throw your foes into disarray with a burst of power. You may call ARC REPEL with an aggressive shout or weapon swing.

This Manoeuvre’s Exhaustion is [[system:exhaustions#off-balance|Off-balance]].

====Mighty Leap====
You can leap immense distances. You may call DISAPPEARING, when you do this you GAIN APPEARING (with the standard 10s in which to make the call), as soon as you can after appearing you MUST call MASS STRIKEDOWN.

This Manoeuvre’s Exhaustion is [[system:exhaustions#off-balance|Off-balance]].

====Sucker Punch====
You know how to strike hard and fast. If you make the first offensive call in an encounter no resources are expended to make it (a Maneuver used to make the call does not trigger its Exhaustion or a limited use call is not used up).

This Manoeuvre has no Exhaustion.

====Fixate====
By focusing on a single target, you can fight with greater fervour. You may take a DRAW ONGOING towards a target in exchange for a STRENGTHEN applying to all your attacks vs that target only.  Any effect that ends the DRAW early ends the STRENGTHEN benefit.  For the sake of simplicity this may not be used whilst under the effect of DRAW.

This Manoeuvre has no Exhaustion.

====Weapon Mastery 1====
You gain use of the calls granted by Weapon Call 1 for your currently attuned weapon type (this stacks with the skill Weapon Call 1).  Unlike the calls from Weapon Call 1, you can also use these extra calls during Vision Quests.

This does not count as a Manoeuvre.

====Fundamental Weapon====
Your vision quest weapon can take the form of any weapon type that you can attune to (chosen on entering the vision quest), you can use this as though attuned.

In addition as a Manoeuvre you can make use of your normal weapon skills (excluding Combat Proficiency) for 30 seconds in a Vision Quest.

This Manoeuvre’s Exhaustion is [[system:exhaustions#off-balance|Off-balance]]

=====Level 2=====
====Get Up!====
You may shout “encouragement” at a target on 0 hits within polearm reach in order to call HEAL on them.  As a lingering effect this HEAL causes heavy disorientation, the events of the battle will be a blur to the one who benefited from it.

This Manoeuvre’s Exhaustion is [[system:exhaustions#Concussion|Concussion]]

====Stagger Burst====
You may initiate a complex destructive combo against a target.  During this time you debilitate the target and protect yourself but unfortunately end up sharing in attacks aimed at your victim.

You call (RANGED) LOCK EVERYTHING against a target, whilst the target is locked you may call resist to all hits against you (this includes the damage).  During this period the you can make up to 6 strikes against the target (but cannot strike others), each time you are hit you lose one of these strikes.  In addition you also take any damage the target takes from external sources other than yourself.

This Manoeuvre’s Exhaustion is [[system:exhaustions#Faltering|Faltering]]

====Hardened====
Your defence becomes perfect for a period of time.  You may call NULL to all damage and physical effects for 10s, you must still attempt to roleplay defending yourself and may not make offensive calls during this time.

This Manoeuvre’s Exhaustion is [[system:exhaustions#Extend_Suffering|Extend Suffering]]

====Launch into orbit====
You may knock targets away with extreme force, call REPEL, if that is not resisted call EFFECT DISAPPEAR.

This Manoeuvre’s Exhaustion is [[system:exhaustions#off-balance|Off-balance]]

====Unexpected Attack====
You may make a call you could make as a weapon strike as RANGED against someone in (polearm) melee range without actually striking.  This consumes any limited use calls used on it, non-physrepped bow attacks are capped at HEX.

This Manoeuvre’s Exhaustion is [[system:exhaustions#Faltering|Faltering]]

====Shake It Off====
You may bring extended impairments to an end faster than expected.  After 10s under an impairment you may call RESIST and remove the remaining duration, Extend Suffering stacks increase that 10s timer.

This does not count as a Manoeuvre but triggers [[system:exhaustions#Extend_Suffering|Extend Suffering]]

====Weapon Mastery 2====
You gain use of the calls granted by Weapon Call 2 for your currently attuned weapon type (this stacks with the skill Weapon Call 2).  Unlike the calls from Weapon Call 2, you can also use these calls during Vision Quests.

This does not count as a Manoeuvre.

====Act of Determination====
You may channel the power of the Warrior into your actions. For each instance of this skill you gain 1 Act of Power per adventure.

=====Level 3=====
====Burn Void====
You may fight on even further when there seems to be nothing left to burn, knowing that the price will be paid further down the line. You may call HEAL on yourself, this may be done even during your death count.  This borrows from your future fate.

The Manoeuvre’s Exhaustion requires telling a GM how many times you have used it at the end of the encounter.  The GM MUST call FIAT “Lose all hits” against you in each of the next 2 encounters for each use.  This Exhaustion is not cleared by a Refresh.

====Finishing move====
You have a flashy finishing move. The final strike of a Stagger Burst or Stagger Break combo may be MASS.

====Dance of Death====
You may move in such a way as to make a group of your foes their own worst enemies.  Once you start this Maneuver you may call NULL to all damage and physical effects for 10s so long as there is another target in melee range who you immediately make that call against, you may not make other offensive calls during this time (do not call NULL if you cannot redirect the call, redirecting of calls obeys the one second rule as normal).

This Manoeuvre’s Exhaustion is [[system:exhaustions#Faltering|Faltering]]

====Deadly Momentum====
You may strike at many targets with far more deadly grace than you could use against one.  Once this Manoeuvre is started, so long as you each of your strikes is against a target that you have not yet struck in this Manoeuvre each attack does 1 point more damage than the last (this obeys the damage cap for the weapon you are using).  This also ends when you voluntarily stop moving or if you have not struck a blow in 20 seconds.

This Manoeuvre’s Exhaustion is Hampered Movement

====Weapon Mastery 3====
You gain use of the calls granted by Weapon Call 3 for your currently attuned weapon type (this stacks with the skill Weapon Call 3).  Unlike the calls from Weapon Call 3, you can also use these calls during Vision Quests.

This does not count as a Manoeuvre.

=====Level 4=====
====Stagger Break====
This Manoeuvre is an improvement to Stagger Burst such as enemies trying to interfere with your combo no longer distract you.

You call (RANGED) LOCK EVERYTHING against a target, whilst the target is locked you may call resist to all hits against you (this includes the damage).  During this period the you can make up to 6 strikes against the target (but cannot strike others).  In addition you also take any damage the target takes from external sources other than yourself.

This Manoeuvre’s Exhaustion is [[system:exhaustions#Faltering|Faltering]]

====Killing Blow====
This Manoeuvre allows you to ignore everything else to land one perfect strike.  Once you trigger this Manoeuvre for the next 10s call NULL to all damage and physical effects.  You may make one strike during this (call ZERO) then call HEX STRIKEDOWN at the end of the NULL period against the target you struck for ZERO.  You take a DAZE 3 at the end of this (this may be used to strike a pose, its duration is affected by Extend Suffering).

This Manoeuvre’s Exhaustion is [[system:exhaustions#Extend_Suffering|Extend Suffering]]

====Everywhere at Once ====
Once you trigger this ability as an ONGOING EFFECT, you may call DISAPPEARING and GAIN APPEARING whenever you are hit, this does not prevent the damage or effect from the blow that triggered it.

This does not count as a Manoeuvre but triggers [[system:exhaustions#Concussion|Concussion]]

====Personal Mastery====
You have developed your own special signature move. Discuss with the organisers what you would like this to do, generally it will come in the form of a Manoeuvre.

====Act of Determination====
You may channel the power of the Warrior into your actions. For each instance of this skill you gain 1 Act of Power per adventure.

Having the second rank of this skill allows you to gain 2 levels from self sacrifice, though note that there is no such thing as a level 4 Act of Power.
