=== Usage ===


A feint is a 'fake' attack meant to mislead your opponent and make them more vulnerable to followup attacks. This skill allows you to use feints in battle.
Feint does a small amount of damage and demoralizes but its primary usefulness comes in its ability to "reset" your opponent's attention which allows you to use [[Flourish]], [[Flick]], and [[Crippling Strike]] at their full effectiveness again. Without feint you would have to wait several rounds for the enemy to be fully susceptible to those abilities. With feint you would use Flourish or Crippling strike, feint to reset, and use the ability again.


If you successfully feint, your enemy will be open to an attack of opportunity, and will have a harder time dodging or parrying blows.
=== Notes ===


Enemies with a high dexterity compared to yours will be harder to feint, and enemies that are smarter than you are will also be harder to feint. Note that truly stupid, unintelligent entities are completely unaffected by feints, as they lack the intelligence to plan ahead.
