FEINTING IN ELRIC!/BRP

I, as a player, always wanted to do something to decrease a foe's defense roll. After reading rules from other RPGs I got an idea.

How to Feint?

The attacker declares he will make a special Feint attack. Make the attacker and defender roll against DEXx5% to see who reacts faster and how. Unless only one of the two opponents criticals this role, nothing happened because either no one did anything remarkable, or the feint was canceled by an equally fast reaction.

If just one of the opponents criticals:

* The attacker rolls a critical: A successful feint. Halve
defender's parry skill for this attack.

* The defender rolls a critical: You may use the failed feint of your
foe to strike him in a non-protected area. Make an immediate free
attack, with the attacker parrying at half. (Note: this works like
responses, which are free attacks)

Whether the Feint is successful or not, the normal attack roll is then made.

EXAMPLE: Markus from Vilmir tries to feint Dafgar of Dharijor. Markus rolls and succeeds normally, but Dafgar makes a critical roll. Dafgar makes his free attack, Marku failed the parry and marks off some hit points. The battle now continues regularly.

NOTES: Feints can be done or tried only once per foe per battle (once he feints you learn his movements and you can not be feinted again).
