Blocks
Deflecting Punch*
Prerequisits: Dodge 3, Brawl 1, Punch Defense
Power Points: 2
Several fighting styles, including Wing Chun Kung Fu and some varieties
of Karate, have developed quick counterpunches that actually deflect an
opponent's punch at the same time the fighter himself is attacking. When
the fighter sees his opponent punching, he counters with his own punch,
deflecting his opponents punch with his arm as his own fist continues on
to strike his opponent.
System: The fighter must interrupt his opponents Punch maneuver
(the blocking part of this maneuver is only works against punches.) The
Opponent rolls damage for his punch even though he was interrupted, the
Fighter gets his full Block soak against the opponent's damage. If the
opponent uses an attack other than a punch, the fighter just gets to use
his normal soak, without any bonuses for blocking (although he can still
land his counterpunch)
Once the opponent has delt damage, the fighter immediantly gets
to land his counterpunch unless he was Dazed, knocked back or knocked down
by his opponent's attack. The fighter calculates damage using his Brawl
(or Do.)
Cost: None
Initative: +2
Accuracy: +0
Damage: -1
Move: None
Punch Defense*

Power Points: 1
Similar to Kick Defense, this manuver incorporates a variety of
ducking, bobbing and deflective movements that defend a fighter against

the fighter is +4 to soak punches -2 to soak any other type of manuever.
This soak modifer is added to or subtracted the fighter's normal Blocking
soak total.
Cost: None
Initiative: +4
Accuracy: None
Damage: None
Move: None
Evasions
Displacement*
Prerequisits: Dodge 2, Brawl
1, Athletics 1, Evasion
Power Points: 3
This maneuver consists of a quick
sidestep (allowing the fighter to avoid his opponent's blow), followed
by a rapid strike (if the opponent is still in range).
Systems: This maneuver is
completely effective only if the fighter is quicker than his opponent and
has enough Move to initiate a counterattack. When the opponent begins his
attack, the fighter must have a high enough initiative to interrupt the
attack; otherwise; the Displacement is ineffective. After interrupting,
the fighter may then travel upto his full Move of the left or right of
his opponent. Once the opponent's move is completed, the 'displaced' fighter
may then move back in and counterattack if he has enough Move left. The
fighter's Brawl (not Dodge) technique is used to calculate damage.
Cost: 1 Willpower
Initiative: +2
Accuracy: -1
Damage: -1
Move: +1
Evasion*
Prerequisits: Dodge 1, Athletics

have enough Initative to interrupt his attacker. As the opponent attacks,
the fighter simply moves out of harm's way upto two feet away.
Cost: none
Initiative: +2
Accuracy: None
Damage: None
Move: 2
