They're not explained until pg. 348, despite the term being used many, many times before that, which is crazy. I'd suggest moving the explanation of core mechanics to the beginning of the game -- but the page references, won't somebody please think of the page references <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f606.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":LOL:" title="Laugh    :LOL:"  data-smilie="17"data-shortname=":LOL:" />I found out why the Feint rule is so awkward: it's because the mechanic is subtly different from a normal Quick Contest. In a normal Quick Contest, your margin of victory includes your opponent's margin of failure, if they failed their roll. In a Feint, your bonus is capped at your margin of success; it never includes your opponent's margin of failure.I hope this fiddly difference is necessary to prevent high Feint bonuses from somehow breaking the game, because it's pretty ugly.</blockquote>
