[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 5793515, member: 5038"] Tricks are, basically, maneuvers that give a momentary advantage whether by distraction or an attack that does no real damage. However, sometimes things that appear to be Tricks are Tests of Will (e.g, Feint is a special form of taunt (see the d20 maneuver conversion link below) Three agility trick exampes: 1. nicking someone with the blade to draw blood and, momentarily, blinding them. There is no real damage, just minor enough to distract the opponent or get them to hesitate or lose focus. 2. A leg sweep or trip 3. Foot stomp (edit: Just came across another that I had forgotten about: Throwing sand in someone's eyes) [URL="http://www.peginc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=272199#272199"]Here [/URL]is a post from Clint Black regarding handling D&D 3e maneuvers in Savage Worlds terms. There are a couple of mentions about Tricks- e.g., Aid Another (Smarts), [URL="http://savagepedia.wikispaces.com/file/view/Whispers+from+the+Pit+7.pdf/95637482"]Here [/URL]is a good explanation from Savagepedia that also explains the difference between Tricks and Tests of Wills with numerous examples of Tricks. It also introduces Strength Tricks (although the new Push maneuver in the deluxe edition may override some applications). [/QUOTE]
