Doing so imposes an attack penalty of -2, -4 or -6 (player's choice), but the same value is used as the stunt's critical threat range (which is separate from your weapon's normal critical range). Score a threat and confirm it with a successful attack roll, and your special move pays off with an effect that hampers your opponent. If you score a threat but fail to confirm, you achieve a lesser result.For instance: A PC fighter is battling an orc in a tavern, and wants to use his free hand to grab up a pint of ale and throw it in the orc's face. He chooses to take a -4 penalty to his next attack in order to do so. If he rolls 17 or higher on the dice (assuming it's enough to hit his opponent with the -4 penalty), then rolls a confirmation roll that hits the orc, he succeeds in blinding the orc for one round. If his confirmation roll fails, the orc is only mildly affected, taking a -2 penalty to attack rolls for one round.</blockquote>
