| • **Bite:** A bite maneuver is a “combat” bite, intended to cause damage. Bite damage is lethal. To use a bite attack, the character must first perform a successful clinch, hold, or tackle maneuver (see below). On the turn following the successful attack, the player may declare the bite attempt and make a roll using the modifiers below. | • **Bite:** A bite maneuver is a “combat” bite, intended to cause damage.

| • **Clinch:** On a successful attack roll, the attacker goes into a clinch with the target. In the first turn, the attacker may roll [[physical_attributes|Strength]] damage. In each subsequent turn, combatants act on their orders in the initiative. A combatant can inflict [[physical_attributes|Strength]] damage automatically or attempt to escape the clinch. No other actions are allowed until one combatant breaks free. To escape a clinch, make a resisted [[physical_attributes|Strength]] + [[Brawl]] roll against the opponent. If the escaping character has more successes, she breaks free; if not, the characters continue to grapple in the next turn. | • **Clinch:** On a successful attack roll, the attacker goes into a clinch with the target.

| • **Disarm:** To strike an opponent’s weapon, the attacker must make an attack roll at +1 difficulty. If successful, the attacker rolls damage normally. If successes rolled exceed the opponent’s [[physical_attributes|Strength]] rating, the opponent takes no damage but is disarmed. A botch usually means the attacker drops her own weapon or is struck by her target’s weapon. | • **Disarm:** To strike an opponent’s weapon, the attacker must make an attack roll at +1 difficulty.

| • **Hold:** This attack inflicts no damage, as the intent is to immobilize rather than injure the subject. On a successful roll, the attacker holds the target until the subject’s next action.
