Description

Your quick reflexes allow you to quickly stand up when attacked.

Mechanics

The Combat Mobility maneuver works automatically when you are attacked. If you are not in a standing position, you will automatically attempt to stand up before your opponent can attack you. Combat Mobility will not activate if you are stunned, webbed, bound, or otherwise immobilized. However, it will activate if you are free of these hindrances, even if you are in roundtime. This maneuver costs no stamina to activate.

Additional Information

This maneuver only guarantees an attempt to stand up, not the actual standing result. Failure to stand could be due to injuries, encumbrance, armor (under)training, etc.

Combat Mobility can be toggled off and on by using CMAN MOBILITY OFF/ON.

Messaging
