	Combat Maneuvers boosts physical [[attack strength]] (AS) by +1 for every 2 ranks of training. This bonus does not apply to attack spells which generate AS through the [[Spell Aiming]] skill.		Combat Maneuvers boosts physical [[attack strength]] (AS) by +1 for every 2 ranks of training. This bonus does not apply to attack spells which generate AS through the [[Spell Aiming]] skill.

	Combat Maneuvers is the primary skill for [[SMR\|SMRv2]] offense with physical maneuvers, including [[Weapon Technique]]s, [[Shield Specializations]], [[guild skill]]s and the maneuvers below. It ~~also~~ ~~provides~~ ~~SMRv2~~ ~~defense~~ ~~against~~ ~~all~~ ~~maneuvers. Training in a particular~~ maneuver ~~also~~ ~~helps~~ ~~defend~~ ~~against~~ ~~that~~ ~~maneuver~~, ~~which~~ is ~~why~~ ~~many~~ ~~[[pure]]s~~ ~~will~~ ~~pick up Disarm Weapon to prevent them from losing their [[Runestaff\|runestaves]] or other defensive~~ ~~weapon~~.		Combat Maneuvers is the primary skill for [[SMR\|SMRv2]] offense with physical maneuvers, including [[Weapon Technique]]s, [[Shield Specializations]], [[guild skill]]s and the maneuvers below. 1x is the baseline expected training for effective maneuver use. Further training provides diminishing returns, with 2x providing a 15% increase in effectiveness.

			Combat Maneuvers also provides SMRv2 defense against all maneuvers. Training in a particular maneuver also helps defend against that maneuver, which is why many [[pure]]s will pick up Disarm Weapon to prevent them from losing their [[Runestaff\|runestaves]] or other defensive weapon.

	The skills below can be trained in using CMAN points. A character earns 1 CMAN point for every rank they train in Combat Maneuvers, so a character with 150 ranks of Combat Maneuvers will have 150 CMAN points. Typically, it takes 20 or 30 CMAN points for a [[square]] to master a skill, but there are some exceptions. [[Enhancives]] do not provide CMAN points. As of August 2020, character level no longer limits how many points may be spent on a single skill. As of the 2021 [[PSM3]] update, skills costs are the same regardless of [[profession]] choice and no longer increase for [[semi]]s and [[pure]]s.<section end=introduction />		The skills below can be trained in using CMAN points.
