#REDIRECT [[Standard maneuver roll]] |
|||
'''Creature maneuvers''' are offensive maneuvers that are only available to [[creature]]s, not available to player characters. These attacks do not show an open roll. |
|||
Such maneuvers include: |
|||
*the [[tail sweep]] of the [[cave lizard]], [[three-toed tegu]], and the [[snow madrinol]] |
|||
*a [[soul golem]]'s steam push |
|||
*an [[Illoke]]'s ground stomp |
|||
*an [[Ithzir adept]]'s lightning mote |
|||
*a [[war griffin]]'s ride of doom |
|||

'''Sidebox: Armor Penalty''' |
|||
"The armor penalty is a relatively significant factor. For a character exactly trained for full plate at cap, it contributes a penalty a little bit above the difference between 1x and 2x PF. Overtraining in armor to reduce the action penalty and/or using [[Armored Evasion]] can reduce the maneuver penalty by a fairly significant amount, however." |

*[[Physical Fitness]] - Physical Fitness is the primary skill for defense against standard creature maneuvers. |
|||
