Warrior tricks are a collection of miscellaneous skills, largely flashy weapon play to impress your comrades and foes alike. Some, like FEINT, are more mechanically useful than others, say SPIT or GUZZLE.

Tricks

Weapon Flip

You toss your vultite battlesword in the air, sending it into a spiraling blur. At the perfect moment, you reach out and snatch it competently by the handle.

Tasks for this trick include audience reps, raking the yard, and polishing armor.

Guzzle

You tip your head back and empty your crystal clear water down your gullet! You discard your vessel of drink and wipe off your mouth.

Tasks for this trick include audience reps, raking the yard, and polishing armor.

Twirl and Sheath

You deftly twirl your vultite battlesword around your finger and stuff it in your storm grey scabbard.

Tasks for this trick include audience reps, raking the yard, polishing armor, and scrubbing floors.

Weapon Hop

You spin the vultite battlesword over your head, leap into the air and tuck your legs beneath you as you swing the battlesword where your legs were just an instant ago.

Tasks for this trick include audience reps, raking the yard, polishing armor, and scrubbing floors.

Spin

You spin the quarter staff around your right forearm, then pass it to your left without grasping it or stopping the spin, then pass it back to your right arm. You spin it once more until you grasp the staff by its handle.

Tasks for this trick include audience reps, raking the yard, polishing armor, and scrubbing floors.

Appraise

Skeyelar appears to be of hardy constitution and is in relatively good shape.
Skeyelar could probably wipe the floor with you.

Tasks for this trick include audience reps, raking the yard, polishing armor, and scrubbing floors.

Balance

**Balance Difficulty**
Location	Modifier
PALM	-0
FINGER	-10
FOOT	-50
CHIN	-85
NOSE	-120

[Total modified roll: 140]
You stand a quarter staff on your finger and begin to balance it skillfully.
Your quarter staff wobbles slightly on your finger, but you shift to compensate.
You stop balancing a quarter staff on your finger.

BALANCE is the first of the tricks that you can fine-tune. The proper usage for this trick is WTRICK BALANCE <location>, whereas each location has a different difficulty modifier. It's quite easy to balance a weapon on your palm, but much more difficult to use, say, your nose. Success is determined by one's ranks in WTRICKs, and may also take into account wounds, and stance.

Tasks for this trick include audience reps, raking the yard, polishing armor, and scrubbing floors.

Spit

**Spit Difficulty**
Location	Modifier
SHIRT	-0 difficulty
FEET	-10
LEFT/RIGHT FOOT	-30
LEFT/RIGHT HAND	-50 to -75 (held objects)
FACE	-80
LEFT/RIGHT EYE	-130

[Total modified roll = 111]
You dredge the back of your throat for some meaty phlegm and bring a gob to the tip of your tongue. You expertly shape the gob into a perfect missile and fire it at your intended victim!
The sticky missile hits a wind witch's robes!

SPIT is another targeted trick, and with it, you can specifiy both the target, and the location on the target you would like to SPIT on. Smaller targets are harder to hit, and so difficulty modifiers are assessed accordingly. SPIT is the first trick for which you will need to do creature reps. Failure to SPIT successfully results in about 30 seconds where you cannot spit due to your mouth being too dry.

Tasks for this trick include audience reps, creature reps, raking the yard, polishing armor, and scrubbing floors.

Juggle

[Total modified roll = 122]
You gather up a quarter staff and a dagger in your hands. One by one, you toss them in the air, where they flip end over end until all of the weapons are airborne. You catch each one as they fall and send it back in the air, creating a dazzling aerobatic display.

When using Juggle the number of weapons you would like to attempt to juggle is specified, and more weapons is correspondingly harder to pull off.

Tasks for this trick include audience reps, spit creature reps, raking the yard, polishing armor, and scrubbing floors.

Feint

[Roll result: -3102 (open d100: 93) Penalties: 22]
You attempt to feint low, but fail miserably, leaving yourself vulnerable and off-balance. Roundtime: 5 sec.
