When using feint, a character makes a motion to attack against an opponent without following through, attempting to get their opponent to account for a potentual attack that never comes, typically leaving themselves open and off-balance for a subsequent attack. Feint effectively changes the defender's stance closer to offensive, and puts them in a small amount of roundtime, should they fail the maneuver check, thus reducing their ability to defend against an attack. A weapon is normally required to attempt a feint, but a character that is a mastered in the skill can attempt to feint without a weapon.
Warriors have access to feint through the Warrior Guild skill, Warrior Tricks. It is obtained at rank 10 and increased training in Warrior Tricks increases the effectiveness of feint.
