#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

==Protection==
There are several attributes which can mitigate damage from creature maneuvers:

;Training
*[[Physical Fitness]] - Physical Fitness is the primary skill for defense against standard creature maneuvers.
*[[Combat Maneuvers]] - Combat Maneuvers is twice as effective as perception in defensive and operates on a sliding scale until they are equal in offensive.
*[[Perception]]
*[[Shield Use]] - Shield Use factors into creature maneuvers that can be blocked by a shield.
