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 potential 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. However, the RT by feint against the target can be stacked by using multiple feints back-to-back. 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.
