Combat Options

A user with the prerequisite Exotic Weapon Proficiency may use the Kriegsmesser to use a pair of combat maneuvers at their behest. A Only a single maneuver may be used at any given moment.

Krumphau: By feinting, the user is granted a single attack at their highest Base Attack Bonus, in their turn. This attack provokes an attack of opportunity from their target.

Defensive Stance: The user gains a +2 Shield bonus to their AC as long as they remain in this stance. Doing any actions (besides attacking or taking a 5ft step) will knock the user out of this stance. Should the user attack, they will lose their shield bonus immediately during their attack roll. A user may Krumphau while in a defensive stance.
