MARTIALARTSFEATSAND MANEUVERS

Martial Arts use a similar system as Force Powers and Starship Maneuvers. Each selection of a

specific Martial Arts feat gains you 1+Wisdom modifier Martial Arts maneuvers (minimum one) to

add to your Martial Arts suite. The same maneuver may be selected more then once. Some

Martial Arts Training feats are of limited availability, while others may require a character be of or

like a certain species. Teras Kasi is a secretive Martial Art, while only races built like Wookiees

can fully utilize Wrruushi.

MARTIALARTSMANEUVERS:

These moves may be taken by selecting the appropriate Martial Arts Training feat. A maneuver

may be taken multiple times, granting multiple uses of it in your Martial Arts suite. Martial Arts

maneuvers may be recovered in one of three ways. If you roll a natural 20 on an unarmed attack(but not any other attack roll) you regain all spent Martial Arts maneuvers. A Force Point may be

spent to return one Martial Arts maneuver to your Martial Arts suite. After spending one minute of

rest, all spent Martial Arts maneuvers are recovered.

This maneuver allows the character to incapacitate an opponent by choking them. Time: Full-

round action. Target: One opponent.

choking your opponent (see the rules for holding breath, SWSE Rulebook, page 66.)

This maneuver allows you to use your fists and feet to deflect incoming melee attacks. Time:Reaction. Target: One successful melee attack.

action. Target: One opponent.
