Skill Maneuvers
Skill Maneuvers are special abilities that utilize a character's non-combat skills in combat situations. These maneuvers allow characters to apply their expertise in various skills to gain tactical advantages or provide utility during combat.
Skill Maneuvers are executed against a creature's Avoid Roll or as a Skill Challenge, depending on the specific maneuver. Their success is determined by the character's relevant skill proficiency.
