Detailed Information
Gouge is a brawling maneuver.
Gouge tends to be a moderately fatiguing maneuver. Attacking again too soon can make this worse.
Gouge tends to be balance building.
Gouge is a very quick maneuver, but heavy or unbalanced weapons can slow the attack further.
Gouge is more accurate than most maneuvers, and is best suited to puncture weapons and least suited to both slice and impact weapons.
Gouge temporarily penalizes all defenses, but is equally suited to evasion, parry, and shield defenses.
Notes
- See Roundtime for brawling minimum roundtimes.
- Gouge remains available while grappling, still at a 1 second minimum roundtime. See Roundtime for brawling minimum roundtimes while grappled.
