Cruel Cage Stance

Basic Martial Technique [Stance]

Prerequisites: Martial Rank 3

Disciplines: Stalker

Standard Action [REC 1]

Cost: 2 Resolve

Duration: 1 moment

Upkeep: Spend 2 Resolve and increase the duration by 1 moment.

Effect: Mastering the art of body language in combat, you know your opponent's move before they make it. While in this stance, you gain an opportunity anytime a creature adjacent to you moves away (i.e. moves to an area no longer adjacent to you). You gain this benefit even with movement types that would not normally grant you an opportunity, such as a shift, push or pull, provided the movement transports the target away from you.

Special: This stance ends immediately if you enter another stance or you are rendered Helpless.
