"Boss ,you don't understand. Fighting that guy was like fighting each other.."
Your martial arts prowess is such that you have the learned the secret of redirecting
the energy of attacks. back upon the attackers or onto their friends. In hand
to hand combat you have the uncanny ability to take one attack and turn it against
the attackers.
System: You have the ability to throw attackers and to direct the energy
of one attacker into another one. You are at no Multiple action penalties to
do this and may default to this option at any time with a successful Wits+ Martial
Arts roll. The Daredevil must be standing and have both of his hands unencumbered
in order to use this knack. Redirected attacks use the Daredevil's strength
not the attacker's.
Example: Shinji is attacked by White Eyebrow's Goons. on the first turn,
One of his beefy mooks rushes directly at Shinji. Shinji elects to throw the
beefy mook, Instead of having to grab him and then throw him as a multiple action
on his turn, Shinji makes a Wits+Martial arts throw and defaults to the Throw.
The Angry Mook who had beaten Shinji on initiative goes sailing through the
air.
On the next turn, Shinji has two slower mooks to deal with. One tries to slash
him with his knife. With a standard Dex+Martial Arts roll, He catches the wrist
of his attacker and twists him into his compatriot.
Prerequisite: The Daredevil must have have a Wits and Martial Art score
of 3 or better in order to have this knack.
