Form II: Makashi

An elegant and stylised form of lightsaber combat, Makashi does not so much concentrate on strength but on finesse and skill. It needs wits and a quick mind. Makashi includes many thrusts, ruses, and fast attacks, not so much cutting. It is very efficient against other lightsabers and therefore a wielder of this form receives +1D to attack and parry-rolls against other lightsabers. However due to the concentration in melee-combat it lacks in the ability of ranged defense. Therefore a Jedi using Form II receives –1D to attempts of blocking or redirecting ranged attacks.

Requirements: Dexterity 3D

Action	Difficulty	Effect
Quick thrust	+5	The attacker moves quickly forward with the lightsaber, which is difficult to parry. Any attempt to do so is done with a –1D penalty. However due to the quickness of the thrust it deals –1D damage.
Ruse	+10	The wielder makes the defender think he is attacking and therefore misguides his parry, opening him for a real attack. The parry roll of the defender is reduced by 2D for the next attack of the Jedi.
Heavy Thrust	+5	Attacker moves a minimum of 1 and a maximum of five metres and thrusts the blade into the defender, dealing +1D damage
Disarm/Dismember	+10	The attacker strikes either the weapon hand, or a limb, to disarm or immobilize the defender. Add +1D damage, armor does only apply if that body parts contain armor.
