 +===== Attack Actions =====
  
-== Presence (PRE) == +When making a physical attack during a Conflict, the Actor may bid any Attribute from the //Body Aspect// (STR, AGI, or FIT).  For example, a Longsword may be designed to Slash(FIT), but can also be used to Pierce(AGI) with a thrust, or Crush(STR) as with a pommel strike. This variability is built into the Core Rules to allow [[start#table_culture_rules|Bluff Space]]. 
-Presence measures the Actor's charisma, force of personality, their leadership ability and determines how willing others are to be influenced by them. Presence can take many forms, but whether an Actor is a successful charlatan, a famous performer, a terrifying ogre, or a beloved king, this trait is immediately recognizable to all who witness it. It is associated with the Action Card tags **Interpersonal, Command, Perform, Deceive/Bluff**+
  
-== Intuition (INT) == +The [[extensions:things:weapons|Weapons Extension]] introduces Primary Attributes and tradeoffs when bidding different Attributes if that level of detail is desired. 
-Intuition is a measure of how accurately the Actor guesses things correctly, feels the right answer without knowing why, or avoids acting foolish. It also determines how aware an Actor is of their circumstances, their ability to notice things that aren't obvious, spot someone hiding nearby, etc. It is associated with the Action Card tags **Notice, Read Motives, Instinct, Sense Danger**+
  
 +Mind and Spirit attacks work in the same way: the Action Tag is a guideline as to what Attribute must be bid, but the way a Player chooses to describe their Action while role playing is intentionally allowed to be able to be misleading so as to create Bluff Space at the table.

 +==== Mind or Spirit Attack Bluff Space Example ====
 +**Player @ Conflict Step 2.3 (State Intent)** -- "As quickly as I can I try and convince him [opponent] of the error of his ways." This signals other players that he will probably bid Mind or Spirit Aspect. Mind would encompass bidding Reason, using his Knowledge of the opponent's history to convince him, or Quickness to fast-talk him. But perhaps he is instead trying to dominate him (Willpower), or persuade him (Presence), or just guess what words he could say that might move his opponent (Intuition). 
 +
 +**Player @ Conflict Step 2.5 (Aspect Reveal)**-- reveals the Spirit Aspect card
 +
 +**Player @ Conflict Step 3.3 (Attribute Reveal)** -- turns the Presence Attribute card face up.
 +
 +**Player @ Conflict Step 3.4 (Justification)** -- "I appeal to his sense of right and wrong to **//persuade//** him that there is a non-violent way to resolve this."
