<h2>22 GAME RULES</h2>
<h3>Hinder</h3>
<p>You force an opponent into a disadvantageous position. This may represent a variety of actions: a feint, a diversion, or even a stinging remark.</p>
<p>Once you have described your approach, you perform a Check against your target, with a fixed Difficulty Level of 10 — the Game Master will determine the relevant Attributes based on your description.</p>
<p><strong>Example:</strong> Princess Camilla has challenged the Death Knight Brandon to a duel. She circles the imposing warrior and attempts to put the light of the sun behind her, hoping to dazzle him — the Game Master calls for a <code>DEX + INS</code> Check.</p>
<ul>
<li>If your Check succeeds, you inflict one of the following status effects upon the loser: dazed, shaken, slow, or weak. Your choice.</li>
</ul>
<p>For more information on status effects, see page 94.</p>
<p>Back to the example above: Camilla gets a critical success and decides to inflict slow on the Death Knight. She also generated an opportunity — which she immediately spends to send Brandon's sword flying from his hand.</p>
<h3>Inventory</h3>
<p>You produce an item from your inventory and immediately use that item as part of the same action: you might give a potion to one of your allies or slip them a refreshing balm during a tense negotiation, for instance.</p>
<ul>
<li>If the item you want to use requires you to be close to the target and something or someone bars your way, the Game Master may ask for a Check.</li>
<li>If you use an item whose effects include a free attack against one or more targets, you perform this free attack as part of the Inventory action.</li>
</ul>
<p>The rules for Inventory Points are explained on page 104.</p>
<p>Note that you can perform this action even if you have items equipped in both hands.</p>
