2008 press

[GM-Mike]

There is no physical contact allowed in combat but at times you will need to get someone out of your way. This is simulated by doing a Press maneuver. Those whose racial boons and/or disciplines allow may make or defend against one Press per life point spent. If a character is granted a Press maneuver from more than one source (i.e. one from a racial boon and one from a discipline skill) they may perform two consecutive Presses per life point but still may only resist one Press per life point. To deliver a Press, hit any part of the target's body, weapon, or shield with your weapon and call "Press." The character you are pressing can counter your Press by using his or her Press skill. If a person chooses not to or is unable to counter then they must take two or more steps in the direction you designate and let you pass. They cannot jump back in front of you before you pass.
