 As with minor effects, usually the GM just has the desired major effect occur, but sometimes the GM might require an
 extra roll if the major effect is unusual or unlikely.

-A PC can trade [damage](#rules-damage) inflicted from a single attack for an effect. When trading damage, consult the
-following table, and add target's level. For example, a \"called shot\"---striking a specific body part of a [level 4
-creature](#understanding-the-listings)---requires a trade of 6 points of damage (2 for the effect, plus 4 for the
-creature's level). The attack must inflict at least 1 damage after making the trade or the effect doesn\'t take hold.

-  1                           **Distract:** For one round, all of the foe's tasks are hindered.
-  2                           **Strike a specific body part:** The attacker strikes a specific spot on the defender's body. The GM rules what special effect, if any, results. For example, hitting a creature\'s tentacle that is wrapped around an ally might make it easier for the ally to escape. Hitting a foe in the eye might blind it for one round. Hitting a creature in its one vulnerable spot might ignore [Armor](#rules-armor).
-  3                           **Knock back:** The foe is knocked or forced back a few feet. Most of the time, this doesn't matter much, but if the fight takes place on a ledge or next to a pit of lava, the effect can be significant.
-  3                           **Move past:** The character can move a short distance at the end of the attack. This effect is useful to get past a foe guarding a door, for example.
-  3                           **Damage object:** Instead of striking the foe, the attack strikes what the foe is holding. If the attack hits, the character makes a Might roll with a difficulty equal to the object's level. On a success, the object moves one or more steps down the [object damage track](#special-situation-attacking-objects).
-  4                           **Knock down:** The foe is knocked prone. It can get up on its turn.
-  7                           **Disarm:** The foe drops one object that it is holding.
-  7                           **Impair:** For the rest of the combat, all tasks the foe attempts are hindered.
-  8                           **Stun:** The foe loses its next action.
