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. - - : Trading Damage for Effect -::: -::: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #### Retrying a Task after Failure [#](#rules-retrying-a-task-after-failure){.og-h-anchor aria-hidden="true"} {#rules-retrying-a-task-after-failure} @@ -77870,7 +77841,6 @@ - [Showdown](#weird-west-showdown-optional-rule) [(HNAM, 59)]{.og-ref} - [Starvation](#starvation) [(RR, 63)]{.og-ref} - [Survival](#weird-west-curses) [(HNAM, 62)]{.og-ref} -- [Trading Damage for Effect](#optional-rule-trading-damage-for-effect) [(OG-CSRD)]{.og-ref .og-ref-og} - [Ultimate Damage](#optional-rule-ultimate-damage) [(OG-CSRD)]{.og-ref .og-ref-og} - [Using Other Pools to Pay Cost Remainders](#optional-rule-using-other-pools-to-pay-cost-remainders) [(OG-CSRD)]{.og-ref .og-ref-og}
