high-Agility Skills

Skills that are Agility-High are ones that are affected by the larger of the two Fleetness Skill roll modifiers. These Skills involve quick and precise full-body movement, and tend to have the Agility Attribute heavily present in their APT Block, e.g. with weight 3/7, 4/7 or even 5/7. Examples are Dodge, Acrobatics, Jumping, and the various unarmed combat skills (Brawling, Judo, Karate and Wrestling). The Agility Attribute itself also takes the greater Fleetness modifier, as do Balance rolls.

Note that for very normal Fleetness values, of 3 or close to 3, the greater modifier is zero.

AV

Bank

Bash

Blood

Blow

The term Blow was originally used in Sagatafl to define the number of attacks per weapon or other held item (shield, e.g.) that a character can make per Round, but this is no longer used. See AP for information.

CFP

Critical Strike

Effect Strike

A hypothetical combat action, that works like Critical Strike, but instead of intending to cause a griveous general Wound, the attacker wants to achieve a specific effect, usually some form of abstract leg injury to reduce the target's mobility, or some kind of abstractr arm injury to impair the target's ability to use weapons.

This is a hypothetical game element, and if implemented will be there to compensate for the fact that Sagatafl does not use hit locations and specific injury effects.
