# Feint `pf2:1` ### [[mental]][[skill]] **Category** offensive; **Requirements** You are within melee reach of the target you attempt to Feint. * * * With a misleading flourish, you leave an opponent unprepared for your real attack. Attempt a [[/act feint]]{Deception} check against your target's Perception DC. * * * **Critical Success** You throw your enemy's defenses against you entirely off. The target is [[Conditions/Off-Guard|Off-Guard]] against melee attacks that you attempt against it until the end of your next turn. **Success** Your foe is fooled, but only momentarily. The target is off-guard against the next melee attack that you attempt against it before the end of your current turn. **Critical Failure** Your feint backfires. You are off-guard against melee attacks the target attempts against you until the end of your next turn. *Source: Pathfinder Player Core* *ORC*
