As noted under Shtick (p. B101), a “cool move” that pro-
vides no combat bonuses is a valid perk if it might occasion-
ally be useful. Styles with Combat Art skills often teach such
flourishes. An example is chiburi: flicking blood off a sword
blade. Such Shticks require a combat skill roll to perform.
Most either allow an Intimidation attempt as a free action
(chiburi works this way) or give the maximum +4 for “dis-
plays of strength” listed for Intimidation (p. B202) if you use
your entire next turn to make a deliberate attempt.
