    • 0*: Moving toward an enemy triggers 'Lunge', which attacks the enemy and does extra damage.

    • 2*: Moving against solid obstacles triggers a two-turn Wall Jump, moving two tiles in the opposite direction and attacking any adjacent enemies.
    • This ability can also be triggered via an (a)bility, and the movement-based mode can be disabled using `wall_jump_move = false` in your rc file for more careful play.
    • 3*: Active 'Serpent's Lash' ability, granting two free movement actions, of which any martial actions will never miss.
