Trick Question

Hi, everybody. I just picked up BASH: UE as a more kid-friendly (and limited free time adult-friendly) alternative to my group's BLOOD OF HEROES campaign.

One of the players likes to do that old comic book routine of jumping out from between two minions and tricking them into shooting one another. In BOH this would be done with a combat maneuver called a Dupe. Is there anything similar in BASH?

Thanks for any guidance you can give.

Officially, there is no such thing as this in UE (the Original Edition had some mention of it).

However, here is an easy combat option to drop into your game (and something I intend to put in a future BAM! issue). It is essentially an inverted "Called Shot".

Bait: You can bait an enemy to attack you. Your opponent gets +10 Result Bonus to hit you. If they miss, some consequence befalls them: perhaps their fist smashes into the wall behind you, maybe they hit another minion, etc.
