Here is a list of the working battle moves available for usage on Fate of the Warriors.

TECHNIQUE	DESCRIPTION	RANK ELIGIBLE	DAMAGE IN HP PER RANK	SPECIAL EFFECT
Play Blows	Batter your opponent with a barrage of soft blows. Clanmates often engage in friendly sparring with this move.	Kit.	1 + Battle Dice.	Not Available.
Pounce	Rear up and launch yourself onto your opponent's back. Traditionally a tactic used during play, but can be used to get leverage over a serious opponent.	Kit.	K: 3 HP A: 6 HP NW: 10 HP YW: 12 HP W: 14 HP SW: 16 HP L: 18 HP	Not Available.
Tail Tug	Grip your opponent by the tail and give a mighty yank!	Kit.	K: 1 HP A: 2 HP NW: 3 HP YW: 4 HP W: 5 HP SW: 6 HP L: 7 HP	Stuns opponent for ONE TURN.
Belly Rake	Get below your opponent and lash out at their vulnerable underbelly.	Apprentice.	A: 6 HP NW: 8 HP YW: 10 HP W: 12 HP SW: 14 HP L: 16 HP	Not Available.
Claws & Teeth	Attack with the dangerous tools StarClan gave you.	Apprentice.	4 + Battle Dice.	Not Available.
Face Strike	Rear up and lash out at your opponents undefended face.	Apprentice.	A: 6 HP NW: 8 HP YW: 10 HP W: 12 HP SW: 14 HP L: 16 HP	Not Available.
Escape	Disengage your opponent and flee the battle.	Apprentice.	A: 2 HP NW: 3 HP YW: 4 HP W: 5 HP SW: 6 HP L: 7 HP	Roll the Battle Dice: an odd number results in a failed attempt to flee, an even number results in a successful flee. Damage is inflicted regardless of success.
Jaw Kick	Kick out at your opponent's face with your powerful hindlegs.	Newly-Appointed Warrior.	NW: 8 HP YW: 10 HP W: 12 HP SW: 14 HP L: 16 HP	Not Available.
Grapple	A risky attempt to physically overcome and pin your opponent.	Newly-Appointed Warrior.	2 + Battle Dice & Damage is in effect for every successful turn.	To use the move 'Grapple', roll the Battle Dice. A successful 'Grapple' roll lasts for three turns (during these three posts, your opponent will be unable to use 'Claws & Teeth'), but in order to determine the success of the move your opponent will need to roll the Battle Dice as well. If your opponent rolls a lower number than your original roll, then the move will proceed as intended. If your opponent rolls a higher number than your original roll, the situation is now flipped and you are the one pinned for three turns.
Quick Strike	Overwhelm your opponent with a series of quick strikes.	Newly-Appointed Warrior.	NW: 8 HP YW: 10 HP W: 12 HP SW: 14 HP L: 16 HP	Not Available.
Rogue Tactics	They say all's fair in love and war, but these techniques are discredited by the warrior code. What's more important to you? Honor or power?	Young Warrior.	8 + Battle Dice	Considered a highly dishonorable tactic- unless used in dire circumstances, anticipate punishment if caught using this move.
Drop Kick	Knock your opponent's legs out from under them, and let them go sprawling.	Young Warrior.	YW: 9 HP W: 11 HP SW: 13 HP L: 15 HP	Not Available.
Disorienting Strike	Roughly box your opponent's ears, leaving them dazed and confused.	Warrior.	W: 10 HP SW: 12 HP L: 14 HP	Not Available.
Tackle	Rush at your opponent with all of your speed and strength.	Warrior.	W: 11 HP SW: 13 HP L: 15 HP	Not Available.
Feint	Trick your opponent into believing you are backing away before exploding forward in a vicious attack.	Senior Warrior.	SW: 15 HP L: 17 HP	Not Available.
Upright Crush	Rear upwards and bring your weight crashing down against your opponent's shoulders, knocking them down and pinning them.	Senior Warrior.	SW: 17 HP L: 19 HP	Roll the Battle Dice: Odd numbers results in your opponent being pinned for one turn. Even numbers results in your opponent being pinned for two turns.
Quick Revival	Call upon your awaiting ancestors to heal your wounds and restore you to fighting capability.	Leader.	L: 5 HP	Leaders can use 'Quick Revival' to return to 60 HP, at the cost of a life. This move can only be used ONCE during a battle.

Medicine Cats can play a vital sideline role for your wounded clanmates.

TECHNIQUE	DESCRPITION	RANK ELIGIBLE	DAMAGE IN HP	SPECIAL EFFECT
Lightning Heart	Summon your resolve and fight even more voraciously than before.	ThunderClan Warrior	6 + Battle Die	Advanced form of Claws & Teeth. Can only be used when HP falls below 1/3.

Swift Strike	Use superior speed and agility to hit your foe again before they can strike back.	WindClan Warrior	2 + Battle Die	Advanced form of Play Blows. Strike twice in one turn. Can be used anywhere, but can't be used in succession.
Ruthless Training	Your dark reputation precedes you, and no one is surprised by your Clan's frightful violence.	ShadowClan Warrior	5 + Battle Die	Advanced form of Rogue Tactics. Less powerful, but can be used anywhere and without penalty.
Cloud Jump	Quickly scale the high ground and then strike the foe from above.	SkyClan Warrior	5 + Battle Die	Advanced 2-round form of Escape. Can be used anywhere. Roll 5 + Battle Die for the 1st round of your move. If your foe lands a higher Grapple roll in the next turn, then the effect of Cloud Jump is canceled. If Cloud Jump is successful, roll 5 + Battle Die again for the 2nd part of your move. This is your damage output. You may target any eligible foe for this 2nd round.

Other Rules:
1. In a situation where you are facing multiple foes (e.g. 2v1), you can respond to each attack that lands on you. For example, if you are hit twice in one turn by two different cats, you can retaliate separately against both cats during your turn.
2. You cannot initiate combat with a new foe until you are disengaged from your current opponent.
