combat uses:

Epic:

* Overtures = reduce a foe's initiative
 
== Disguise ==
Note: define a use that allows you to deceive about your gear, not your identity.  IE, pretend you're wearing armor when you're not, or even worse, make it look like you're not wearing armor when you really are.
 
Also, disguise a sword as a wand, or a staff, etc.
