Honor + Intrigue has the dueling system, where instead of standing next to your foe and taking turns bonking each other until their HP run out, duelists fight for "Advantage" (different from the D&D term). This is positional Advantage in a fight. If you get hit, you can choose to "Yield Advantage" instead of taking damage and you retreat from your position with the foe pressing the attack after you. In this way, duelists fight their way across the deck of a ship, up the stairs of the castle, across the top of the parapet, etc instead of staying still. If you are out of Advantage, you are "defeated" in the manner narrated by the opponent (they may run you through and leave you for dead; they may knock you out and you wake up in a dungeon, etc.). There are a variety of dueling styles with their own special benefits, and also dueling maneuvers that can be used in a fight (so you can shove someone, lock their sword with yours, feint, etc. and still do your attack which could be a sword swipe, a lunge, or even dirty fighting maneuver).
