Ambush

You can launch devastating attacks while hidden. Normally when you attack while hidden, you are automatically revealed and remove the other decoy, and replace the attacking decoy with your character. The target may use a guard to roll sense, and if successful use a defense against your surprise attack. If the target doesn't make the attempt or fails then no other contest against the attack is possible and the target is automatically down. Note that you may use your own guard or defense to contest the sense check with your subterfuge as usual.

• Ambush: If your surprise attack misses you remain hidden. You gain the Finishing Strike stunt.

  • Killer Instinct: Your surprise attacks deal an extra +3dE.
  • Patient Shot: If you prepare a surprise attack you may choose the result of effects rather than rolling.
