Sneak Attack

Time: Action† or Reaction† Target: self
Trigger: A creature uses Movement or starts an Ability
Requires: Evasive status
Test: Subtlety
Effect: #Sneaky

† While you are Evasive, this Ability does not require a Beat. (Your chosen Subtle Act's Beat cost will remain unchanged.)

Choose an Ability (or improvised act) to start now as your Subtle Act (also spending a Beat for that Ability, if it requires one.)

The chosen Subtle Act will have extra effects when it takes effect, as determined by your Subtlety Skill Score:

• [..6] Lose a Stack of Evasive. The nearest foe gains a stack of Alert.
• [7..9] :LiArrowUp:Ditto and :LiArrowDown:Ditto.
• [10..] Targets of your Subtle Act have a Disadvantage on Saves and take 1 extra Damage, if the Ability deals Damage.
  Bonuses
• Distant. If no foes are in True Shooting Distance(16u), you automatically get a High Score on the Subtlety Test.
• Quiet. If the chosen Subtle Act has the Quiet effect tag, you have an Advantage on the Subtlety Test.
• Silent. If the chosen Subtle Act has the Silent effect tag, you automatically Pass the Subtlety Test.
  Penalties
• Loud. If the chosen Subtle Act has the Loud effect tag, you have a Disadvantage on the Subtlety Test.
• Damaging. If the target takes Damage, they gain two stacks of Alert.

Your chosen Subtle Act will take effect according to its Ability Time:

• Action, Free Action, Reaction, or Free Reaction.
  • It takes effect now, before any triggering Ability's effects become active (but after the triggering Ability starts and its targets are chosen.)
• Slow Action.
  • It takes effect at the start of your next Turn.

Basic Ability or Fighter Upgrades:

• Opportune.
  • This Ability also does not require a Beat when used against a creature that is starting movement that will take them out of range of your Melee Attack. (This Upgrade does not affect the Beat cost of your chosen Subtle Act.)
