Ambush Scout
Level 2Attacks
Abilities
Trigger A creature within the monster's reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using. Effect The monster attempts a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike.
The scout's brutality shakes foes' confidence. When the scout deals damage on a critical hit, the target is Frightened 1, and the scout can knock the target up to 10 feet away (this is forced movement).
Requirements The scout has one hand free, and its target is within reach of that hand
The scout makes a melee Strike while keeping one hand free. If this Strike hits, the target is Off-Guard until the start of the scout's next turn or until it leaves the scout's reach, whichever comes first.
The ruffian deals an extra 1d6 precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.
Description
Using their strength to bully others into submission, ruffians often work as bodyguards and enforcers for powerful criminals like charlatans and fences.
Some criminals are the desperate who have no option but to break the law to survive, while others choose a life of crime for thrills, forming gangs or underworld guilds that specialize in certain illegal ventures.
