Hey guys,
So I have a trollbow that specializes in stealth and toxins. He's prefers a chameleon suit. Surprise question: Basic combat style... 1. Infiltrate somewhere 2. Ready arrow 3. Aim w/ 1st simple 4. Fire How does my target defend against that? Is that attack treated as a surprise attack? What about the next shot? Does my target need to locate me before he isn't surprised? Does the surprise attack only count on the first shot? Darkness: How would someone defend against me in the dark? The visibility rules seem to only apply to attackers. Is there some kind of penalty on defense in total darkness? Does it matter if you know you're being attacked, but you don't know where it's coming from? Spirits and toxins: Can I hit a manifested spirit with a Gamma Scopolamine arrow and knock them out or do they have innate immunity to toxins? Usually, immunity to anything is a listed power (Devil rats). So...do toxins work on spirits? |
