Trigger The attack roll for a Strike targeting the assassin fails or critically fails

Effect The assassin deftly steps out of the way of the attack. If there's another creature adjacent to the assassin and within reach of the triggering attack, the assassin redirects the attack to that adjacent creature. The attacker then rerolls the Strike's attack roll against the new target.

Point Blank One Action (flourish)

The master assassin makes a crossbow Strike against an adjacent enemy; unlike most ranged Strikes, this Strike doesn't provoke reactions. If successful, the attack deals an additional 4d8 precision damage.

Running Reload One Action

The master assassin Strides, Steps, or Sneaks, then Interacts to reload her crossbow.

Sneak Attack

The master assassin deals an additional 3d6 precision damage to flat-footed creatures.

Study Target Three Actions

Vorpal Garrote Three Actions (death, incapacitation)

Requirements The master assassin used Study Target during the previous round and must have a garrote bolt

Effect The master assassin makes a crossbow Strike against the target she previously studied. If she rolls a success on her attack roll, she gets a critical success instead. The target must attempt a DC 36 fortitude save.

Success No additional effect.

Failure The target takes an additional 3d12 precision damage.

Critical Failure The target is decapitated and instantly dies unless it doesn't require a head to live.
