Ambush Troops
Prerequisites expert in
Stealth
You’ve trained your troop in several techniques that allows your group to remain stealthy despite your numbers. Any time you and your troop need to attempt a Stealth check, you roll only once and use the higher Stealth modifier. This benefit applies when you explore with your troop—such as when using the
Avoid Notice exploration activity—not only in a skirmish encounter.
In addition, you let your troop take full advantage of creatures that are
off-guard to them, even though most troops can’t coordinate their attacks precisely enough to do so. Creatures that are off-guard to your troop take a –2 circumstance penalty to saving throws and save DCs against your troop’s offensive abilities.
