SURPRISE ATTACK
AUTOMATIC SKILL
REQUIREMENTS
- To use this Special Skill, Troopers must be in Marker form (for example, Camouflaged, Impersonation, Decoy, Holoecho...) or in Hidden Deployment at the start of the Order in which they are activated.
- The user must declare a CC Attack, BS Attack, or Comms Attack.
- The user of this Special Skill must be in their Active Turn.
EFFECTS
- This Attack imposes an additional negative MOD, as shown in round brackets in the Unit Profile [Surprise Attack (-3), Surprise Attack (-6)...]. This MOD only applies to targets of the Attack and applies to any Skill Roll that those targets perform in ARO.
- If a specific Attribute is listed between brackets in the Unit Profile, such as Surprise Attack (CC-6), the negative MOD only applies to that Attribute of the targets of the Attack. This MOD is not cumulative with other MODs imposed by Surprise Attack, for example if the Trooper has both Surprise Attack (-3) and Surprise Attack (CC-6).
- Restriction: This Skill cannot be used again until the Trooper returns to Marker form.
