Raw Blame History

Heres the Stealth (Agility) tree—designed for infiltration, ambushes, and battlefield repositioning. It also has synergy with Dodge, Archery, and Survival. Stealth (Agility) Tier 1 (Stealth 1+) • Silent Step Mark a die as Effectful; on success, you make no noise regardless of terrain. • Predators Patience Mark a die as Persistent when hidden; you may hold this die until you act, even across scenes, if undetected. • Shadow Veil (Stealth/Dodge) Mark a die as Lucky on any Dodge roll while in cover or darkness. Tier 2 (Stealth 2+) • Vanish Mark a die as Risky; if successful, you disappear mid-combat by breaking line of sight and reposition up to 5m. • Tactical Setup (Stealth/Tactics) If you begin combat undetected, allies gain +1 die to Initiative and first-round actions. • Poisoned Kiss (Stealth/Alchemy) Attacks from stealth may apply poisons or toxins without an extra roll. Tier 3 (Stealth 3+) • Assassins Strike (Stealth/Melee) Attacks from stealth deal +2 Injury if you roll at least one Powerful die. • Chameleon Mark a die as Persistent when blending into crowds or environments; you remain unnoticed until you act. • Haunting Presence (Stealth/Intimidation) After a successful Vanish, enemies must roll Spirit; failure = 1 Slight (fear) as they lose sight of you. Tier 4 (Stealth 4+) • One With the Shadows While in concealment, you may act without revealing yourself unless you fail a roll. • Death From Nowhere (Stealth/Archery) Your first attack from stealth is automatically a Critical Hit (margin 3+ = Subdue). • Phantom Commander (Stealth/Tactics/Command) While hidden, you may direct allies remotely; each ally may reroll 1 die per turn if they can hear or see your signals. Why It Fits • Control: Ambushes, vanish tactics, and debuffs (fear) shape encounters. • Synergy: Pairs beautifully with Melee, Archery, Tactics, and Alchemy trees. • Escalation: Tier 4 abilities let stealth specialists become terrifying ghosts of the battlefield. 🔥 Next Exploration Skill: Do you want me to continue in order with Survival, or jump to a flashier option like Tracking (predator-hunter style)?
