Abilities
Attack of Opportunity —
Butterfly's Kiss — The warrior can make nonlethal Strikes with a butterfly sword without taking a penalty.
Mastermind's Eye — When the warrior successfully identifies a creature using Recall Knowledge, that creature is Off-Guard against their attacks until the start of its next turn; if they critically succeed, it's off-guard against their attacks for 1 minute.
Sneak Attack — The warrior's Strikes deal an additional 1d6 precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.
Studied Strike — The warrior makes a telegraphed attack to learn about their foe. They make a melee Strike. On a hit, they can immediately attempt a check to Recall Knowledge about the target. On a critical hit, they gain a +2 circumstance bonus to the check to Recall Knowledge. The target is then temporarily immune to Studied Strike for 1 day.
