Abilities
Deny Advantage — A Graylok ambusher isn't Off-Guard to Hidden, undetected, or flanking creatures of 8th level or lower or creatures of 8th level or lower using sneak attack. However, such creatures can still help other creatures flank.
Opportune Backstab —
Brutal Beating — When the Graylok ambusher scores a critical hit with a melee Strike, the target is Frightened 1.
Dread Striker — Any creature that has the Frightened condition is Off-Guard against the Graylok ambusher's attacks.
Ice Stride — A frost giant isn't impeded by difficult terrain caused by snow or ice, nor do they need to attempt Acrobatics checks to keep from falling on slippery ice.
Light Step — When the Graylok ambusher Strides or Steps, they ignore difficult terrain.
Sneak Attack — The Graylok ambusher deals an additional 2d6 precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDA frontline bruiser holds primary aggro while the ambusher slips around to backstab whoever the tank isn't already engaging.
WeaverLANDA caster inflicting fear compounds the ambusher's own frighten-based Off-Guard trigger, stacking penalties on the same target.
SnareLANDA controller that isolates a straggler sets up an easy opening for the ambusher's backstab.
PUNISHES
✖ isolated targets✖ fear-vulnerable parties✖ overextension
