Abilities

Knife Jab — Creatures hit by Kiru's dagger Strike must succeed at a DC 20 Fortitude save or become Clumsy 1 for 1 round (1 minute on a critical failure). If Kiru's Strike is a critical hit, the DC increases to DC 25 Fortitude.
Sneak Attack — Kiru deals an extra 1d6 precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.
Surprise Attack — On the first round of combat, creatures that haven't acted yet are Off-Guard to Kiru.

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLANDA frontline that holds enemy attention lets this skirmisher slip to an exposed flank and land Sneak Attack damage each round.
ShadeLANDAn ambusher opening the fight from stealth extends the Off-Guard window this skirmisher exploits on the first round of combat.
SniperLANDA ranged attacker can finish off a target this skirmisher has already made Clumsy, since reduced mobility makes it harder to disengage.
