Abilities
Aerial Feint (mental) — The aerialist chooses a creature within 20 feet and attempts an Acrobatics check against the target's Perception DC. On a success, the target is Off-Guard against the aerialist's Strikes for 1 round.
Dive Bomb — The strix aerialist Flies up to double its fly Speed in a straight line, descending at least 10 feet, and then makes a melee Strike.
Sneak Attack — The strix aerialist's Strikes deal an additional 2d6 precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLAND / AERIALA durable frontline pins a target in place so the aerialist's dive bomb reliably closes the distance for the kill.
SnareLAND / AERIALA controller that keeps a target from repositioning guarantees the aerial feint lands before the sneak attack follows.
PUNISHES
✖ standing still✖ low Perception✖ isolated targets
