In the combat rules i wasn't able to find anything like the "attack of opportunity" of D&D. I mean a silent attack when the opponent is unaware of my presence. For example: I want to shoot an orc with my bow and he isn't seeing me. In this case, i think i should have a sort of bonus. What do you think?
I thought that an obvious possibility is not to consider the opponent Parry bonus; but what about his Stance TN? P.S.: sorry for my poor language, but I'm not used to writing in english ! |

I think it would just be an attack against a TN of 12 (ignoring Parry makes sense)
But as you have time, you can do a Prepared Shot, making any successful attack the next round a Called Shot, which with a bow is a Piercing Blow, meaning an automatic Wound! And in the Loremasters Book p65 it states that most adversaries are killed if they take a single wound, so unless the target makes a protection check.... it's dead anyway! |

I think what you actually mean is a Sneak Attack or a Backstab, which are doable with the ambush rules. -------------------- "I never ask a man what his business is, for it never interests me. What I ask him about are his thoughts and dreams." H. P. Lovecraft

Where do you find the ambush rules? I haven't read the Loremaster's Book Yet. |

Very useful, thank you! I think I'd better read the Loremaster's Book before posting another unuseful question . |

The only stupid question is the one that goes unasked...keep asking, and we'll keep answering
