Dart Into the Shadows

At Level 12, you've learned the art of striking and dashing out of sight in an instant. After a successful sneak attack, you can hide as a free action.

Ambush

You use the element of surprise to get the drop on your enemies. Starting at Level 16, while sneaking and fully hidden, you can Ambush as an action to initiate combat. When you do, any number of allied creatures who are also sneaking and fully hidden can join in the ambush as well. You and every other creature that joins in the ambush gets a +10 circumstance bonus to their Initiative roll and one additional action frame during their first turn.

Artful Dodger

Your fighting strategy becomes more refined as you capitalize on your enemies' failures to keep their guard up. Starting at Level 20, you get a 1-frame opportunity attack against any creature whenever it moves out of your reach, or whenever you succeed on a Dodge check against one of that creature's attacks.

Legendary Killer

You've made a name for yourself and will undoubtedly be remembered as a fearsome killer. Starting at Level 26, whenever you hit with a Sneak Attack, you get a critical hit instead.
