Abilities

Attack of Opportunity↺

Brutal Beating

The ruffian's brutality shakes foes' confidence.

When the ruffian deals damage on a critical hit, the target is Frightened 1, and the ruffian can knock the target up to 10 feet away (this is forced movement).

Snagging Strike↺

Trigger The ruffian has one hand free, and its target is within reach of that hand.

Effect The ruffian makes a melee Strike while keeping one hand free. If this Strike hits, the target is Off-Guard until the start of the ruffian's next turn or until it leaves the ruffian's reach, whichever comes first.

Sneak Attack

The ruffian deals an extra 1d6 precision damage to Off-Guard creatures.

Some criminals are the desperate who have no option but to break the law to survive, while others choose a life of crime for thrills, forming gangs or underworld guilds that specialize in certain illegal ventures.
