			==Roundtime==
			{{main\|Base weapon speed}}
			Whether one is attacking from hiding or in the open, using the AMBUSH verb adds three seconds to an attacker's weapon BASE [[roundtime]]. This additional roundtime may be mitigated in the normal way via [[agility]] and [[dexterity]] bonuses down to the ''minimum ambush roundtime'' of the particular weapon used. The minimum ambush roundtime of a weapon differs from the normal minimum roundtime of that weapon as follows:

			{\| {{Prettytable\|text-align:center;}}
			\|-bgcolor=lightblue
			!Weapon base speed
			!Normal Min. RT
			!Min. Ambush RT
			\|-
			\| 1
			\| 3
			\| 4
			\|-
			\| 2, 3
			\| 4
			\| 5
			\|-
			\| 4+
			\| 5
			\| 6
			\|}

			==Success and Failure (melee weapons)==

			The factors that influence the chance of successfully attacking the body part aimed for include:
			* difficulty of the particular body part targeted (smaller and more critical parts of the body are harder to aim for)
			* the difficulty modifier for the weapon used (larger weapons are harder to aim)
			* difference in attacker and target [[level]]
			* the attacker's [[Ambush]] skill
			* the attacker's [[Combat Maneuvers]] skill (when aiming from the open, as opposed to from hiding)
			* any eye or bleeding head [[wound]]s the attacker may have
			* formula for aiming success: [[Aiming Success]]

			Failure to hit the desired body part will result in attacking a different part of the target's body, or, at low skill levels, may result in the attacker being unable to find an opening for an attack yet still incurring roundtime.

			==Other Limitations==

			Any condition that prevents a character from attacking normally will prevent this verb from working, as will attempting to aim at a nonexistent (''e.g.'', the legs of a worm) or already severed body part.

			Size disparity can also prevent aiming at specific body parts. Large [[character]]s will not be able to aim at specific parts of small critters (''e.g.'', a [[human]] cannot aim at specific parts of a spiked cavern urchin). Furthermore, no character can aim at a part of a [[creature]] that, because of size limitations, is out of his or her reach (''e.g.'', a [[dwarf]] cannot aim at the head or neck of a [[giant]] that is standing up). The use of longer weapons can somewhat mitigate this.
