Additional Information
Divert is a combat maneuver available to rogues that allows the user to cause a diversion while hidden or invisible, tricking a creature opponent into leaving the room. The user can either divert the opponent in a specific direction, or lure the opponent to a random adjacent room.
An Influence (INF) bonus is directly added to the attack roll and both forest and burghal gnomes receive a bonus for being good ventriloquists. For example, an INF bonus of 10 and an endroll of 135 means that 10 of that endroll was from INF. If INF bonus was 15, all-else-equal, that endroll would be 140.
A 101 endroll will send the target away. Higher endrolls result in longer roundtime.
If the rogue fails the maneuver badly, they may fall out of hiding. Failing by a typical margin will not drop hiding, but it will make successive attempts to Divert the same target harder for a period of time (since it's just not buying the ruse).
Divert will not work against other player characters. Divert is not stance dependent.
Divert is granted to Rogues for free upon mastering Rogue Gambits through the Rogue Guild.
