Divert is a combat maneuver available to rogues that allows the user to cause a diversion while hiding 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 bonus is directly added to the attack roll and gnomes get a bonus for being good ventriloquists. For example, if your INF bonus is 10 and your endroll was 135, then 10 of that was from INF. If your 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 you out of 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 players.
