For some body locations, it's possible to hit them with a max of 95% chance. The aiming formula works like this: First, there's a roll to check for a fumble with a 5% chance (where you either can't find an opening, or you just hit a random area), then it takes skills and stats into account and caps success at 95% if over it, then it applies a location penalty based on body location and whether the target was sitting, standing or prone. The Predator's Eye bonus occurs at the same computational moment as the body location penalty. The Predator's Eye bonus will always be useful (not applying to an already capped value) for head, neck and eye shots. In some circumstances, aiming at other locations would already receive a 95% chance of hitting (100% minus that initial fumble roll).

With the release of Monks comes a bevy of new Combat maneuvers. Note that some of these fall into the new type of Combat Maneuver called a Martial Stance. Martial Stances are relatively strong, passive abilities that last four hours once activated or until another Martial Stance becomes activated, thus a character can only have one Martial Stance active at a time. Three new combat maneuvers are available to Rogues. Thanks goes to GM Finros for coding them, GM Oscuro for designing them, and to GMs Mestys and Estild for review and QC. The CMs are:

For some body locations, it's possible to hit them with a max of 95% chance. The aiming formula works like this: First, there's a roll to check for a fumble with a 5% chance (where you either can't find an opening, or you just hit a random area), then it takes skills and stats into account and caps success at 95% if over it, then it applies a location penalty based on body location and whether the target was sitting, standing or prone. The Predator's Eye bonus occurs at the same computational moment as the body location penalty. The Predator's Eye bonus will always be useful (not applying to an already capped value) for head, neck and eye shots. In some circumstances, aiming at other locations would already receive a 95% chance of hitting (100% minus that initial fumble roll).
