Additional Mechanical Information
This skill is useful because it allows a character to jump back into hiding without the need to HIDE again.
A rogue must obtain at least two ranks of Shadow Mastery before training in Silent Strike. Additional ranks in Silent Strike will help to ensure an attack without revealing one's self. The character's level versus the target also seems to play a role in determining whether the maneuver is successful.
If a rogue does not successfully perform the Silent Strike, they will attack the target normally, as if attempting to AMBUSH from hiding. The character will still incur the maneuver's normal stamina cost.
If the rogue has learned at least rank 3 of Silent Strike, they will attempt to remain hidden when performing the Cutthroat or Subdue maneuvers.
While characters may not see the rogue that performs a silent strike, it does not excuse rogues from the JUSTICE system if they attack a character in town.
Having the Armored Stealth Armor Specialization active will add to success. The chance for success is capped at 99%.
