'''Silent strike''' is a [[Rogue]] [[Combat Maneuver]] that allows a [[character]] to attack a target from hiding without revealing his or her location. Characters that witness a successful silent strike will see "a shadowy figure" strike a target in place of the character's name.

This skill is useful because it allows a character to jump back into hiding without the need to [[HIDE (verb)|HIDE]] again. However, it cannot be used to aim attacks.

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 successfully, he or she will attack the target normally, as if attempting to [[AMBUSH (verb)|AMBUSH]] from hiding. The player will still incur the maneuver's normal [[stamina]] cost.

While characters may not see the Rogue that performs a silent strike, it does not excuse Rogues from the [[JUSTICE (verb)|JUSTICE]] system if he or she attacks a character in town.
