Stealth Knockout

Description
You are an expert at taking your foes down quickly, quietly and without killing them. You are very good at to sneaking up behind someone and beating them over the head just right so that their brain rattles inside their skull like a pinball, knocking them unconscious.

Effects
In order to use Stealth Knockout, you must be Sneaking and successfully hidden from view. Stealth Knockout can be used both in and out of combat, but costs 3 Stamina in either case. When used in combat, Stealth Knockout costs 3 AP. As this requires you to both be hidden and not to spend any AP on Moving, it takes very careful planning and execution to pull off.

When you use Stealth Knockout, you designate an adjacent, unaware target and make a Club attack roll, which they defend against using VIG. If the enemy fails their roll, they are immediately knocked Unconscious. If they succeed, their stamina is drained by an amount equal to the damage dealt by your weapon, and you immediately enter combat.

Enemies who are wearing helmets or space suits double the results of their VIG roll to resist being knocked out.
