Throat Cutter

Description
Like the bad guy in a cheap horror flick, you're an accomplished slicer of tracheas. You know just how to sneak up on someone and keep them still for long enough to take their life. It's like you always say: when all you have's a knife, the world looks like a neck.

Effects
In order to use Throat Cutter, you must be Sneaking and successfully hidden from view. Throat Cutter can be used both in and out of combat, but costs 5 Stamina in either case. When used in combat, Throat Cutter 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 Throat Cutter, you designate an adjacent, unaware target and make a Knife attack roll, which they defend against using VIG. If the enemy fails their roll, they immediately die. If they succeed, they instead take a Critical Wound and start to gush blood from the neck, suffering the Bleeding (3) Condition. This Attack is not targeted, but will automatically fail if the target's Head has an armor value higher than the attack's Penetration.

Throat Cutter cannot be used against robots and some creatures.
