Sneak Attack
A silent, treacherous and vicious attack against a single Defenseless target.
Must be performed with a light melee weapon (not heavy nor pole weapons), or with a ranged weapon at short range.
On a critical failure you somehow fall, make a huge noise or fall into a trap. You are startled, and your turn is taken by your target.
Every Sneak Attack is also a Surprise Attack, but not every Surprise Attack is a Sneak Attack, see Surprise Attack for an example.
