Stunning Surprise
Striking from total surprise can lock a foe down cold, though the same trick can't be used on them again for a full day.
Requirements You must be undetected by the target creature.
You quickly move in to bring your foe down with a single blow. You move up to your Speed then make a melee Strike. If you hit and deal damage, your foe must attempt a save against your class DC or spell DC, whichever is higher. Regardless of the save outcome, the creature then becomes immune to your Stunning Surprise for 24 hours.
Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success The creature is Stunned 1 and can't use reactions until its next turn.
Failure The creature is Stunned 3 and can't use reactions until its next turn.
Critical Failure The creature falls for 1 minute.
