Surgical Shock
An investigator's precise strikes short-circuit a foe's coordination or wits, leaving them clumsy or stupefied before they recover.
With a few well-placed jabs with your fist or weapon, you render your opponent disoriented or ungainly. Attempt a check against the Fortitude DC of a target within your reach. The result of your check determines the severity of the condition you inflict.
Critical Success The target is either Clumsy 3 or Stupefied 3 until the end of your next turn. The target is then immune to Surgical Shock for 1 hour.
Failure The target is minorly inconvenienced. You gain a +1 circumstance bonus to the next attack action you attempt against it before the end of your turn.
Critical Failure The target is unaffected and you overextend yourself, triggering reactions as if you had used a manipulate action.
