Hamstring Strike (Talent)

Ability Type: Ex

Prerequisites: Rogue 16

Benefit: Once per encounter, a rogue with this talent may sacrifice two or more of their sneak attack dice in exchange for reducing their target's saving throws against future attacks. After successfully hitting a creature with an attack that deals sneak attack damage, the rogue may declare that they are using Hamstring Strike. For each two sneak attack dice that the rogue chooses not to roll as damage, the target creature suffers a -1 penalty to all its saving throws until the start of the rogue's next turn. Creatures with roles, such as Threats and Heavies, treat this talent as a condition, to which they have partial immunity, as defined in their role description.

Sneak Attack Talent: This talent inflicts a sneak attack effect, and may not be used in combination with any other rogue talent inflicting a sneak attack effect.
