Some specifics on the upcoming elf:
ELVEN HUNTRESS:
ABILITIES:
Leap: Leap 2 spaces (Stealth leaping is 6x more likely to be spotted than prowling.)
Dodge: 30% chance to dodge missile & breath hits
Prowl: Chance of being spotted sneaking is 5% + 5% per adjacent facing monster (pilfering remains 10% + 10%); extra +2 to surprise sword attacks
SKILLS:
Leap Attack I: Attack what you leap over, with 40% chance of causing panic (formerly called disorientation)
Leap Attack II: 50% panic
Leap Attack III: 60% panic
[You can use the button under the elf portrait to turn leap attack on or off. During stealth, the default is Off. Once spotted, the default is On (unless it’s your second feat action and you turned it Off on your first feat action.]
Evade I: If guarding, dodge applies to all hits, counter with bow or sword
Evade II: 40% dodge
Evade III: 50% dodge
Long Shot I: Bow distance penalty is -2
Long Shot II: Bow distance penalty is -1
Long Shot III: No bow distance penalty
Flaming Arrow I: +1 per flame along arrow’s path (flames of equal range only count as one, so it’s a max of 2 flames that add to the bonus)
Flaming Arrow II: +2 per flame along arrow’s path
Flaming Arrow III: +1 to above total
DURING FEATS: Huntress can leap 3.
OTHER CHANGES:
-
Surprise leap attacks are allowed
-
Ability to turn leap attack on/off
-
Leap attacks get any applicable focus bonus and generate focus on the last miss. (When leap attacking multiple targets, the first target counts as an attack, thus causing loss of focus on anything else.)
-
Extended Leap Attacks (from a feat or leap scroll) generate an attack against all monsters on tiles along the leap path even if two away. (up to 4 monsters can be attacked)
-
If you leap over a slime with the elf, the slime gets a free action to turn in the direction the elf was leaping. (does not apply to scroll leaps)
-
Leap Attacks are eligible for Heroic Strikes. Rolling a 10 (or 9 against dragons) will trigger a feat.
