Robber, Mugger, Footpad…<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

In underworld slang they are called “Rampsman” or “Mug-Hunters.”\u00a0 The most common type of Rogue and the kind that comes to mind when most people think of thieves and ruffians.\u00a0 They ply their trade from dark alleys and in the back streets away from the glare of the gas lights.\u00a0 Stealth, surprise and violence is their stock in trade, though it does not pay to be too violent.\u00a0 Robbery may get you a stint in Newgate but murder gets you a dose of “Hemp Fever.”<\/p>\n

Surprise Rolls<\/strong><\/p>\n

Muggers stalk their prey in the streets of towns and cities.\u00a0 Their Situational Awareness is attuned to the sights, sounds and smells of the streets, alleys and courtyards of the environment they hunt.\u00a0 For these Rogues, Surprise is modified as follows:<\/p>\n

Being Surprised<\/strong>
-2 to Surprise Roll when outside in an urban environment
-1 to Surprise Roll when Indoors
0 modification to Surprise Roll in the countryside or rural\/wilderness environment<\/span><\/p>\n

Surprising Others<\/strong>
+2 to Surprise Roll when outside in an urban environment
+1 to Surprise Roll when Indoors
0 modification to Surprise Roll in the countryside or rural\/wilderness environment <\/span><\/p>\n

Initiative Rolls
\n<\/span><\/strong>The experiences of fights in barrooms and back alleys, gives Robbers an Initiative bonus of -1 to rolls.<\/strong>
<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Back Stab
\n<\/strong>The signature attack of a Robber\/Footpad\/Mugger Rouge. It is not a skill that all Rogue\u2019s posses. To successfully employ it the Rogue must achieve Surprise on the victim. This is usually obtained by Hiding in Shadows until the victim is distracted or using Stealth to approach from behind.
\nBack Stabbing need not employ a knife or blade. Most Robbers prefer a sap or cosh, to render a victim unconscious and avoid a date with the Hangman for murder. However, even when employing such a weapon, there is a risk of accidentally killing the victim.
\nThe amount of Damage done in a Back Stab is based on the weapon, the Rouge\u2019s Strength and his or her level.<\/p>\n

Assuming the Rogue is unnoticed, the Attack from Behind is at +4 to Hit.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1-4<\/td>\nDouble Damage<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
