Befuddling Strike (Talent)

Your attacks are designed to confuse the senses of your enemy, masking your movements as you circle your prey.

Ability Type: Ex

Prerequisites: Rogue 1

Benefit: When the rogue deals sneak attack damage against an opponent, that opponent takes a -1 penalty on attack rolls against the rogue until the beginning of the rogue's next turn. This penalty improves by an additional -1 per two experience tiers of the Rogue class the rogue possesses after the first. Thus, it improves to a -2 penalty if the rogue has at least 3 tiers of the Rogue class (at Rogue level 11), -3 at five tiers (at Rogue level 21), and -4 if the rogue has all seven tiers of the Rogue class (at Rogue level 31). Creatures with roles, such as Threats and Heavies, do not treat this talent as a condition, therefore suffering its effects like any other creature.

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.
