Combining Backstab and Opportunity Attack
On ProBoards, there was a discussion about these two talents, and how similar they are. The discussion resulted in the recommendation that we use the Backstab description but use the Opportunity Attack name. Any character who has either of these two talents gets the newly merged talent.
Thoughts?
Agreed
We had worked this out a while back on the Google Sheet concerning Talents and we decided the following (turning it green meant we agreed to this I think)
Opportunity Attack
If an opponent moves out of your reach you get a free primary attack without activating.
Sneak Attack
When attacking someone who does not declare an action against you, you can attack on the passive table instead of against the tertiary defense.
We basically renamed and reworked Back Stab to Sneak Attack. So all of those that have Back Stab would be changed to Sneak Attack. I think this works pretty well with 2 differently defined talents. One is a benefit during melee combat and one is the more traditional Backstab.
Also- there are some other talents (arcane talents) in particular that did not make it to the new rules.
