Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +3, Dexterity 13+

Automatically granted by: Rogue 4

Required for: Vigilante

Specifics: The character knows brutal and effective fighting tactics, a set of active instant-use abilities that can target and damage an enemy. All Dirty Fighting techniques are done at -4 AB and have a 9-second cooldown. DC is 10 + Character Level / 3 + (Bluff, Sleight of Hand, Taunt, or Intimidate) / 6. Damage is 1d4 + Dex Mod, even for unarmed attacks (does not apply glove slot bonuses). Debuff only works on mostly humanoids and animals. All are limited to melee range. May also be activated via console command -usefeat. Techniques (usable by both melee and ranged wielders for as long as conditions apply): Sand in the Eyes - blinds for 6 seconds, Reflex negates, can be used when having a free hand (Not dual-wielding or holding a shield with a weapon, twohand and ranged without shield can use this). Pommel Strike - dazes for 3 seconds, Fortitude negates, can be used when wielding a melee weapon. Low Blow - slows for 6 seconds, Will negates, can be used by all weapon styles. Nosebreak - stuns for 3 seconds, Fortitude negates, can be used when holding a shield or wearing heavy armor. Headbutt - confuses for 3 seconds, Will negates, can be used by all weapon styles.

Notes

Instant Attack Feats (Activated):

• Instant attacks share a cooldown timer: Dirty Fighting, Divine Smite, Eldritch Blast, Eviscerate, Elemental Maelstrom, Elemental Strike, Misericorde, Whirlwind Attack
• Using instant attacks lower attacks in the following round by 1. This is meant to offset the free attack gained by activating them.
• Instant attacks are made to look and feel like regular melee attacks while actually being an entirely independent feature. Cannot trigger cleave and similar abilities for this reason.
• Instant attacks mirror the animation delay of regular attacks via a short cooldown after casting a spell.
• Parrying instant attacks works differently the normal parry mechanics because it is scripted and implemented differently. Parry cannot riposte instant attacks, but parrying the instant attack does not count against parries-per-round. Against a character that has 4 APR and additionally uses an instant attack every round (like a hasted Spellsword), parry builds can parry 4 of these 5 attacks per round and riposte three of them.
• Most instant attacks (except Whirlwind Attack) ignore Weapon Master crit feats. Exception is elemental strike/maelstrom which only allows Ki Critical for Bladesingers (where the feat is built-in to the path) to enable their extra threat range.
• If an attacker is running, their melee instant special attacks against PCs now roll at a disadvantage.

• This disadvantage applies to both attack and threat rolls, causing the attacker to roll a d20 twice and proceed with the lower result. Replaces a prior 0.5 second movement speed penalty.

• Epic Dodge does not cause Instant Attacks to automatically miss due to an engine limitation (Epic Dodge is hard coded to affect normal flurry attacks). It instead forces any Instant Attack to roll at disadvantage until it causes one to miss. Then it goes on cooldown for 6 seconds.

• This means attacking a target that has Epic Dodge while moving will roll twice at disadvantage. Effectively rolling four times.

• Instant Attacks can apply Sneak Attacks if the requirements to perform a Sneak Attack are met.
