Weeeeelll... Call of Cthulhu mechanically emphasised how boned you were, does that count? But, as Mr. Maltose says, like computer games, designers have slowly been learning better ways of doing things.

Besides that by the rules as written, you can roundhouse kick Deep Ones. ENWorld told me so. :v:

E: vvv Well yeah, that's all true.

So after the contents page, we get to the intro. There is a one-page fiction piece, but I need to point out, I have the pdf and these pages aren't big. Actually, it looks like in print it'd be on an annoying square page thing.

Some kind of landscape semi-A5, really. Certainly the weirdest book I own.

The description of a Surprise Attack is when the target does not/cannot benefit from the Dodge bonus to Defense. They turned the Rogue’s Sneak Attack into a learnable feat! Unfortunately this version still carries with it the ugly 3rd Edition legacy of Surprise Attack not working against targets that are immune to it for one verisimilitudinous reason or another.

In their defence, Blue Rose presumably doesn't assume a million billion non-organic monsters immune to Sneak Surprise Attack, preferring humanoid NPCs as the default.

...Except for the Lich BBEG and his undead hordes. Nevermind.
