Up Close and Personal and "Hidden Strike" talents

[Wolfspirit]

I couldn't find an answer for this in the Playtest threads, but from Up Close and Personal:

Up Close and Personal:

If the Acrobatics check succeeds, this attack applies the stalker vigilante’s hidden strike damage as if the foe was unaware of the stalker vigilante

Would this allow the Stalker to apply a "Hidden Strike" talent such as Foe Collision or Leave an Opening?

[Mike Lindner]

I assume not as this prevents being able to apply powerful effects like mighty ambush against every opponent in a combat.

[Mark Seifter]

Yes it does, Wolfspirit!

That's pretty interesting. I think that my level 1 Warlock is going to be rerolling to a Stalker as I progress him now.

Stalkers seem seriously awesome

I know that some of the other classes I worked on were crazier and more different than anything we've put out before, but in other ways, I think the stalker, due to the its constraints and niche, has been the toughest challenge for me so far. I'm glad to see that people are finding really cool ways to use it!

I'm thinking the exact same thing.
