[Crossbow Infiltrator]Infiltration Assassination [two-actions]


Rules Discussion


Hello, I have a question about the Infiltration Assassination feat.

Quote:
Make a melee Strike using your gauntlet bow as a gauntlet. If the Strike is successful, you automatically latch onto the target, giving them the grabbed condition, then make a ranged Strike against them with your gauntlet bow. This Strike does not trigger reactions normally triggered by ranged attacks. If you are holding or wearing an injury poison, you can apply it to the bolt used in the attack as a free action before making the ranged Strike.

It gives a grabbed condition automatically if the strike is successful, is it right ? If the characters uses a crescent cross, is it the blade of the crescent cross that suck in the opponent ? DC to Escape is the Athletics skill + 10 from the crossbow infiltrator ?

Is the grabbed condition only during its turn of the crossbow infiltrator ?

There is a MAP on the ranged strike.

Thanks for your future answer.

In order:

1- Yes, if the Melee strike hits, the enemy is automatically grabbed.
2- Whether the blade is struck or not isn't particularly relevant, the important part is you're using the Crescent Cross to grab so you likely can't use it for anything else.
3- Yes, the Escape DC should still be calculated as normal, so it'd be the Athletics DC of the character using Infiltration Assassination.
4- In this case I would assume the intention is to give the Grabbed condition until the end of your next turn or they Escape (like Combat Grab), but as written they actually gain the Grabbed condition until they Escape, since it has no listed duration, but that seems like an oversight.
5- Yes, the ranged Strike suffers MAP since nothing in the feat says we can ignore it.

Guys, what are you even talking about?

Requirements. You're wielding a loaded gauntlet bow.
You can't use this feat with anything but gauntlet bow.
Crescent Cross can't be used with it at all.

You can with the feat Crescent Cross Training which I assume OP has because otherwise, as you point out, you can't use Infiltration Assassination with it.

Ah, I see. Even saw the feat, just didn't read it in full.
