Dirty Trickster

Prerequisite(s): Svartálfar only

You are adept at fighting outside the bounds of honor. You gain the following benefits:

• Increase your Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You may choose to use your Dexterity in place of Strength when attempting an unarmed strike.
• Your unarmed strike uses a d4 for damage.
• When you succeed in making an unarmed strike against a creature, in place of dealing damage you may choose to impose a temporary penalty on your target in the form of a dirty trick. Examples include throwing slime in an opponent’s face to impose the blinded condition on them, tangling their legs in cave spider silk to halve their speed, or striking them in a sensitive area to leave them stunned.

Conditions and penalties are subject to GM approval, and any items necessary for the trick must be in your possession beforehand. The conditions and penalties imposed only last for 1 round and can be dismissed if the target spends an action to remove the effects.
