This Rogue meets the full Triggers of both Ambush and Exact Cut. An Event is the moment named in a trait’s Trigger.

  1. When declaring the attack, choose Ambush and pay one Ambush use.
  2. Apply the Ambush bonus already chosen at its proper point. This is part of that use, not a fresh Event or trait choice.
  3. Later, when the winning hit’s normal Wound Margin is known and Exact Cut’s full Trigger is met, choose Exact Cut and pay one Exact Cut use.

Result: Applying Ambush’s existing bonus gives no new choice. Exact Cut is possible at its later Event because its own Trigger is met.

  • For this example, the Rogue starts a Melee Dagger Exchange during their own Activation while hidden from the target. They Boost with at least one of their own Action Dice, declare Ambush before the target chooses a response, and stay hidden until rolling.
  • Exact Cut needs the boosted Dagger attack to win with normal Wound Margin at least 1, against anatomy the Rogue can reach and understand. Declare it before Wound Conversion.
  • Pay the underlying Action and Boost normally. Each selected trait spends its own use.
  • For a trait modifying a spell declaration, choosing the target and committing casting dice form one Event, allowing one trait choice. A later named result or reroll may be a separate Event.
