This Rogue meets the full Triggers of both Ambush and Exact Cut. An Event is the moment named in a trait’s Trigger.
- When declaring the attack, choose Ambush and pay one Ambush use.
- Apply the Ambush bonus already chosen at its proper point. This is part of that use, not a fresh Event or trait choice.
- 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.
