The attack roll for a Strike targeting the assassin fails or critically fails
The assassin deftly steps out of the way of the attack. If there's another creature adjacent to the assassin and within reach of the triggering attack, the assassin redirects the attack to that adjacent creature. The attacker then rerolls the Strike's attack roll against the new target.

Vorpal Garrote (death, incapacitation)
The master assassin used Study Target during the previous round and must have a garrote bolt

Failure The target takes an additional 3d12 precision damage.
Critical Failure The target is decapitated and instantly dies unless it doesn't require a head to live.
