6.1 Ambush

If an attacker successfully made a Stealth or Hide roll and remained undetected (versus a Listen, Sense, or Spot roll), they can ambush an opponent. If the attacks are with missile weapons, the ambusher gets a single combat round where all their attacks are Easy. If the ambusher is using a melee weapon, the defender can only try to Dodge or parry (if a weapon is available) for one combat round. Next round, combat is handled as normal.
