This is really bad. Worse even than in DnD 5e.
Literally the only way to surprise an enemy is to Hide and attack them before initiative is rolled. Usually with a ranged attack, because they’ll spot you first if you get close regardless of Hide. Often because they’re scripted to automatically start combat when a player gets in range.
Worse yet, the game frequently bugs out and just doesn’t trigger Surprise anyway.

Doesn't seems to work really.
I thought at first it might be only 1 crit by surprised target but even then, it doesn't auto-crit.
Either it's bugged or I don't understand how it works, doesn't auto-crit surprised targets (or at least, not at 100%)
Does this have a cooldown? or can I really get multiple guaranteed crits back to back to back?
From my testing it seems like enemies need to actually have the condition/effect "surprised" which is weird because this means rn that if you stalk a person that is alone that you won't be able to snipe or backstab them the way this subclass makes it seem.
After you open on them & they react surprised is when you get the bonus, just a tad too late especially compared to the Thief

Have an invisible character/ summoned minion (Imp and Quasit are great for this) attack an enemy. Almost always guarantees giving enemies Surprised status effect.
