Notes[edit | edit source]
- Desperation does not guarantee the user a follow-up attack.
- If the user can perform a follow-up attack, either by a speed check or a skill such as
Brash Assault 3, the initial attack and follow-up will occur before the foe can perform a counterattack. - A foe with a skill such as
Vantage 3 has priority over the user with Desperation. - Desperation changes the attack priority, or order of attacks, and therefore can be disabled by skills such as
Hardy Bearing 3.
