Is the trigger for taking out the second guard having >0 stealth power? I seem to recall thinking this was the case at one point.

I was able to successfully instakill guard 2 with 1 stealth power, having tried luring him and failing once, and
Perception: 6 (11)
Reflexes: 7 (13)
Strength: 9 (14)
Will: 7 (14)
Hat: security visor
Weapon: hooked chain
Offhand: unearthly coin
Shirt: dirty old trenchcoat
Pants: smelly old pants
Gadget: mysterious puzzle rod

active. Anyone wanna help pare down this mystery?

Did you ever try to lure the second guard?

TeKRunneR 07 Sep 2010 09:58

No. I lured the first guard (succeeded on first try), then charged in.

I think you have to try and lure away the second guard to be able to instakill him. I did not try to lure a second time and had a weapon with +1 Stealth Power equipped (a filthy pistol) and still got a second guard when I charged in. So my guess that 1 Stealth Power from any source is enough, but only if you try to lure a second time.

Heh, looks like someone hasn't read my previous post.

Maybe it's a matter of having +1 stealth power and… perception or reflexes above a certain value?

Hm, failed to instakill with:
Power
7 Ranged Power
1 Stealth Power

Defense
2 Etheric Defense
2 Melee Defense
3 Ranged Defense

Perception: 7 (13)
Reflexes: 5 (8)
Strength: 3 (6)
Will: 3 (9)

I have a growing suspicion the condition is to have any stealth power AND at least 8>x>=10 reflexes.

I instakilled with 3 Stealth Power and 5 (8) Reflexes, but I tried to lure another guard away first. Maybe that boost your effective stats for purposes of whatever trigger is running here?

I failed at on the action "Lure a guard away."

These are my stats:
Perception: 4(7)
Reflexes: 5 (8)
Strength: 4 (7)
Will: 4 (7)

Bonuses:
4 Evasion Power
4 Melee Power
