Brutal Beating The ruffian’s brutality shakes foes’ confidence. When the ruffian deals damage on a critical hit, the target is frightened 1, and the ruffian can knock the target up to 10 feet away (this is forced movement).

Snagging Strike ◆ Trigger The ruffian has one hand free, and its target is within reach of that hand; Effect The ruffian makes a melee Strike while keeping one hand free. If this Strike hits, the target is flat-footed until the start of the ruffian’s next turn or until it leaves the ruffian’s reach, whichever comes first.

Sneak Attack The ruffian deals an extra 1d6 precision damage to flat-footed creatures.
